During a White House briefing marking his first year in office, Donald Trump delivered a lengthy and rambling speech, highlighting his achievements in a monotonous tone. The speech, lasting over an hour and a half, was marked by digressions, including anecdotes about his childhood and references to mental illness. He touched on topics ranging from his love for the Hispanic community to xenophobic remarks about Somalia, and repeated false claims about the 2020 election. Trump also criticized former special counsel Jack Smith and briefly addressed a fatal shooting by ICE, noting the victim's parents were Trump supporters. The briefing included a moment where Trump struggled with a paper clip, joking about concealing any pain it might have caused.
