Trump claims he ‘hasn’t made any mistakes’ in first 100 days: Live

The former vice president took aim at President Donald Trump’s administration at a gala supporting Democratic women in public office on Wednesday.

Harris also attacked some of Trump’s recent policy decisions, particularly tariffs, which she called “the greatest man-made economic crisis in modern presidential history” because they could make everyday items more expensive.

The event coincided with the 100-day mark of Trump’s administration.

Harris said she’d let others explain what has happened so far but noted, “Instead of an administration working to advance America’s highest ideals, we are witnessing the wholesale abandonment of those ideals.”

She warned that the country could be headed toward a recession and constitutional crisis if the administration continues to defy Congress and the courts.

Donald Trump said he would “love” to see ESPN personality Stephen A. Smith run for president, describing him as “a smart guy.”

Trump spoke up for Smith as the president faced a grilling from him at a NewsNation town hall on Wednesday. Trump said he “enjoyed watching” the TV personality and sports pundit, and would put him above other Democratic candidates.

Stephen A. Smith received a round of applause from the NewsNation town hall studio audience after he challenged the president over the executive orders aimed at dismantling DEI initiative across federal agencies.

“How do you justify these measures, and what message do they send to the marginalized communities in this country?” Smith asked.

“We have a country that’s based solely on merit now, and that’s the way it is,” Trump replied.

“If somebody is out there doing a great job, and this includes getting into colleges if you’ve worked really hard… we don’t look at race, we don’t look at color, we don’t look at height or shortness or weight.”

Donald Trump hit back at suggestions that his international tariff deals were taking time to materialize, telling moderators at a televised town hall to mark his first 100 days back in office: “I’m in less of a hurry than you.”

The president, who joined the NewsNation event on Wednesday night via phone, appeared to row back on claims he had already made agreements with hundreds of countries, downgrading them to just a handful of “potential deals.”

In a recent interview with Time, Trump boasted that he had already struck “200 deals” with countries over tariffs, saying they were “100 percent” sorted – though he refused to name any specific nations.

At a NewsNation town hall on Wednesday, author and journalist Bill O’Reilly asked Trump about reports that he had already made deals with South Korea, Japan, and India. He asked when the deals might be announced.

“Well, we have potential deals with that,” Trump replied. “But I’ll tell you this, I’m in less of a hurry than you are. We are sitting on the catbird seat. They want us. We don’t need them.”
