'ONE year into the return to the presidency of Donald Trump... and he's grabbing the crops.
'I think God is proud of me.' Trump's stunning first year in office
A year into his return to the presidency, Donald Trump has surprised and shocked.In the 1 hour 45 minute monologue, the billionaire bragged, attacked his enemies, lamented his failure to win the Nobel Peace Prize and boasted about the support of the Hells Angels.All this during a surreally disjointed presentation.
Donald Trump marked one year since his return to power on Tuesday with a long and tearful speech in which he expressed his displeasure at the lack of recognition of his history and values.
The US president, who spoke casually and without much enthusiasm, stood before a packed press room at the White House for an hour and 45 minutes - including an hour and twenty minutes of monologue."I think God is very proud of my work," he answered the question.
To others, his words are a list of his usual complaints and attacks.
No sensational announcement or significant announcement
For a year, the 79-year-old Republican has bounced around the world, facing no real resistance from foreign countries, political opponents or his own colleagues as he did in his first term (2017-2021).
What are the results of his year in office?A series of decisions that atomized politics, the limits of organizations, are taken by his will, sometimes his wishes, as the sole boss.
"My team doesn't blame me very often," the Republican president commented."I don't like to do it, to be honest with you. I do it because we have to deliver a message," Donald Trump told reporters.
The first house producer regrets that the press did not make the economic news that he considers very good, including the cost of living, the main concern of the voters.
"We dropped them a lot," he said of the prices, "adding, 'I don't understand. . . . Maybe my PRs aren't very good, but we don't get the message.'

Before heading to the Davos forum, the American President once again threatened Europeans, including France, with prohibitive tariffs.
Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer said in a press release on the one-year anniversary of his inauguration: "Trump wants to rule like a king. [...] It's getting crazier and more unacceptable."
The opposition hopes to draw on American discontent, visible in public opinion polls, to satisfy a so-far minority Congress in the fall midterm elections.In a recent CBS/YouGov poll, 74% of respondents think the president doesn't do enough on prices, while 53% think the president spends too much time on foreign policy.
Nobel Peace Prize: It's Norway's fault!
In another repeated complaint, the Republican president regretted not receiving the Nobel Peace Prize, saying that Norway controlled the selection of the winner, which he said was the work of an independent committee.
Commenting on the death of Renée Good, an American woman who was killed by an immigration officer in Minneapolis, he said: "I think it's terrible."His father in particular – I hope he's still there, but I don't know – is a big supporter of Trump, the billionaire then noted.
Speech interruption
Jumping from one topic to another, often repeating himself, but without the energy he might have shown at campaign rallies, America's oldest ever president also boasted the support of the world's most famous biker gang.
"I like the Hells Angels. They voted for me. They protected me," he said, referring to this group, which the US Department of Justice considers a "criminal organization".
