Trump: I give myself an A+ as president

President Trump gave himself high marks for his time in the White House.

In February 2017, Trump gave himself a C for messaging, admitting that he had not been able to properly explain his accomplishments.

Trump was asked during “Fox & Friends” how he would grade himself now.

“I would give myself an A plus,” Trump responded, noting that he’s had to fight “phony charges” his entire presidency.

He added that no other president has been able to accomplish what he has, despite the negative coverage of his presidency. Trump also cited his messaging on the Russia investigation, which he calls a “witch hunt.”

“I’m fighting a battle against a horrible group of deep-seeded people, drain the swamp, that are coming up with all sorts of phony charges against me and they’re not bringing up real charges against the other side.

“So we have a phony deal going on and it’s a cloud over my head. I’ve been able to really escape that cloud because the message now, everyone knows, it’s a fix, OK? It’s a witch hunt, and they know that.”
