During a Tuesday press conference, President Donald Trump rebuked a reporter for repeatedly interrupting him while discussing his decision to pardon over 1,500 individuals involved in the January 6 riot. When asked about differences between his views and Vice President JD Vance’s, Trump was cut off multiple times and responded sharply, saying, “Stop interrupting. The American public is tired of one-sided, horrible people like you.”
Trump defended the pardons, emphasizing that many served significant jail time for minor offenses, contrasting it with leniency shown to violent criminals. He criticized district attorneys for targeting political opponents while ignoring severe crimes.
Trump’s administration began swiftly with over 200 executive orders targeting border security, energy policies, and reducing living costs. He declared a national border emergency and tasked law enforcement agencies with eliminating cartel activities.
Additionally, the Senate confirmed Marco Rubio as secretary of state, with bipartisan support. Rubio, a strong China critic, will focus on foreign policy challenges, including Ukraine, China, and Gaza.
