Trump marks 100 days

PRESIDENT Donald Trump on Tuesday celebrated the 100th day of his second term - yet spent much of his rally marking it in campaign mode, fixated on past grudges and grievances.

- 

He repeatedly mocked his Democratic predecessor, Joe Biden, attacking his mental acuity and even how he appears in a bathing suit. He again uttered the lie that he won the 2020 presidential election. And he attacked polling and news coverage not favourable to him.

And Mr Trump again and again returned to immigration, his signature issue, at the rally that marked his largest political event since returning to the White House - boasting about his administration's “mass deportation” efforts that have sent arrests for illegal crossings along the United States-Mexico border plummeting.
