Empty seats were photographed by reporter at Donald Trump’s 100-Days rally.
President Trump on Monday released a tri- umphant campaign adver- tisement declaring his first 100 days in office a success, and branding news media that have reported otherwise as “FAKE NEWS.”
The 30-second television advertisement and a series of more targeted versions that are to run online are the lat- est examples of Mr. Trump’s extraordinarily early return to politicking at a time when most presidents would be spending their time pushing through their highest legislative priorities.

Gergen said on a CNN panel following Trump’s speech that bringing “your campaign speech into the presidency is something presidents rarely do.”

about his bombshell Twitter post from early March describ- ing Mr. Obama as a ‘bad and“sick’ man.
“You don’t have to ask me,” the president said, cutting off Mr. Dickerson in midsen- tence.
