- 'Mexico will NOT pay for any wall': President Nieto releases video message hitting back at Trump's order to start building on the border
- 'The world is a mess. The world is as angry as it gets': Defiant Trump defends his refugee ban and extreme vetting for immigrants from countries with 'tremendous terror'
In his first interview since taking office, President Trump gave glimpses of being humbled by his 'sobering' new responsibilities in between intrepid promises to maintain his campaign vows. Speaking with ABC's David Muir, he went from gently praising the 'beautiful and thoughtful' letter left for him in the Oval Office by Barack Obama to brazenly describing Chicago as being more violent than Afghanistan. Among his admissions was that receiving the nuclear codes was a 'very scary' experience which brought home the enormity of the job. 'When they explain what it represents and the kind of destruction that you're talking about, it is a very sobering moment. It's very, very, very scary in a sense.' Not quite scary enough to keep him up at night, however. 'I have confidence I'll do the right thing, the right job, but it's a very scary thing.' He also spoke about 'horrible' Obamacare, placing a ban on Syrian refugees and how he would implement torture techniques to prevent terror attacks.
