GREENVALE, N.Y. (AP) — Not yet even in office, Donald Trump said Thursday he’s already accomplished more than President Joe Biden did in his entire term, an outsized claim by the president-elect just a month out from the election.
Trump, who has been largely ensconced at his Mar-a-Lago club in recent weeks as he’s worked to staff his new administration, made the comment as he ventured to New York’s Long Island to be honored as part of Fox Nation’s annual Patriot Awards on Fox’s streaming platform.
“I think you have seen more happen in the last two weeks than you have in the last four years,” Trump told the crowd at the Tilles Center for the Performing Arts.
“It was a tremendous day, a tremendous night,” he said, recalling his election victory in a 10-minute acceptance speech that sounded like a highlight reel of his campaign rally speeches. It came complete with a live performance of “God Bless the USA” by the singer Lee Greenwood, calls to “get the criminals out of our country” and an embrace of all-paper election ballots and mandatory voter ID.
Trump also pointed to the conversations he’s had with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum since he threatened two of the country’s top trading partners with a 25% tariff on all imported goods unless they do more to tackle illegal border crossings and drug flows.

Thank you very much and God bless you.
Oddly enough, this seems to have slipped through the news cycle. If it's already been posted, my apologies, but I hadn't seen any reporting on it. President-elect Donald Trump received the Patriot Of The Year award from Fox Nation this past Thursday. The ceremony was held at a venue in Long Island. A video of Trump's acceptance speech can be found here:
