That included the more than 1,500 pardons he issued to people for crimes related to the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol, and the dozens of people involved in the conspiracy to overturn the 2020 election.

Trump gave a more than 80-minute monologue during the White House press briefing to mark the anniversary of his first year in office.

The panel on CNN's "The Arena" with Kasie Hunt gave President Donald Trump poor marks for his speech on Tuesday.

Trump spoke at the White House press briefing for about 80 minutes before taking questions from reporters, meandering through topics ranging from foreign policy to being allegedly snubbed for the Nobel Peace Prize. Trump appeared to use the time to spread his campaign messaging ahead of the midterm election, according to CNN analysts, but he delivered the speech in such a "low-energy" way that he seemed to resemble how he described his predecessor.
