Trump on his presidency: ‘I would give myself an A+

Washington(ANN)-US President Donald Trump has given his presidency high marks, saying he has shown great performance at the White House despite a “witch hunt” launched by Democrats against him.

“Nobody has done what I’ve been able to do,” he said during an interview on “Fox & Friends” on Thursday. “And I did it despite the fact that I have a phony cloud over my head that doesn’t exist.”

Trump said he would give his work in the White House “an A+”.

The president then blasted the investigation launched by the Justice Department’s Special Counsel Robert Mueller against him, and also slammed Democrats for losing the presidential election to him.

“It was what the Democrats use to try to make an excuse for the loss of the election, for their loss of the Electoral College,” Trump said. “This was an absolute, total beating in the Electoral College.”

The special counsel is investigating Russia’s alleged meddling in the 2016 US presidential election and whether there was any collusion between Moscow and Trump’s election campaign.

Trump has repeatedly denied allegations that his campaign colluded with Russians and has condemned the investigations. Russia has also denied the allegations. Trump has also labeled Mueller’s investigation as a “witch hunt,” and has suggested that Russians might have meddled in favor of Hillary Clinton.

Trump is currently under investigation by Mueller but not as a criminal target, according to a report. That means currently there is not enough evidence to bring criminal charges against the president, the newspaper quoted three anonymous sources as saying.

In addition, Mueller told Trump’s lawyers that he is preparing a report on the president’s actions while in office and possible obstruction of justice, The Washington Post reported last month.
