川普在記者會上捍衛政績批評媒體

Donald Trump used his first solo press conference as president to deliver a broad defense of his turbulent first month in office, denying reports of chaos within the White House and insisting his administration is running “like a fine-tuned machine.”

The press conference, which lasted over 75 minutes, was at turns combative and comical, with Trump alternately joking with and then lecturing the media gathered in the White House East Room.

Trump touted a long list of what he said were accomplishments, including withdrawing the U.S. from the Trans-Pacific Partnership, implementing a federal government hiring freeze, and eliminating government regulations.

“We have made incredible progress,” Trump said. “I don't think there's ever been a president elected who in this short period of time has done what we've done.”

But Trump insisted he could have accomplished more were it not for what he termed the “mess” left by his predecessor, former President Barack Obama. “I inherited a mess. It's a mess. At home and abroad, a mess,” he said.

In what has become a standard part of the president's public appearances, Trump also took aim at the news media, which he accused of downplaying his accomplishments and making up “fake news” in order to damage his administration. “The press honestly is out of control. The level of dishonesty is out of control,” he said.

This week, National Security Advisor Michael Flynn was ousted after it was revealed that he misled White House officials about the nature of his conversations with Russian officials during the presidential transition period.

Trump has also suffered a steady stream of legal setbacks related to his executive order temporarily banning immigration from seven Muslim-majority countries and shutting down the refugee program.

Trump also dismissed news reports suggesting members of his campaign were in touch with Russian officials during the presidential election.

Some U.S. intelligence officials have concluded Russia intervened in the 2016 presidential election, possibly with the intention of helping Trump win. Trump has rejected those claims.美國總統川普在他上任以來首次舉行的個人新聞發佈會上歷數了他第一個月的政績，否認白宮內部出現混亂的報道，並堅持他的政府運作“像一部運轉精準的機器"。

新聞發佈會持續了超過75分鐘，時而充滿火藥味，時而滑稽。川普則邊開玩笑，邊對聚集在白宮東廳的媒體記者們大發議論。

川普歷數他一個月來取得的成就，包括美國從跨太平洋夥伴關係協議撤出，凍結聯邦政府招聘，以及取消一些政府法規等。

川普說，“我們取得了令人難以置信的進步，”他說，“我認爲沒有哪個總統在上任這麼短的時間內做了我們所做的。”

川普堅持認爲，如果不是他的前任總統奧巴馬留下的“爛攤子”，他本可以完成更多的任務。他說，“我接了一個爛攤子，一團糟。國內國外都很糟糕。”
川普還對媒體發難，這似乎已成了他公開露面時不可缺少的一幕。他指責媒體淡化他的成就，製造“假新聞”，以損害他的政府。他說，“媒體老實說已經失控了。不誠實已經到了失控的地步。”

本週，國家安全顧問邁克爾·弗林被曝他在總統過渡期與俄羅斯官員的對話問題上誤導了白宮官員。

川普還遇到了與他的一項行政命令相關的一系列法律挫折。該命令要求暫時禁止來自七個以穆斯林爲主國家的移民，並暫停難民計劃。

川普還否認了有關他的競選團隊成員在大選期間與俄羅斯官員聯繫的新聞報道。

一些美國情報官員已經得出俄羅斯介入美國2016年總統大選的結論，認爲俄羅斯這樣做可能是有意幫助川普勝選。川普否認了這樣的說法。
