During a recent Town Hall, Donald Trump got asked a pretty simple question, but his answer stole the show. It happened while he was out marking his first 100 days back in the White House. And the whole moment turned into something people couldn’t stop talking about.
Trump hit the 100-day mark as the 47th president on April 29
He made sure to show up and talk about it. He did a few interviews, popped into some events, and of course, posted on Truth Social saying it was “100 very special days.”

He joined a town hall hosted by Chris Cuomo
One of the main things he did was call into a Town Hall on NewsNation, hosted by Chris Cuomo. The panel was packed. Bill O’Reilly was there, Stephen A. Smith, plus some strategists from both parties.
Trump talked about countries calling nonstop
During the chat, Trump brought up tariffs. Said they were big and working. He also claimed other countries were hitting up the U.S. pretty much all day—“morning, noon, and night”—trying to make deals.
Then it got interesting
Someone straight-up asked him what his biggest mistake was in these 100 days.
The silence and laughter followed quickly
There was a little pause after the question. Then Trump goes, “I’ll tell you that’s the toughest question I can have because I don’t really believe I’ve made mistakes,” he said.
That’s what really set the crowd off—he kept going and said he doesn’t think he’s made any mistakes.
His answer came after real-world controversy
The timing was kind of awkward too, because around the same time, there was backlash over one of his administration’s mess-ups, having deported a Maryland dad by accident. Called it an “administrative error.” A mistake.
Some people in the crowd applauded his answer
Still, not everyone laughed. Some people in the audience actually clapped. Looked like a few were on board with what he was saying and had his back.
But, of course, Trump doubled down and defended his actions
Trump wasn’t backing down, though. He said the U.S. was in a “transition period” and that big economic wins were coming soon. Then he went full force, saying:
“We have to have fair trade. We’re losing billions and billions of dollars, hundreds of billions of dollars. And it’s not fair, and it’s time for the American people to be properly protected by somebody that knows what he’s doing. And I know what I’m doing perfectly.”
O’Reilly had predicted he wouldn’t admit fault
Funny thing, O’Reilly sort of called it before it even happened. He said, “You’re never going to get him to admit he made a mistake.” And that’s exactly what went down.
