Donald Trump has declared that he has had “the most successful first year in the history of the presidency” – and finally admitted he has a bald patch.finally

Speaking at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) on Friday, the US President also drew attention to his own bald spot in what many described as a “freewheeling” speech.

Before launching into the speech, Mr Trump admired himself on the big screen, telling the audience: “What a nice picture that is. Look at that. I would love to watch that guy speak.”

He went on to draw attention to his hairline, saying: “Oh, boy. Oh, I try like hell to hide that bald spot, folks. I work hard at it. Doesn’t look bad. Hey, we’re hanging in. We’re hanging in. We’re hanging in there, right? Together we’re hanging in.”

After declaring that some of his prepared comments were “sort of boring”, the President launched into a speech that included praise of his own first year as President, citing tax cuts and changed to regulations as some of his major achievements.

He also spoke about immigration and his promised “Mexico wall” as well as launching an attack on the Democrats and Hillary Clinton and quoting “the snake” poem that he often read on the campaign trail during the 2016 presidential race.
