President Donald Trump claimed Thursday he has made "incredible" progress in fulfilling many campaign promises since taking office only four weeks ago.

In his first solo press conference as president , Trump touted a list of accomplishments he said the White House has made, bypassing what he called the "dishonest" media.

Here's Trump's list:

  • Hiring freeze on nonessential federal workers

  • The stock market has hit record numbers

  • Imposed temporary moratorium and new federal regulations

  • Has stood up for men and women in law enforcement, including implementing a task force.

  • A plan to destroy criminal cartels

  • Extreme vetting

  • A plan to build a wall along the Mexican border

  • A "crackdown" on sanctuary cities refusing to comply with federal law

  • Negotiated and saved money on U.S. contracts

  • Withdrew "from the job-killing disaster known as TPP"

  • Eliminated regulations for manufacturers

  • U.S. approval rating is at 55 percent and "going up."

  • A surge in optimism, particularly in the business world

  • American plants and factories moving back into U.S.

  • Productive conversations with world leaders

  • A plan in progress to defeat ISIS

The list of undone promises includes infrastructure improvements, health care reform, a tax overhaul. Trump said last week he plans to make a "phenomenal" tax announcement in a few weeks.
