Trump grades his presidency so far: 'I would honestly give myself an A+'

President Trump has decided he's at the top of his class.

Just as Trump likes to let people think he graduated first in his class from Wharton Business School — he did not — he also believes he'd get high marks for his presidency. In an interview with Fox & Friends' Ainsley Earhardt, broadcast Thursday, Trump gave himself a stellar review when asked what grade he'd earned during his time in office.

"I would honestly give myself an A+," he said. "I don't think any president has ever done what I've done." To explain the evaluation, Trump cited the "biggest tax cuts in history," though the GOP bill in 2017 was the 8th-largest tax cut, and the "soon to be two unbelievable Supreme Court justices." Trump said he's "sure" that nominee Brett Kavanaugh will be approved, though the judge is facing some resistance from Congress.
