Trump takes questions on TikTok, Hegseth, drones, vaccines, RFK Jr. and more

President-elect Donald Trump took questions on several subjects Monday at Mar-a-Lago, speaking about the drone sightings that have been reported in several states, the vaccine views of his pick for HHS secretary and more. CBS News political director Fin Gómez had analysis of the press conference afterward.

He sounds a lot more presidential this term. A lot better spoken. Even when rebuking that one journalist he did it civilly

Great to see a President who will stand and answer legitimate questions for the public. ❤

That was an awesome press conference and holy crap CBS news way to go I’m suprised you didn’t try to edit anything. You just gave us the raw footage for the populace to educate themselves. You acted like a “media”… a “med” a “middleman” between the power source and the people. Holy crap who would have thought. Keep doing that, and nothing else. Thanks.

Imagine this list of questions being asked to any other President...

Mr. Trump.. I am so proud of your victory. You spoke about Middle man.. I see this country has many many middle men’s for different departments like car insurance, medical insurance, immigration and many.. Middle men’s making huge money..

President Trump sounds so much better this term. He's learned and grown and is very presidential. Thank you President Trump...

Why does Biden never do these type
of press conferences?
He has NEVER stood there for an hour
taking questions from the media like
President Trump and every previous
President always did on a regular
basis, WHY?

This is what real leadership looks like. Considering what we have been subjected to over the past 4 years, many people have forgotten.

WOW it was great watching a President speaking today who made Sense without a Teleprompter today!!

[RikAbramss]

And I can't believe anybody didn't want to vote for Trump he is the only one that answers questions and knows what he's talking about and he's proof positive so what more would you want from a president he is the right candidate for the job and that's what our country needs

[WisdomInternalized]

I laughed right when I heard the second questions about preemptive strikes against Iran. Like, you really expect him to answer that, lol.

Ask Morning Joe about his conversation with RFK Jr years ago and autism

[anthonyafonso]

You have a President. Not a Press secretary. Well Done America

[ruiegao]

No presidents in the last 20yrs had done such interview with press, you can see why people should love Trump.

Young people are waking up to the truth

[markhyman]

He hasn't neen inaugurated yet as and is out here meeting world leaders. The U.S. press has given him soo much validation. One President at a time.

[reilorenzo]

I'm not a Trump guy but he does seem so much more poised this time around. I hope he does right by the Nation... that's all I care about.
