An audience listening to Donald Trump discuss his first 100 days back in the Oval Office broke out into laughter when the president responded to a question about the biggest mistake he has made so far.

Trump reached the milestone of 100 days as the 47th president on April 29, and marked the occasion with public appearances, interviews and a Truth Social post declaring it '100 very special days'.

As part of the events, the POTUS called in to a NewsNation Town Hall hosted by Chris Cuomo, who was joined by panelists including Bill O’Reilly and Stephen A. Smith, as well as both Democratic and Republican political strategists.

During the conversation, Trump spoke about the implementation of hefty tariffs and insisted that a number of countries were calling the US 'morning, noon and night' to try and establish new trade deals - but when asked about his mistakes, the president struggled with his answer.

Footage from the event shows the hosts reading out an audience question which said: "What's the biggest mistake you think you've made in the first 100 days?"

The question was met with a few moments of silence, followed by Trump saying: "I'll tell you that's the toughest question I can have..."

The audience started to sound a few laughs at this, but it seemed like the whole crowd erupted into laughter as the president continued.

"... because I don't really believe I've made mistakes," he said.

The response from the audience comes as many of Trump's decisions in the first 100 days have sparked controversy, including the admission from his administration that one Maryland father was accidentally deported from the US due to 'administrative error'.

In other words, a mistake.

However, a few claps from members of the audience also suggested there were some listeners who agreed with the POTUS, and all of his actions since returning to the White House.

Explaining his stance, Trump went on to say that the country is in a 'transition period' and will see 'tremendous economic victories' in the future.

He also stood by his decisions, 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."

Trump's response to the question of his mistakes had been somewhat predicted by panellist O’Reilly, who said prior to the event: “You’re never going to get him to admit he made a mistake."
