WASHINGTON, Jan 20 (Reuters) - President ‌Donald Trump marked the one‑year anniversary of his return to the White House on Tuesday with a wide-ranging news conference that meandered from crime ‌mugshots and immigration raids to the Nile River, Nobel Peace Prize and biker gangs.

Speaking at the White House briefing room podium, Trump ‌repeatedly veered off message. He mused about the Nile River being in Egypt, joked about renaming the Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of Trump, made demeaning comments about Somali Americans, complained about not getting enough credit for his record and professed admiration for the controversial Hells Angels motorcycle club. "They voted for me," Trump said.
