He said: "Our administration inherited many problems across government, and across the economy. To be honest, I inherited a mess.

"It's a mess. At home, and abroad. A mess."

He promised to "take care of it" but returned once again to his apocalyptic tone.

He said: "Low pay, low wages. Mass instability overseas, no matter where you look. The Middle East, a disaster. North Korea — we'll take care of it, folks.

"We're going to take care of it all. I just wanted to let you know, I inherited a mess."

Donald Trump was elected the 45th president of the United States after Hillary Clinton called him to concede defeat.
