President Donald Trump after speaking at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Oxon Hill, Maryland, on Friday. REUTERS/Kevin Lamarque President Donald Trump says he would give himself an "A+" for effort during his presidency but only a "C or C+" for messaging.

During an interview with "Fox and Friends" that aired Tuesday morning, host Ainsley Earhardt asked Trump how he would grade himself, "from an A to an F."

Trump said he would give himself an A+ for effort "but results are more important."

To that end, the president said he would give himself an A for achievement but only a C or C+ for messaging.

"I think I've done great things, but I don't think I — I and my people — I don't think we've explained it well enough to the American public," Trump said.

The Washington Post notes that Trump singled out immigration enforcement as a policy that could be explained better.

"No, I don't think it's been — maybe it's my fault,” Trump said, according to The Washington Post. "But, you know, when they show people being taken out, these are people that are — we're looking at the bad ones."

The president is set to give an address to a joint session of Congress on Tuesday.
