Health, jobs and immigration are among Donald Trump’s early pledges as president-elect

The paper obtained an early copy of the book, due out November 15, in which Kelly writes that before the debate in August 2015, Trump called Fox News executives to say he heard Kelly’s first question was to be a “very pointed question directed at him”.

Trump then traveled to Capitol Hill to meet Republican leaders who had been at best cool to him winning their party’s nomination.

People protest against Republican president-elect Donald Trump in the neighborhood of Manhattan in New York, US, November 9, 2016.

“As far as I’m concerned, it could have lasted a lot longer”, Trump said. Obama and Trump met privately without any staff in the room.

Trump was also beginning the process of putting together his White House team. “There is no reason Trump should be president”, it says.

When asked whether he would seek the advice of Bill Clinton, Trump said “I would certainly think about that”.

Clinton was on top among voters reporting under $50,000 in total family income for 2015, while voters making more than $100,000 backed Trump by about 6 of 10 voters.

While Trump and Obama met inside, a small crowd was gathering outside of the White House.

Trump posted his response to the manifestations on Twitter, calling them “very unfair”, suggesting that those voicing their discontent were not genuine but “professional protesters, incited by the media”.

Here’s the real kicker for Democrats: compare Trump’s column in the chart above with Obama’s column. And we’re looking at jobs. The peaceful transition of power is one of the hallmarks of our democracy.

“Initially, I accepted his election but yesterday when I saw Hillary’s concession speech, I couldn’t avoid crying”, Daisy Rivera, 24, told AFP of the Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton.

Mr Trump choice of his transition chairman was his biggest staffing announcement since he won the election. “It adds cost but it’s very much something we’re going to try to keep”, he said.

“We’re going to do it simultaneously”.

Trump has vowed to overturn many of what Obama sees as his achievements over the past eight years, including the Affordable Care Act or Obamacare.

Ryan took Trump on a tour of the Speaker’s Balcony overlooking the National Mall, the scene of Trump’s upcoming inauguration. He will begin occupying the office on January 20. The White House, for example, did not arrange for the traditional photo op between the current first couple and the incoming one.

And if the president-elect fulfils his campaign promises, he will unravel nearly all of Obama’s signature achievements.

During the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner that year, Obama lit into Trump, mocking him before a ballroom of 2,000 guests and on live television.

Trump would need action at the United Nations Security Council to fully abrogate the Iran deal, but he could work with Congress to put new unilateral binds on the deal that could make it increasingly unworkable or provoke the Iranians to take their own steps. All of this behavior was “bizarre”, she said, “especially for a man who wanted the nuclear codes”.

The tension was palpable as Obama praised Trump saying he was “encouraged” by the divisive billionaire’s interest in working with his team during their “wide-ranging” chat. MI and New Hampshire remain too close to call. As she said on Wednesday, “Let us have faith in each other”.

A third person said conservative media executive Steve Bannon was also in the mix, though others insisted Bannon would not have a White House role. He was taking the baton; he’s handing it off.

“I think it was an important polling miss”. Since the end of World War II, only Dwight Eisenhower and Bill Clinton, in 1960 and 2000, respectively, held higher approval ratings at their end of their terms than Obama does now. “That’s not what you’d want on your plate the first year of a presidency”.

More than 1,000 people gathered in Miami, with weekend protests planned in at least half a dozen cities. “I can’t believe we have that racist, xenophobic, misogynist elected president”.
