Jon Stewart Asks Donald Trump ‘What Makes Amerca Great?’
“One of the things that I think struck me as odd about this election was…nobody asked Donald Trump what makes America great.” Being that Trump’s central theme was returning America to this mythical time of unsurpassed greatness, it would have been helpful if Trump illustrated what he really means.

Donald Trump Demands Apology After Comments From ‘Hamilton’ Cast
Also on Twitter Saturday morning, Mr. Trump weighed in on all the buzz about Vice President-elect Mike Pence’s attendance at the musical “Hamilton” in New York on Friday evening. Mr. Pence arrived at the famous production but was greeted with boos, and the cast addressed him after the performance from the stage.
Mr. Trump blasted the actors, saying Mr. Pence “was harrassed last night at the theater by the cast of Hamilton, cameras blazing. This should not happen!” A few minutes later, he demanded the Hamilton cast apologize to Mr. Pence: “The cast of Hamilton was very rude last night to a very good man, Mike Pence. Apologize!”
Apparently in Trump’s America freedom of speech applies only to him.

LAPD will not help deport immigrants under Trump, chief says
Los Angeles Police Chief Charlie Beck said Monday that he has no plans to change the LAPD ’s stance on immigration enforcement, despite President-elect Donald Trump ’s pledge to toughen federal immigration laws and deport millions of people upon taking office.
...“I don’t intend on doing anything different,” he said. “We are not going to engage in law enforcement activities solely based on somebody’s immigration status. We are not going to work in conjunction with Homeland Security on deportation efforts. That is not our job, nor will I make it our job.”

BREAKING: Trump Requests Security Clearances for His Children – Who Will Be Running His ‘Blind’ Trust
Donald Trump’s attorney has gone on record saying the president-elect’s three adult children will be running all of Trump’s businesses in what Trump is calling a “blind trust,” even though, by definition, that is not a blind trust.
Late last week many analysts expressed concern over that arrangement, which was then compounded when it Trump announced that his three adult children …would be part of the Trump administration’s transition team. …responsible for hiring decisions of the estimated 4000 people that comprise the White House team, including 1000 who will require congressional approval. The transition team is also responsible for establishing policy initiatives and even strategy.
…NBC News reports that President-elect Trump has now “asked about” security clearances for his three children.
