The democrats and republican establishments hate Trump. He threatens them lining their pockets. They will attack him no matter what he does. I wasn't a Trump supporter by any means but the establishment of both parties needs to be cleaned out. Way too much corruption in Washington D.C.

Suffolk Poll: Trump has not yet made progress in uniting USA
As Inauguration Day approaches, Donald Trump has made little progress in uniting a divided nation or reassuring the voters who didn't support him in November, a USA TODAY/Suffolk University Poll finds. Instead, a majority of Americans, including one in five Trump voters, say the president-elect hasn't done enough to prevent conflicts between his business interests and the nation's interests. And by nearly 2-1, those surveyed say the incoming administration should investigate whether Russia tried to meddle in the American election, a conclusion by U.S. Intelligence agencies that Trump initially dismissed.

President-elect Donald Trump has appointed Republican National Committee Communications Director Sean Spicer to serve as White House press secretary, Trump's transition team has announced.
At the same time, the transition team said that Trump spokeswoman Hope Hicks will become director of strategic communications, Jason Miller, a top spokesman on Trump's presidential campaign, will be director of communications, and Trump social media guru Dan Scavino will be director of social media.
"Sean, Hope, Jason and Dan have been key members of my team during the campaign and transition. I am excited they will be leading the team that will communicate my agenda that will Make America Great Again," Trump said in a statement. Ref. CNN.
The way Trump is acting is as if he is still in the pre-election stage. He has not woken up to decorum yet and I doubt he will on the 20th either. People better watch out, the man keeps some serious grudges and has his own attorney general.
