One thing about it is it will definitely be entertaining. There will be news reported every day about something that Trump has done or tweeted. Many will be upset daily. Whether a person agrees with his policies or not, we are watching history being made for sure.
Trump may not have a political background but he knows how to talk and avoid campaign promises like a politician. His latest involves getting us to pay for his border wall rather than the Mexicans. Is anyone surprised?

In an exclusive interview with CNN, Secret Service Director Joseph Clancy offers a wide-ranging look at the unique logistical challenges of providing security for the President-elect's large family and securing his New York residence.
Clancy pushes back against suggestions his agents are running into conflicts with Donald Trump's private security team. "There is no friction at all," he insists, saying his agency has "Sole responsibility" for protecting the President and the first family. Ref. CNN.
I have had the pleasure of working directly with secret service officers. I can tell you that they are very good at their jobs and that private security has nothing on them. In fact I think that Mr Trumps private security can learn a lot form the Secret service agents and they would be second hand security to the new first family. I tend to believe that the "No friction at all" statement shows that Mr. Trumps private security stepped to the side and listened to the assignments given to them by the secret service agents.
Activists Are Hoping To Turn Trump's Inauguration Into One Of The Biggest Riots In U.S. History:

Another busy day in politics is in full swing, as President-elect Donald Trump holds a long-awaited news conference at Trump Tower in New York and three of his Cabinet choices face sharp questions on Capitol Hill.
Trump’s nominee to be secretary of state, former ExxonMobil CEO Rex Tillerson, is appearing now before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. Tillerson faces questions about his ties to Russia during the time he was leading the international oil giant.
"We must also be clear-eyed about our relationship with Russia," Tillerson told senators. "Russia today poses a danger, but it is not unpredictable in advancing its own interests."
Jeff Sessions, picked to be the next attorney general, enters his second day of questioning and will hear unprecedented testimony from colleague Sen. Cory Booker, a Democrat, against his nomination. Trump’s choice for transportation secretary, Elaine Chao, also has her hearing today.
The President-elect’s news conference, scheduled for 11 a.m. ET, took on new significance following CNN reporting that classified documents included allegations that Russian operatives claim to have compromising personal and financial information about Trump. Ref. CNN.
I really think that the main problem for Trump, during the election, was the mdeia trying to spin anything and everything he said into a negative. Of course, the man was very freely spoken, and said alot of stuf that they never HAD to spin - but the major news networks were opposed to him and if they could have, they would have not covered him AT ALL. His smartest move during the election was doing big things and making big statements so that he could FORCE them to give him air time. In that way he managed to get more coverge for himself than any other candidate did, and he got it all for free. What do y'all think?
