Trump on ’60 Minutes’: No Vacations, $1 Salary
President-elect Donald Trump, along with his family, stopped by 60 Minutes for an interview with CBS’ Lesley Stahl, on Sunday (Nov. 13). “They’re going to be very pro-Second Amendment”, Trump said.
President-elect Donald Trump said the three main policy issues he would like to tackle first are healthcare, immigration and “a major tax bill lowering taxes in this country”.
Mr. Trump said he would take a call on the fate of the rest of the illegal immigrants after the border is secured.
Trump also said he stood by his pledge to build a wall on the Mexican border – although he said it could include some fencing.
The US’ border with Mexico is approximately 2,000 miles long, much of it desert, and in some areas walls and fences have been built. Trump said. “That’s not a big deal for me”.
“If it ever were overturned, it would go back to the states”, Trump said.
The plan for a wall along the USA border with Mexico is Trump’s new facet in immigration policy. Speaker of the House Paul Ryan appeared to refute this point during an interview that aired earlier on Sunday, telling CNN’s State of the Union the US will not be “erecting a deportation force”.
“She did some bad things, I mean she did some bad things”, Trump said, to which Stahl responded, “I know, but a special prosecutor?” “I don’t want to hurt them”.
‘I don’t want to hurt them (the Clintons).
Trump also alluded to President Obama’s executive actions, which allowed so-called “dreamers”, people brought across the border as kids and some of their parents, to stay in the US without fear of deportation.
“I think I have to by law take Dollars 1, so I’ll take USD 1 a year”.
Trump also commented about the recent violence across the country after the election when tens of thousands of people have marched against him for five consecutive days, and in some 30, in the “Not my President” anti-Trump protest. “But certainly, don’t be afraid”.
