Trump moves to quickly fill his top Cabinet ranks

North Dakota Senator Heidi Heitkamp was among invitees to Trump Tower in NY this week, and news of a meeting between her and Trump on Fridayaroused immediate speculation that she might be a candidate for a position such as energy secretary.

Donald Trump will be inaugurated on January 20, 2017.

Coming off his first public appearance since Election Day – a campaign-style rally in the swing state of Ohio – President-elect Donald Trump began a low-key weekend Friday by assessing high-profile security and diplomatic jobs.

McMullin, a former Central Intelligence Agency operative and BYU graduate, continued a barrage of tweets aimed at Trump on Friday, saying, “You’re willing to attack me and others, but still afraid to say my name?”

In one instance, Clinton’s former communications director, Jennifer Palmeiri, told Trump campaign manager Kellyanne Conway: “If providing a platform for white supremacists makes me a brilliant tactician, I am proud to have lost”.

In April, Donald Trump pledged “at some point, I’ll be so presidential that you people will be so bored”.

Trump is also expected to meet Friday with former United Nations ambassador John Bolton, who has been mentioned for the State Department. That’s not changing, but how he brings the country together with his feet firmly still in campaign mode, is what he and his team have to figure out going forward. Trump blamed the gridlock for his smaller than expected audience.

Trump has narrowed the field for secretary of state to four candidates, including the 2012 Republican presidential nominee, Mitt Romney, who had attacked him throughout the 2016 campaign but spoke glowingly of the president-elect after having dinner with him earlier this week.

The president-elect said he was going to fight the forces in Washington that for too long have divided citizens and pitted them against each other based on age, race, sex and income.

But, Trump repeatedly reminded his crowd, he still won – even though he claims the media was against him.

Trump reminded supporters that they helped him bust through the “Blue Wall” of longtime Democratic states like Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and MI.

During what seems like an exceedingly awkward, ill-timed event at Harvard last night, Corey Lewandowski, Donald Trump’s former campaign manager, dropped a revealing tidbit, accusing the media of failing in his coverage because they took Trump’s proposals “literally”. We shattered that sucker. “That poor wall is busted up”. “Civilian control of our military is a fundamental principle of American democracy, and I will not vote for an exception to this rule”, she said.

“The incoming Trump-Pence administration has emphasized to us its commitment to support the business community and create an improved, more competitive USA business climate”, the company said in a statement Wednesday.

But he was distracted by a man in the crowd, stopping mid-sentence to say: “He’s a believer”. It would be easier if you helped, but that’s all right.

Trump told the crowd it is “an exciting time to be alive” and that “the script is not yet written”.

Trump added that Mattis told him, “Give me a pack of cigarettes and a couple of beers and I’ll do better”.

He thanked OH, “an incredible place”. Trump went on to boast of his win in the electoral college, but not the popular vote: “We won in a landslide”.

“We’re getting credit for having one of the great cabinets ever picked”, Trump said on Fox.

Chaffetz says Trump “needs time to get his affairs in order”.
