Hillary Clinton Now Leading Donald Trump By More Than Two Million Votes
Mr. Trump, who branded his opponent’ Crooked Hillary’ and said she would go to prison if he were president, said in an interview with reporters and editors according to the New York Times.
President-elect Donald Trump will not push for further investigation of Hillary Clinton related to her private email use and the Clinton Foundation, a close adviser said Tuesday, breaking with a key campaign theme.
Trump said in an interview with CBS after the election that prosecuting Clinton would not be a priority. In July, after a year-long investigation, the FBI concluded that charges against Clinton were not warranted, saying agents had not found any evidence that Clinton knowingly sent or received classified information on the server.
As Clinton’s popular vote lead increases, so do the calls for the abolishment of the Electoral College, which allowed Trump to win the presidency despite Clinton receiving the most votes nationwide. “Let’s move forward in making America great again”. And I don’t want to hurt the Clintons. I think that’s the genius of the Electoral College.
According to Reuters news agency, a source on Trump’s transition team said earlier this month that the NY businessman was seeking quick ways to withdraw the United States from the 2015 Paris Agreement to combat climate change.
In 2012, even though Barack Obama won nearly 5 million more popular votes than Mitt Romney, Trump tweeted, “The electoral college is a disaster for a democracy”. “My company’s so unimportant to me relative to what I’m doing”, Trump said. “There is some, something. And I want to focus on – all of these other things that we’ve been talking about”. “To all Republicans and Democrats and independents across this nation, I say it is time for us to come together as one united people”. When asked if he spoke to British politician Nigel Farage about opposing offshoring wind farms that he anxious would reduce the value of his Scottish golf courses, Trump said that he “might have brought it up”.
Trump now: He now seems to be changing his mind after talking with retired Gen. James Mattis, a leading candidate to become secretary of defense.
He said: “The founding fathers created the electoral college as the last line of defence”.
“I like those very much”, he said of those provisions. “I’m so personally offended by so much of what, he does”, Blow added, but noted it was also an issue of first amendment rights and artistic expression.
