Donald Trump returned to his campaign roots Thursday in his first major public appearance since Election Day, resembling the pugnacious, brawling campaigner more than the traditional president-to-be as he held court in front of thousands of adoring fans – and even announced a Cabinet pick from the stage.

Donald Trump launched into a post-election victory lap Thursday by visiting a company where he claimed credit for saving American jobs, as he warned other United States firms they will face consequences if relocating overseas.

He also insisted President Obama and the Democrats should be “embarrassed” for failing to be pro-active and project strength and leadership like Trump is doing by preventing those jobs from moving to Mexico.
Continuing, Uygur scolded Obama and his party for what he considered their lack of initiative and failure to exercise leverage over corporations such as United Technologies and others that do business with the federal government to protect American factory jobs.
