President Trump

Lock her up? Maybe not so much, Giuliani and Christie say

"I think it's a tough decision," Giuliani told CNN's Chris Cuomo on "New Day." "I think it's a tough one that should be given a lot of thought and shouldn't be an off-the-cuff answer. Equal administration of justice is one of our most important principles."

He added: "It's been a tradition in our politics to put things behind us. On the other hand, you have to look at how bad was it? Because suppose somebody comes along a year from now and is alleged to have stolen $50,000 from a charity -- and (Clinton) was never investigated for hundreds of millions."

Protesters target Trump buildings in massive street rallies

"Not my president," protesters chanted in rallies coast to coast.

Tens of thousands filled the streets in at least 25 US cities overnight -- with demonstrations outside Trump's properties.

While most protesters were peaceful, dozens were arrested. At least three officers were wounded. And about 40 fires were set in one California city.

Was it Facebook 'wot won it'?

So seriously, in fact, that they can come across as rather pompous to a British reader. When it comes to a presidential election they seem to believe that their endorsements are of huge significance and that their words will be weighed with utmost seriousness by their readers.

Well now we know how wrong that is because just about every major newspaper either backed Hillary Clinton or at least failed to endorse Donald Trump - and that went for papers who had faithfully swung behind Republican candidates in the past.

Market rally continues as investors shrug off Trump worries

Hopes that Mr Trump will introduce a pro-business agenda to stimulate US economic growth helped to blunt concerns about his surprise win.

In the US, the futures index suggested that Wall Street would open later almost 1% up.

Obama on Trump: 'We are now all rooting for his success'

This is to the man he's spent the last year denigrating, insisting that despite his differences with President-elect Donald Trump he would uphold the central tenet of American democracy.
