Donald Trump spent the past two years attacking rival Hillary Clinton as crooked, corrupt, and weak. But some of those attacks seem to have already slipped into the history books. From installing Wall Street executives in his Cabinet to avoiding news conferences, the president-elect is adopting some of the same behavior for which he criticized Clinton during their fiery presidential campaign. Here's a look at what Trump said then — and what he's doing now: http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/wireStory/trump-exhibiting-clinton-behavior-president-elect-44391558 |

One thing Trump has not copied from Hillary is he has not received hundreds of millions from foreign nobility and foreign governments for his foundation, without Congressional approval...That partly explains why she , as a public official, was called crooked Hillary...............

Trump rewards big donors with jobs and access Contributors who met with Trump gave about $59 million in support of his campaign and other Republicans, averaging more than $800,000 per donor. More than a third of the almost 200 people who have met with President-elect Donald Trump since his election last month, including those interviewing for administration jobs, gave large amounts of money to support his campaign and other Republicans this election cycle. Together the 73 donors contributed $1.7 million to Trump and groups supporting him, according to a POLITICO analysis of Federal Election Commission records, and $57.3 million to the rest of the party, averaging more than $800,000 per donor.More than a third of the almost 200 people who have met with President-elect Donald Trump since his election last month, including those interviewing for administration jobs, gave large amounts of money to support his campaign and other Republicans this election cycle. http://www.politico.com/story/2016/12/donald-trump-donors-rewards-232974 |

Trump probably cares more about the skid marks on his underwear than he does of you. |

Literally nothing. Let me know when he completely destroys 3-4 middle eastern countries, or embezzles money from dictators in return for favors. |

BTW Esto...did u know the Presidents of ABC and CBS News Both Have Siblings Working at White House? or that CNN deputy bureau chief, Virginia Moseley, is married to Hillary Clinton’s deputy, Tom Nides? and “Meet the Press” host Chuck Todd and his wife, a Democratic consultant, hosted a dinner party at their Washington D.C.-area home last year for Jennifer Palmieri, Hillary Clinton’s communications director? or that Obama White House press secretary Jay Carney’s wife is Claire Shipman, a veteran reporter for ABC. and NPR’s White House correspondent, Ari Shapiro, is married to a lawyer, Michael Gottlieb, who joined the White House counsel’s office in April. plus The Post‘s Justice Department reporter, Sari Horwitz, is married to William B. Schultz, the general counsel of the Department of Human Services. or [VP] Biden’s current communications director, Shailagh Murray (a former Post congressional reporter), is married to Neil King, one of the Wall Street Journal‘s top political reporters. Doesn't incest lead to offspring with lower IQ's? |

No, he just misused his foundation to pad his own personal lifestyle which is why his foundation is being investigated in NY state. Of course the donations to the Clinton Foundation were not illegal, a fact that Trump ignored when he came up with his pet nickname for Hillary. Last I checked, donations to private foundations do not require Congress' approval so I'm not sure what warped thought you were having there. |

The founding fathers saw the President as the natural leader of the oligarchy which ran the new government. Their avatar was George Washington, a military leader under whom a number of them had served during the Revolutionary War and whom all of them knew him personally as a worshipped peer and respected colleague. Washington was also the richest man in America. Much of special power of our President as military commander-in-chief derives from the personal experiences of the founding fathers with General Washington. This is something that echoes in the Kim family of North Korea or Mao in China. The current political setup could not be further from those first days. Trump has never been elected to anything, much less won victory as the Simón Bolívar of the American colonies. Allegiance to Trump is allegiance to a popular TV star, a symbolic image on the screen who excites passion and allegiance more as an icon than as a flesh-and-blood politician with a track record in public life. It is difficult for most of us to accept, but understanding Trump means understanding that he is a scripted character on the TV screen and on social media. The gap between Donald Trump and George Washington is unbridgeable, as indeed it should be. Like the folks in Plato's myth of the cave, we are watching shadows on a screen. We can't change that but we need to be conscious of that is what our political life has become. |

I think I answered it just fine. You however, are being deliberately obtuse but hey, I will humor you By doing the same things he criticized Clinton for..it makes him a liar and hypocrite. If he is waffling already, its a good chance he will renege on his pillow talk about other campain promises..like your lower tax hopes. |

You are basing this all off of fake news sources....insanely biased ones at that.... Claire Shipman, a senior national correspondent at ABC News, is married to no other than Jay Carney, the Obama White House former Press Secretary. If those ties between the Obama White House and ABC News aren’t disturbing enough, the president of ABC News, Ben Sherwood, is brother to Dr. Elizabeth Sherwood-Randall, a special advisor to Barack Obama. Forgive us if we don't take your sources as gospel or buy their narratives.....
