Carrier, the airconditioning company that had been slated to send 2,000 jobs to mexico, trump said that if he was elected president , he would get the jobs back. After days of negotiating, trump and his Vice President elect mike pence, pence still the governor of indiana, they have hammered out a deal where carrier is announcing they will keep about half of those jobs. But donald trump says thats just the beginning. They say its not president ial to call up these massive leaders of business. I think its very president ial. If its not president ial, thats okay. Thats okay. Because i actually like doing it. But were going to have a lot of great people that can also do it and do it as well as i do it.

A deluge of social media and private coms. Some trump loyalists warn against romney for secretary of state and Newt Gingrich and Mike Huckabee trashing romney as a pick and say you need to pick somebody to take a bullet for you, not put a bullet in you, alluding to mitt romneys blistering speech he gave over the primary.
