Trump to a divided America: ‘Don’t be afraid’

President♐-elect Donald Trump said Sunday that Americans have nothing to fear from his incoming adminis💦tration.

“I would tell them don’t be afraid, absolutely,” Trump when asked about the thousands of protesters from coast to coast who have taken to the streets since heꩵ became president-elect.

The wide-ranging interview, taped Friday in ᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚhis Trump Tower penthouse, mar🀅ked Trump’s first televised sit-down since his surprise victory over Hillary Clinton.

Topics ranged f🍷rom the social divisions exposed by their bitter race to Trump’s willingness to walk back some of his more incendiary campaign promises and his shock at winning the White House.

Trump admit🧜ted that while his family was high-fiving over the Election Day returns, he was left nearly speechless by his poll-defying win.

“I realized thဣat this is 🐼a whole different life for me now,” the billionaire builder and reality TV star said.

“I’ve done a lot of big things, I’ve never☂ done anything like this. It is — it is so big, it is so ꧃— it’s so enormous, it’s so amazing.”

Trump said he was surprised to hear about reports that his supporters had harassed blacks, Hispanics, Muslims and gays, was “very surprised to hear that … because I’m trying to bring this country together.”

“I am so saddened to hear that,” he said.

“And I say, ‘Stop it.’ If it — if it helps. I will say this, and I will say right to the cameras: ‘Stop it.’”

Pressed about how “African-Americans think there’s a target on their back” and “Muslims are terrified,” Trump said: “I think it’s horrible if that’s happening.”

‘I realized that this is a whole different life for me now.’

 But he added: “𓃲I think it’s built up by the press because,💦 frankly, they’ll take every single little incident that they can find in this country, which could’ve been there before.”

He also expressed disappointment that the LGBTQ community was expressing fear💞s over his election.

“And yet I mentioned them at the Republican Nation🍌al Convention,” he said.

“Everybod♈y said,🌃 ‘That was so great.’ I have been — you know, I’ve been — a supporter.”

On one of his signature campaign issues — his repeated promise to build a “big, beautiful wall” along the southern border with Mexico — Trump said some parts might actually be a fence.

“But ce👍rtain areas, a wall is more appropriate. I’m very good at this, it’s called construction,” he said.

And despite his vow to “drain the swamp” in Washington, Trump said that while he wants to get rid of “lobbyists and special🍸 interests,” his transition team is stacked with them because “that’s the only people you have down there.”

“I’m saying that they know the syꦡstem right now, but we’re going to phase that out,” he said.

Trump reiterated his plan to impose term limits o𓂃n members of Congress and prevent them from later becoming lobbyists, and 𓆏said one of his “very important” first steps — and a priority to the GOP-led Congress — would be to quickly appoint a Supreme Court justice to succeed the late Justice Antonin Scalia.

Trump said all his judges “will be pro-life” and “very pro-Second Ame♏ndment.” When pressed on the possible reversal of Roe v. Wade, he said the issue “would go back to the states” and that women seeking abortions may “have to go to another state🧸.”

Asked if that was OK, he said: “Well, we’ll see what happens. It’s 🔯got a long way to go, just so you understand. That has a long, long way to go.”

But in a break with social conservatives, Trump als𒐪o said that gay marriage “was settled in the Supreme Court” and should stand as the law of the land.

“It’s done,” Trump said. “These cases have gone to the Supreme Cou🎉rt. They’ve been settled. And I’m fine with that.”

Trump, who’s famed as a jet-setter with his lavish, gold-trimmed penthouse and sprawling Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Fla., said he wasn’t planning on much leisure time while 🌳in office.

“We’re lowᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚering taxes, we’re taking care of health care. I mean, there’s just so much to be done. So I don’t think we’ll be very big on vacations, no.”

He also repeﷺated his pledge to forgo the $400,000 annual presidential pay in favor o༺f a measly $1.

“I’m not going to take the salarꦓy. I’m not taking it,” Trump said.

In a reversal of campaign-trail criticism, Trump heaped praise on the quality of US military leadership, saying: “We have some great generals. We have great ge⛄nerals.”

But when pressed about his previous claims that he knew more th𝔉an the generals about ISIS, he said: “I’ll be honest with you, I probably 💮do because look at the job they’ve done.”

He refused to divulge any detꦕails of his plans to destroy ISIS, saying, “I don’t want to tell them anything. I don’t want𒈔 to tell anybody anything.”

Trump also insisted that he’d prefer to get rid of the Electoral College system, even though it will make him the 45th commander-in-chief despite losing the popular vote💦 to Clinton.

“I’m not going to change my mind just because I won,” Trump said. “But I would rather see it where you went with simple votes. You know𒈔, 𝐆you get 100 million votes and somebody else gets 90 million votes and you win.”

As for the man Clinton believes cost her the election, Trump wouldn’t say if he’ll seek the resignation of FBI Director James Comey, who revived the probe🀅 of her email scandal 11 days ahead of the election, only to clear her again three days before polls ope𒐪ned.

“He may have had very good reasons for doing what he did,” Trump said. “This is a tough time for him. And I would like to t🐷alk to him before I’d answer a question like that.”
