After promising to be “a president for all Americans” and calling for unity, President-elect Donald Trump returned to his usual theatrics at a rally in Ohio on Thursday night. His supporters chanted “Build the wall” and “Lock her up,” he attacked “the very dishonest media,” he mocked protesters and he slammed Ohio’s own Republican Gov. John Kasich.
At the kick-off of his “Donald J. Trump USA Thank You Tour 2016,” Trump frequently strayed from prewritten remarks on the teleprompters.
He touted a promise to “bring our country together.” However, when he addressed his campaign promise to build a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border, he did not stop his supporters when they responded with “Build the wall!” — even though reports have documented a spike in hate crimes against immigrants since Election Day.
