President-elect Donald Trump greeted Sunday with a pair of early morning tweets, when shortly after 9am he said that Democrats are “most angry that so many Obama Democrats voted for me.” He followed up by saying that “with all of the jobs I am bringing back to our Nation, that number will only get higher.”
Meanwhile, in response to the latest Trump confrontation with Democratic lawmaker John Lewis, a growing number of Democrats will boycott Trump’s inauguration. So far, at least 19 Democrats have announced they won’t attend the Jan. 20 ceremony.
On Sunday, John Lewis said in an interview with NBC’s Chuck Todd that it would be “almost impossible” for him to work with the President-elect Donald Trump after he takes office. “It’s going to be very hard and very difficult. Almost impossible for me to work with him,” Lewis, a prominent civil rights leader in the 1960s, said.
Todd questioned Lewis about a scenario where Trump called him up and asked to consider working with him. “I would say, ‘Mr. President, Mr. Trump, it’s going to be hard. It’s going to be tough,'” Lewis responded. The remarks in the pre-taped interview came before Trump tweeted Saturday evening and suggested the pair work together in focusing on the nation’s inner cities.
Congressman John Lewis should finally focus on the burning and crime infested inner-cities of the U.S. I can use all the help I can get!

And while the market was closed, and algos were unable to respond to Trump’s latest ad hoc statement, he also added that “car companies and others, if they want to do business in our country, have to start making things here again. WIN!” he added.
