UNPRECEDENTED. Trump complains about book cover photo.
@CNN just released a book called "Unprecedented" which explores the 2016 race & victory. Hope it does well but used worst cover photo of me!

Oh, and he also provoked China and North Korea:
China has been taking out massive amounts of money & wealth from the U.S. in totally one-sided trade, but won't help with North Korea. Nice!

North Korea just stated that it is in the final stages of developing a nuclear weapon capable of reaching parts of the U.S. It won't happen!

HATE PREACHERS. Donald Trump books anti-gay clergy for inauguration. “Among them are Rabbi Marvin Hier, founder and dean of the Simon Wiesenthal Center, and Bishop Wayne Jackson, who draped a prayer shawl from Israel over Trump’s shoulders when Trump made a campaign stop at his Great Faith Ministries International church in Detroit for a scripted interview. Here’s more on the other announced speakers: Paula White, Franklin Graham, Samuel Rodriguez and Timothy Dolan.”
ANOTHER INVITE. Israeli President Benjamin Netanyahu being courted for inauguration.
DON LEMON. Wasted on New Year’s Eve:
SAD GOODBYE. President Obama to say goodbye from city of Chicago: “The presidential farewell will take place on the evening of Jan. 10 at Chicago’s McCormick Place. In an email expected to be sent out Monday morning, Obama said he was taking his cue from George Washington, who “set the precedent for a peaceful, democratic transfer of power” and penned a farewell address in 1796.”
JOE SCARBOROUGH. Photographed partying with Trump at Mar-a-Lago after attacking reports that he partied with Trump. “His tweet-storm targeted Sopan Deb, who covered Trump on the campaign trail and will soon be joining The New York Times as a culture writer. Deb posted a screenshot of a paragraph from a New York Times report that noted Scarborough and MSNBC co-host Mika Brzezinski’s presence at Trump’s Florida party. ”
So @JoeNBC was at the party.
This is hilarious. All those tweets for naught. pic.twitter.com/seyYtK2Z8R

REP. TRENT FRANKS. If Russia was behind the hacks, they did a public service: “But the bottom line is if they succeeded, if Russia succeeded in giving the American people information that was accurate, then they merely did what the media should have done.”
