A Message from President-Elect Donald J. Trump

Today, I would like to provide the American people with an update on the White House transition and our policy plans for the first 100 days. Our transition team is working very smoothly, efficiently, and effectively. Truly great and talented men and women, Patriots indeed, are being brought in, and many will soon be a part of our government, helping us to make America great again.

My agenda will be based on a simple core principle; putting America first. Whether it's producing steel, building cars, or curing disease, I want the next generation of production and innovation to happen right here, in our great homeland, America, creating wealth and jobs for American workers.

As part of this plan, I've asked my transition team to develop a list of executive actions we can take on day one to restore our laws and bring back our jobs. It’s about time. These include the following:

• On trade, I'm going to issue our notification of intent to withdraw from the Trans-Pacific Partnership, a potential disaster for our country. Instead, we will negotiate fair bilateral trade deals that bring jobs and industry back onto American shores.
• On energy, I will cancel job-killing restrictions on the production of American energy, including shale energy and clean coal, creating many millions of high-paying jobs. That's what we want. That's what we've been waiting for.
• On regulation, I will formulate a role which says that for every one new regulation, two old regulations must be eliminated. So important.
• On national security, I will ask the Department of Defense and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff to develop a comprehensive plan to protect America's vital infrastructure from cyberattacks and all other form of attacks.
• On immigration, I will direct the Department of Labor to investigate all abuses of visa programs that undercut the American worker.
• On ethics reform, as part of our plan to “drain the swamp,” we will impose a five-year ban on executive officials becoming lobbyists after they leave the administration, and a lifetime ban on executive officials lobbying on behalf of a foreign government.

These are just a few of the steps we will take to reform Washington and rebuild our middle class. I will provide more updates in the coming days as we work together to make America great again for everyone. And I mean everyone.

Presidential Election Results: Donald J. Trump Wins – Election Results 2016 – The New York Times

Is Donald Trump a fascist?

Donald Trump’s overwhelming victory in Tuesday night’s New Hampshire primary makes him, according to both betting markets and many analysts, the favorite to win the Republican nomination. Trump has been written off as an entertainer and circus clown, but he has been tagged with another, much more serious label: fascist. Trump’s campaign has stirred bigoted feelings in the electorate and played to voters’ worst fears and prejudices. And so far, it’s working. Two-thirds of New Hampshire Republicans, according to exit polls, favored Trump’s ban on Muslim immigration.

To discuss Trump’s rise and its historical echoes, I called Robert Paxton, a leading authority on the history of fascism. A regular contributor to the New York Review of Books and an expert on Vichy France, Paxton has written numerous books on European history. We discussed the ways in which Trump is and is not a fascist, whether Trump believes what he says, and why now, of all times, so many Americans seem to be embracing him. The conversation has been edited and condensed.

#specificallyTHIS is the Real Gender Gap

A new study says women around the world know less about politics than do men, regardless of how progressive a country is in terms of gender equality.

The United Kingdom's Economic & Social Research Council recently measured the media systems and national political knowledge of men and women in 10 countries: Australia, Canada, Colombia, Greece, Italy, Japan, South Korea, Norway, the U.K. and the United States. The study found that news consumption is primarily a male activity, with national populations that watch TV news – particularly public service broadcasters – better informed about politics than those who don't.

Researchers found that gender-equality laws factored little into whether women were politically knowledgeable.

"Our finding that the gap between men and women's knowledge of politics is greater in Norway – a country ranked globally as one of the very highest in terms of gender equality – than in South Korea – a country with a much lower equality rating – is particularly striking," Professor James Curran, director of the Goldsmiths Leverhulme Media Research Centre at University of London and lead researcher of the study, said in a released statement.

The study also found that economic status did not affect the knowledge gap: women were more widely behind men in "advanced" economies, such as those in the U.K. and U.S., than in less-advanced economies such as in Colombia.

"The fact that throughout the whole world women know less about politics than men and that this is as true for people in Norway as it is in Colombia is really very surprising," Curran said.

Of the coverage measured, women were interviewed or cited in 30 percent of television news stories from the 10 countries measured. In all 10 countries, women tended to appear in "soft news" stories, covering topics such as family, lifestyle and culture.

The countries with the widest gaps between genders were Canada, Norway and the U.K., where men claimed to be exposed to TV and newspapers significantly more than women.

The study goes onto say that the reason for the gap could be rooted in male-biased media content, less leisure time and greater unpaid work undertaken by women at home and social norms inherited from past generations.

"Whatever the reasons, our research shows that globally in the 21st Century those who are most likely to be knowledgeable about politics and current affairs are older men in advanced industrial nations," Curran said in the release.
