In his first television interview since winning the presidential election, Donald Trump described on CBS News’ “60 Minutes” his phone call with Hillary Clinton and said that the former secretary of state is strong and smart.
“It was a lovely call, and it was a tough call for her, I mean, I can imagine. Tougher for her than it would have been for me. I mean, for me, it would have been very, very difficult,” Trump sad, referring to Clinton’s call after Trump secured victory. “She couldn’t have been nicer. She just said, ‘Congratulations, Donald, well done.'”
“And I said, ‘I want to thank you very much, you were a great competitor.’ She is very strong and very smart,” he added in the interview set to air in full on Sunday.
Trump also said that Bill Clinton called him to offer congratulations.
“He couldn’t have been more gracious. He said it was an amazing run. One of the most amazing he’s ever seen. He was very, very, really, very nice,” Trump said of his call with Bill Clinton.
When asked if he would seek Bill Clinton’s advice, Trump told CBS News’ Lesley Stahl that he would “think about that.”
“He’s a very talented guy, both of them, I mean, this is a very talented family,” Trump said.

Fuck you too.
Hey, I have a very simple analogy which I have been using to explain Trump to people. Mostly I’m using it with the locals who obviously don’t know much about US politics, but it works at home too.
Trump is obviously a fantastic salesman—unbelievably compelling (unfortunately). What I say is that Trump is like a car salesman who doesn’t even know anything about cars.
Maybe this is too simplistic for you guys, but I find it apt, and it get the point across.
I hope they asked him what he was going to do about the feeling of entitlement his win has given to racists and misogynists. but it is probably a suck uppy interview.
He basically said his fomenting hate wasn’t taking things too far because he won.
Now wait a sec… what happened to “nasty?”
While Priebus has the inside track for chief of staff some in TrUmps circle are pushing for Bannon.
