The first definitions of Donald Trump to a week of his election

Donald Trump begins to take his first concrete steps as president-elect. After beating Hillary Clinton last Tuesday, the businessman has shed light on what could happen with his controversial campaign promises and what's ahead: on Friday he teamed up with President Barack Obama, and began naming some of his advisers And gave two interviews to US media. The mogul, who is focusing on his transition team, admitted Sunday in his first television interview with CBS that his temperament had been one of the points Democrats had most criticized him but said he was a person "Sober".
Trump has a number of challenges ahead. In addition to having no experience in politics, he is under "immense pressure to find 4,100 people qualified to lead the federal government," the New York Times said yesterday.
However, during these days, Trump has shown a more conciliatory tone and has softened some of his more controversial proposals, although he has maintained others. In addition, he said he would give up his presidential salary of $ 400,000 (yearly) and get a symbolic salary of one dollar a year. Here, the first definitions of Trump President:
* Nominations
Trump appointed Vice President Mike Pence as the leader of the transition team, replacing New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie. The entrepreneur's formula-mate, who will have a "big roll" in Trump's administration, will also be joined by other Republicans, including former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, former New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani Of former Republican challenger Ben Carson.Also will be the three older children of Trump, Ivanka, Donald Jr. and Eric.
Also on Sunday, Trump named Reince Priebus, chair of the Republican National Committee, as chief of staff. Priebus is close to House Speaker Paul Ryan and is estimated to have good relations with Congress. His appointment would be a gesture to the establishment of the conglomerate. On the contrary, his chief strategist will be the ultra right-wing Stephen Bannon, who has been a great critic of the leadership of the party.
* Immigration and Wall
The Republican kept in his interview with CBS the idea of ​​mass deportation he announced in the presidential campaign. Trump said he is seeking to expel "as soon as possible" between two and three million undocumented immigrants, who according to him, have some kind of "criminal background."Later, he said, he will decide which way to go with the rest of the 11 million undocumented. In almost eight years of management, Obama has deported 2.5 million illegal.
The businessman also said that instead of erecting a wall on the border with Mexico, he could "build a fence". However, he said that in certain areas the most appropriate thing is "a wall". Of the three thousand kilometers of border, there is already a wall and fences of 1,000 km, whose construction was initiated Bill Clinton.
* Obamacare
The President-elect changed his mind and announced that he was considering keeping some parts of Obama's Obamacare, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act system. This was one of the great turns the Republican gave, totally contrary to what he promised in his campaign, where he assured that he would "repeal" it. According to CBS, he will keep two key points: prohibiting insurers from denying coverage to people with pre-existing conditions and will also keep youngsters up to the age of 26 living with their parents from benefiting from their insurance.
* Hillary Clinton
The businessman was not clear on whether to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate Hillary for the use of his personal mail when he was Secretary of State. But he said he "does not want to hurt" the Clintons.
