welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top 10
crazy things that have happened since
Donald Trump’s election before we begin
we publish new videos every day
so be sure to subscribe for more great
content for this list we’ve looked at
unexpected or just plain crazy things
that happened between Donald Trump’s
election victory and his inauguration as
president of the United States of
America we’re going to start saying
Merry Christmas again number 10 health
care reform much has been made of Donald
Trump’s apparent u-turns on major
policies since his election to the White
House one such rethink involves health
care on the campaign trail Trump railed
against the Affordable Care Act also
known as Obamacare and panned Hillary
Clinton’s plan to grow the program which
was designed to ensure that more
Americans would have health care
insurance however after his election
Trump said that instead of scrapping
Obamacare altogether he would keep some
aspects of it perhaps more importantly
while many members of the GOP wanted
Obamacare repealed ASAP Trump went
against them by revealing that he
thought the program should be repealed
only once an alternative was developed
if you repeal it and before you replace
it when millions of people would lose
we’re going to do it simultaneously
it’ll be just fine
what’s more a consequence of gutting
Obamacare would be damage to Medicare
which is a program the campaigning Trump
had said that he would protect as
president bottom line
expect things to continue changing
number 9 wall or fence it’s not a fence
it’s a wall mr. Trump’s campaign
proposals to build a wall along the
us-mexico border made controversial
headlines around the world a big
beautiful powerful wall his insistence
that he would get Mexico to build and
pay for the structure further polarized
American opinion but post-election in an
interview with CBS’s 60 minutes
said that he sees quote certain areas of
his wall being more like a fence would
you accept a fence for certain areas I
would the apparent softening of his
stance hadn’t yet spread to all of his
hardline immigration policies however as
plans to ban or deport significant
numbers of undocumented immigrants looks
set to still go ahead by early January
2017 the plans changed again as Trump’s
transition team expressed their desire
for Congress to pay for the wall not
Mexico although they still might insist
Mexico reimbursed the cost number eight
Taiwan and the one China policy it’s
pronounced China following Trump’s
victory analysts began predicting major
diplomatic shifts and is so-called new
world order the changing times quickly
came into focus when Trump took a call
from psy in one the president of Taiwan
becoming the first u.s. president or
president-elect to speak to the
Taiwanese leader in almost 40 years the
phone call sparked warnings of a
diplomatic crisis as Trump appeared to
ignore the decades-old one China
agreement between America and China the
policy means that the US and China
effectively agree that Taiwan is part of
China despite the fact that the
Taiwanese government claims it’s an
independent country
Trump’s actions do mirror his campaign
promises here as his rhetoric toward
China and current us-chinese relations
was consistently hostile hey I’m not
saying this stupid I’d like China number
seven Trump says he doesn’t want to hurt
the Clintons the foundations for our
next 180 were laid the very night the
Republican candidate won his place in
the oval office the Hillary Clinton
email scandal dogged the Democrats
campaign and Trump said he’d have her
quote locked up because of it should he
become president because you’d be in
jail however in his victory speech Trump
immediately got off Clinton’s case
thanking her for her service and
insisting that America owes her a quote
major debt of gratitude
since then the incoming Trump government
has distanced itself from the idea of
jailing Clinton seemingly adopting a
water under the bridge attitude toward
the issue well I’ll tell what I’m going
to do I’m gonna think about it
while some
kurz feel it’s fair it may seem like a
failed promise for those whose chance of
lock her up resonated around some
Republican rallies in 2016 that play
straight for number six
cabinet appointments perhaps most
controversial of trumps appointments
with Steve Bannon as chief strategist
and senior counselor as the former
Breitbart executive chair was a
proponent of the far-right Rex Tillerson
as Secretary of State raised eyebrows
because of reported business ties to
Russia’s Vladimir Putin the highly
decorated James Mad dogmatists
Secretary of Defense having only retired
from active service in 2013 instead of
the usual seven-year wait time Homeland
Security’s John F Kennedy stood of
Guantanamo Bay noted climate change
skeptics Rick Perry and Scott Pruett
will oversee US energy and environmental
protection policies former apprentice
contestant Omarosa also joined Trump’s
White House staff and one time WWE CEO
Linda McMahon is the new administrator
of the Small Business Administration
following her multimillion-dollar
donations to Trump’s campaign
coincidentally Trump’s team amounts to
one of the wealthiest cabinets ever to
run America number five Trump likes
Obama Trump consistently slammed the
outgoing president on the campaign trail
and criticized his predecessors eight
years in charge but following his
election victory and since the pair’s
notorious post-election meeting at the
White House
Trump’s opinion of Obama has severely
softened I very much look forward to
dealing with the president in the future
including counsel the president-elect
says he quote really likes Obama and
that though their ideas and policies
differ he acknowledges that Obama quote
wants to do right by the country I found
him to be terrific the new approach is
in stark contrast to Trump’s campaign
tactics which saw him call the Democrats
term as president a quote disaster
frequently cast doubt over Obama’s
heritage and even label his rival quote
the founder of Isis he was a founder of
Isis
absolutely but don’t worry within weeks
of inauguration day the Trump Obama
relationships seem to be getting back on
track number four spike in hate crimes
let’s make America great again during
his campaign Trump had United his
supporters under the slogan make America
great again but within days of his being
elected a large spike in racially
aggravated hate crimes swept across the
country instances of intimidation
physical violence targeted vandalism and
graffiti were all recorded by state
police departments with many of the
crimes reportedly fueled by prejudice
inspired by Trump’s victory while mr.
Trump has repeatedly asked his
supporters to stop targeting minorities
the Southern Poverty Law Center clocked
almost 900 incidents in the first 10
days following the election and I say
stop it in his victory speech Trump said
it was time to quote bind the wounds of
division within days of his winning the
presidency it became clear just how
important that sentiment was I say it is
time for us to come together as one
United people number three refused
intelligence briefings typically
official Intel briefings or day-to-day
work for the president allowing him to
keep up to speed with international
situations and developments however
since his election Trump has attended
the briefings only sparingly preferring
to delegate the meetings to his vice
president elect Mike Pence instead
Donald Trump is treating our national
security like I treat emails from
Pottery Barn though opponents have
described Trump’s approach as the brash
or irresponsible behavior of someone
uninterested or an appreciative of his
position Trump insists his decision to
sit out briefings is a straightforward
one well I get it while I need it he
says that he’s quote a smart person and
doesn’t need to be told quote the same
thing in the same words every single day
but has also highlighted that as soon as
anything changes he’s available quote on
one minutes notice you know like a smart
person
however when NBC News released info he
had not yet seen Trump admitted this was
quote serious number two conflicts of
interest
Trump’s decades of experience as a
global business man may have garnered
him support in his bid to run America
but Trump’s critics are alarmed by his
apparent reluctance to step away from
his corporate Empire now that he has won
the White House analysts are expecting a
series of conflicts of interest arising
while Trump is president thanks to
various business and property ties he
holds all over the world if he retains
personal financial interests in
international affairs any foreign policy
decision Trump makes will be scrutinized
by those asking what’s in it for him in
his first official press conference of
2017 Trump announced that control of his
company would be shifted to his sons Don
and Eric for the duration of his
presidency if they do a bad job I’ll say
you’re fired goodbye everybody in a
statement at that same presser his
attorney said that the President and
Vice President do not have to divest
themselves and that neither is subject
to a ban on conflicts of interest but
the Trump would be going above and
beyond what was expected of him with
regards to the subject the
president-elect Trump has decided and we
are announcing today that he is going to
voluntarily donate all profits from
foreign government payments made to his
hotels to the United States Treasury
before we unveil our number-one pick
here are some honorable mentions in the
aftermath of the election employees
there are now reportedly taking on CEO
Mark Zuckerberg over this very issue
markets worldwide reacted strongly to
the election of Donald Trump the stock
market has surged since November 8th
[Music]
number one Russian involvement the
Hillary Clinton email controversy played
a major role in the latter weeks of the
election campaign according to a report
by The Washington Post a secret
assessment by the CIA determined that
Russia interfered in the 2016
presidential election giving Donald
Trump a boost to ensure he won by seeing
that thousands of hacked DNC emails were
leaked to WikiLeaks these findings were
confirmed by a US intelligence community
report released on January 6 2017 the
following week a separate unverified
report was made public by BuzzFeed
claiming that Russia has compromising
information about Trump as well as
details about his ties to Russia in his
January 11th press conference Trump
dismissed that report as fake news and a
political witch-hunt although he did
finally admit that it was Russia that
had hacked the DNC during the election
as far as hacking I think it was Russia
but I think we also get hacked by other
countries and other people do you agree
