This is nonsense. This is just one momentary set of thoughts from the elite that run this country. I will grant that we need to treat children with issue of how they present their gender with care, but that doesn't mean presenting an unclear message to children. Children take things literally and we need to deal with that. Our sex experts are mostly wrong. Remember John Money and his effort to change a child's sexuality. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Money
In a century we will look at this generations ideas and laugh, but unfortunately those who have to deal with the results of our experts can't laugh.

Trump is somewhat correct here, since the Democratic party supported globalization, but both parties support globalization. I don't know about open borders but the donors of both parties want cheaper immigrant labor. I live in rural MN and the food processing plants hire immigrants, mostly Mexicans here but it can be any nationality. I doubt they are run only by Democrats.
Hillary may be in the pocket of Wall Street but the GOP supports a less regulated financial industry.

WASHINGTON - The chiefs of America's intelligence agencies last week presented President Obama and President-elect Donald J. Trump with a summary of unsubstantiated reports that Russia had collected compromising and salacious personal information about Mr. Trump, two officials with knowledge of the briefing said.

I thought the best line during his news conference was that he is a known germaphobe.
President-elect Donald Trump, during a news conference in New York City on Wednesday, vehemently denied the salacious and unverified allegations put forth in a 35-page dossier published by BuzzFeed News. Behind a podium in the lobby of Trump Tower, the president-elect professed an awareness that the hotel rooms he visits overseas may be bugged with tiny cameras.

Commentary from Russians is worth reading
Trump's Shouty and Insane Press Conference Reminded Russians of…Putin
Their message to Americans: Brace yourselves.

During Donald Trump's first press conference as president-elect, he called BuzzFeed a "failing pile of garbage," shouted down questions from a CNN reporter, and evaded tough questions about the dossier released the day before alleging that Russia had been cultivating Trump for years and had assembled compromising material on him. In the United States, many found Trump's harsh approach shocking. "It is our observation," said Fox News anchor Shepard Smith, referring to Trump's treatment of CNN, "that neither they nor any other journalists should be subjected to belittling and delegitimizing by the president-elect."
