The nation is still pissed that Donald Trump is about to become our president. Tensions erupted in L.A. last night and almost 200 people were arrested. Trump calls the protests unfair! Get the details on the latest, plus an update on Lamar Odom inside…
This has been one eventful week as the nation elected the next president to take over the White House. Donald Trump won the electoral vote, but Hillary Clinton won the popular vote. With that being said, folks are PISSED Trump nabbed the victory and they took to the streets all over the country to express their frustrations.
Folks lined the streets in downtown L.A. last night for round 3 of ANTI-TRUMP protests, which resulted in 185 people being arrested.
According to several reports, most of the protestors were peaceful, but there was one aggressive group that refused to move from an area around midnight, ignoring police orders to vacate.
Along with the arrests, one police officer was assaulted and hospitalized after an altercation went down. The person who assaulted the officer was also hospitalized. Sheesh.
These new arrests come on the heels of previous arrests from ANTI-TRUMP protestors. Early Thursday morning, about 30 people were arrested after hundreds shut down portions of the Hollywood (101) Freeway.
Protests have popped up all over the nation for the last three nights in other major cities, including NYC, Seattle, Atlanta, Portland, Miami and more. We do want to note, the overwhelming majority were perfectly peaceful.
So what does president-elect Donald Trump has to say about it all?
Trump says the protests are unfair and that the media incited them. The former reality star took to Twitter saying:
After firing off that tweet, it appears his team got a hold of his phone to "clean up" his reaction tweeting:
Doesn't even sound like him does it?
Now that Trump is gearing up for office, he has shared what he plans to do for his first 100 days in office.
Trump’s three main areas of focus include cleaning up Washington (propose a Constitutional Amendment to impose term limits on all members of Congress), protect American workers (announce our withdrawal from the Trans-Pacific Partnership), and restore rule of law (cancel every unconstitutional executive action, memorandum and order issued by President Obama). As you can see, these super vague promises are dangerous at best. Cancel every unconstitutional action? We guess he will have the ONLY say in what is "unconstitutional" since he will son have control over all three branches of government. Buckle up. It's about to be an insane ride. You can check out his entire plan here.
In a new report, Trump revealed he will be willing to keep at least two parts of the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare). After his meeting with POTUS Donald said he would keep the prohibition on denying coverage based on patients' pre-existing conditions, as well as a provision that extends children's coverage on their parents' insurance policy.

In other Trump news...
Police charged 23-year-old Shacara McLaurin, lead singer in the Harlem Gospel Choir, with felony assault after she pushed a 74-year-old man to the ground after he followed her and her friend around verbally assaulted them. It all went down outside of Trump Tower during the 2nd night of ANTI-TRUMP protests in Manhattan.
According to PIX 11:
She [Shacara] and a friend walked past the protest in front of the Trump Tower several blocks away. A Trump supporter began verbally assaulting the women assuming that they attended the protest. He followed the women for two blocks hurling insults at them and even used the terms "Black Beasts" and ignorant [sic]. Instead of assisting the women they were placed under arrest by the NYPD.
Ugh! Welcome to AmeriKKa. Read the rest of the story here.
In non-political news....
Oh, hey Lamar Odom! Looking good there.
The former NBA baller was spotted leisurely out and about in L.A. this week. He’s looking healthy and we’re all for it.
A few days ago, Lamar’s dad made headlines after he bashed his former daughter-in-law Khloe Kardashian, saying she was NO good for him. He told Radar Online:
“She was a piece of work, man. Khloe was no good for him and he’s better off without her! She got my son into a lot of sh*t. Lamar’s life and his career went downhill as soon as he got involved with her. He just didn’t need all that drama in his life.”
Hmph...
