DONALD TRUMP

CNN - President-elect Donald Trump said Thursday he was considering inviting more people to his inauguration who might be “a little risky” after he invited Chinese leader Xi Jinping to attend his swearing-in ceremony in Washington, DC, in January...

Incoming White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt on Thursday morning confirmed that Trump had invited Xi to the inauguration, and sources tell CNN Trump personally extended the invitation. Trump on Thursday didn’t say whether Xi had accepted his invitation to attend the inauguration when asked about it by a reporter.

Daily Kos - Donald Trump said he doesn't want to talk about transgender rights issues anymore, despite demonizing the transgender community throughout his 2024 campaign.In an interview with Time magazine published on Thursday, which named Trump "Person of the Year," Trump declined to say whether he supports transgender people who want to use the bathroom that corresponds to their gender identity. 

"I don’t want to get into the bathroom issue. Because it's a very small number of people we're talking about, and it's ripped apart our country, so they'll have to settle whatever the law finally agrees," Trump said in the interview with Time. 

Time -When asked in an interview for TIME’s 2024 Person of the Year whether he would approve of an end to childhood vaccination programs, Trump said he would have a “big discussion” with Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the vaccine skeptic he has tapped to run the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). “The autism rate is at a level that nobody ever believed possible,” Trump continued. “If you look at things that are happening, there's something causing it.”

Trump did not explicitly say in the interview that vaccines cause autism, a false claim that traces back to a retracted study from the 1990s. When pressed on the issue, Trump said his administration will complete “very serious testing,” after which “we will know for sure what's good and what's not good."
