Go ahead and protest Trump’s election, but make sure you do it peacefully
BY SHARON SAMUEL After a dramatic U.S. election, President Donald Trump has finally entered the White House, which I am definitely not happy about.

How everyone is falling for con man Trump
BY MIKE STROMME Donald Trump is the biggest con man in American politics and everyone is falling for it.
