Trump salutes supporters in Florida names budget director<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Trump salutes supporters in Florida names budget director:-<\/strong> President-elect Donald Trump, in the latest stop of his victory lap, told a military veteran-laden crowd in Florida on Friday that while he would build up the country\u2019s armed forces, he would use them sparingly as commander-in-chief.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cFor too long, we\u2019ve moving from one reckless intervention to another, to countries you\u2019ve never heard of before,\u201d Trump said at a rally in Orlando. \u201cIt\u2019s crazy and it\u2019s going to stop.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Trump still vowed to defeat the Islamic State group, offering no details but promising a foreign policy strategy that \u201cmeans crushing ISIS rapidly.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

He also vowed to keep \u201cradical Islamic terrorists\u201d out of the country by banning immigration from regions afflicted by terror \u2014 and pledged that tragedies like June\u2019s mass shooting at a nearby Orlando nightclub, which left 49 dead, would never happen again. That shooter was a U.S. citizen born in New York and would likely have been unaffected by Trump\u2019s proposals.<\/span><\/p>\n

Trump on Friday also selected South Carolina Rep. Mick Mulvaney, a budget hawk and conservative Republican, to be his budget director, according to a transition official not authorized to speak publicly about the decision before it was announced.<\/span><\/p>\n

The stop in Florida, which drew thousands to a fairgrounds outside Orlando, was meant to salute Trump\u2019s Election Day victory in a must-win state for his upstart presidential bid. The Republican businessman, who owns multiple properties in Florida, calls it his \u201csecond home\u201d and relentlessly campaigned across it, successfully turning out white voters from non-coastal areas to best opponent Hillary Clinton\u2019s strength among minority voters in the state\u2019s large cities.<\/span><\/p>\n

On Saturday, Trump will make the final stop on his \u201cThank you\u201d tour at a football stadium in Mobile, Alabama, revisiting the site of the largest rally of his campaign.<\/span><\/p>\n

That night, he will return to Mar-a-Lago, his palatial Palm Beach estate. Aides said the president-elect would likely spend all of Christmas week there, taking meetings and relaxing with his family, and could stay at the coastal resort until New Year\u2019s.<\/span><\/p>\n

He was in vintage campaign form in Orlando, settling scores, belittling opponents and even conducting a poll from the stage as to whether the crowd liked the phrase \u201cMade in America\u201d or \u201cMade in the USA\u201d better. (\u201dMade in the USA\u201d won convincingly.)<\/span><\/p>\n

The raucous crowd \u2014 which was double in size of the one in the same venue in late October \u2014 also acted as if the campaign was still ongoing, repeatedly chanting \u201cLock her up\u201d about Trump\u2019s former Democratic foe Hillary Clinton. They also turned their scorn on the press pen, chanting \u201cMove them back\u201d when Trump bitterly noted that the reporters at the rally had better seats than most of the attendees.<\/span><\/p>\n

Trump\u2019s pick to head the Office of Management and Budget helped found the House Freedom Caucus, the group of conservative lawmakers who frequently battled former House Speaker John Boehner. An early backer of Trump during the campaign, Mulvaney took a hard line on federal spending under the Obama administration.<\/span><\/p>\n

A strong proponent of spending cuts, Mulvaney fought against raising the nation\u2019s debt limit and frequently expressed a willingness to shut down the federal government instead. Mulvaney, as budget director, would be tasked with steering Trump\u2019s promised tax cut and infrastructure investment as well as working to repeal the Affordable Care Act.<\/span><\/p>\n

In Orlando, Trump pushed back against criticism that his Cabinet was too stocked with generals and billionaires, suggesting he only cared about effectiveness, not political correctness.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t need an MBA at the border and I don\u2019t need a general negotiating our trade deals,\u201d he said.<\/span><\/p>\n

Though he will now set up camp at Mar-a-Lago, he has conducted most of his Cabinet and White House interviews from his office in Trump Tower high above Manhattan. Those interviews, as well as meetings with his advisers, continued Friday morning and included a sit-down with Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson, the only current member of President Barack Obama\u2019s Cabinet to make the trip to the tower.<\/span><\/p>\n

Also on Friday, Trump\u2019s incoming staff \u2014 Reince Priebus \u2014 had lunch at the White House with President Barack Obama\u2019s current chief of staff, Denis McDonough. Other former chiefs of staff were also invited.<\/span><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, three protesters who have sued Trump, claiming they were assaulted last March at one of his campaign rallies, are asking the president-elect to sit for a deposition before he takes office next month.<\/span><\/p>\n

Trump\u2019s attorney says he intends to \u201coppose any efforts\u201d to depose the president-elect.<\/span><\/p>\n
