Following three days of nationwide anti-Trump protests over the election of Donald Trump, the president-elect appears to have changed his tune about the peaceful assemblies. The real-estate mogul initially called the nationwide displays “unfair” and blamed them on “the media,” but about 6 a.m. Friday, he tweeted: “Love the fact that the small groups of protesters last night have passion for our great country. We will all come together and be proud!” Just a few hours earlier, Trump had tweeted, “Just had a very open and successful presidential election. Now professional protesters, incited by the media, are protesting. Very unfair!”
