Trump Urged by Clergy to Embrace Compassion as Protests Unfold
 [BLOOMBERG] Donald Trump...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... began his first full day in office Saturday at a prayer service in Washington where pastors of many faiths urged him to embrace peace and compassion, as tens of thousands of women gathered across town on the National Mall to protest his presidency. "Look with compassion, O heavenly Father, upon the widowed and orphans, outcasts and refugees, prisoners, and all who are in danger, that they may find you and be comforted," Anthony Vance, director of public affairs at the United States Baha’i Community, read during the service at the National Cathedral, a U.S. post-inaugural tradition dating to George Washington. Trump will travel in the afternoon to CIA headquarters to meet with intelligence agents, his press secretary, Sean Spicer, said on Twitter. He’ll be accompanied by his National Security Adviser, Michael Flynn, and his nominee to lead the Central Intelligence Agency, Representative Mike Pompeo, two people familiar with the matter said. Trump’s relationship with the intelligence community is strained after he publicly criticized its leaders for announcing that the U.S. had determined the Russian government was responsible for hacking Democratic Party officials’ e-mail accounts during the presidential campaign.
