Top Republican says Trump didn't mean it
Leading Republican, Jim Gilmore, says many of Donald Trump's most controversial campaign pledges were made to prove he would be a strong leader, but he doesn’t think the President-elect will go through with them. Mr Gilmore said the idea of building a wall along the Mexican border was probably just a "metaphor", that America is committed to NATO and that a Muslim ban could not happen because it would be "unconstitutional". Mr Gilmore is the former Governor of Virginia and former chair of the Republican National Committee. He was a presidential nominee and is tipped for a job in the Trump administration.
