3:01 am
>> announcer: this is the "cbs overnight news." there they sat, side by side, "the worst president ever" and a "man uniquely unqualified to replace" him. of course that's what they called each other during the campaign. but if the first meeting was awkward, it didn't show. it seemed cordial and r as one man welcomed the other into the most exclusive address in the world. here's major garrett. >> reporter: water cannons saluted president-elect donald trump today as his jet prepared to take off for washington. a short time later mr. trump sat beside president obama in the oval office. in their first ever meeting the two spent 90 minutes alone discussing foreign and domestic policy and the logistics of handing over power. >> i believe that it is important for all of us,

3:03 am
smooth transition, and those efforts were on display today. white house chief of staff denis mcdonough was seen walking with mr. trump's son-in-law and trusted adviser, jared kushner. kushner cannot serve in the white house due to nepotism rules. scott, we have learned that steve bannon, hard conservative and trump's campaign ceo, is under consideration for chief of staff. that appointment, should he get it, would send a distinctly anti-establishment signal to all of washington, something that could not be said of the other person vying for the chi o staff position, rnc chairman reince priebus. >> major garrett in the white house briefing room tonight. major, thank you. the president-elect's next stop was at the other end of pennsylvania avenue, to meet the republican leadership. senate majority leader mitch mcconnell and house speaker paul ryan. here's nancy cordes. >> let me just say how excited we are about these opportunities for the country. >> reporter: a pragmatic house speaker tabled months of animosity today, giving mr.

3:05 am
transition period. is it one year? is it two years? that remains to be seen. but immediately people are not going to lose their insurance. >> reporter: democrats picked up a few seats in the house and senate, but not enough to block repeal. senator elizabeth warren told a union group today she is gearing up for a new reality. >> we will stand up to bigotry. no compromises ever on this one. [ applause ] >> whether donald trump sits in a glass tower or sits in the white house, we will not given inch on this, not now, not ever. >> reporter: her colleague bernie sanders argued democrats need to do some self-reflection now as well, tweeting this evening, scott, that "the party needs to be more focused on grassroots america than wealthy people attending cocktail parties." >> nancy cordes on capitol hill for us tonight. nancy, thank you. almost exactly half of the voters did not like the

3:07 am
>> reporter: post-election emotions have triggered groups like this one in new york, where subway riders write up post-its proclaiming their love or hate for trump. while others across the country are going online with hashtag ptsd tweets. >> i think there's something very fundamental about what he said that makes people feel like when he gets into power what's this guy going to do? >> reporter: robert cohen say professor of political science at new york university. >> you never hear about students protesting a president because they feel threatened by the president or president-elec if you went to one of these demonstrations, you'd find a diversity of concerns because it's a diverse coalition of people who he's offended and alienated. >> reporter: scott, when i asked protesters how long they expect to continue, they said they'll do so until mr. trump walks back on his language he's used in the past to describe certain groups. >> demarco morgan in manhattan for us. demarco, thank you. the cbs overnight news will be

3:10 am
some of what president-elect trump promised to do he can do with his own pen. deporting illegal immigrants, for example. but other priorities such as repealing obamacare will require congress. like president obama eight years ago, the people who put him in office have great expectations. and here's mar >> i had the best night's sleep i had after it was over with but -- >> reporter: we sat down with three trump voters at the minute grill, where diners have chewed over politics since 1963. >> if donald duck had been running against hillary, i would have voted for donald duck. >> reporter: harold martin is retired navy. joe may is a soybean farmer. they're both lifelong democrats. not this year. how can donald trump make dublin great again?

3:12 am
you looked at that electoral map? >> trump had better coverage than verizon. >> reporter: hundreds of people here work in three foreign-owned factories. scott, trump won counties like this one because many working-class americans believe, despite trump's anti-free trade stance, that this country needs a ceo. >> about 60 million of them. mark strassmann, thank you very much. the trump election, however, sent shivers through mexico's economy. the peso dropped % days. mexico's foreign minister said today that she is willing to modernize the north american free trade agreement, nafta, but not renegotiate it. manuel bojorquez is in mexico city. >> reporter: in this working-class neighborhood some fear the fevgz a trump administration. >> that your life will change. why? "abecause mexico's economy is so tied to the u.s.," says sonia
3:13 am
>> he is racist. he just talks about hating people. >> reporter: aside from insulting national pride, trump has threatened to tear up the trade agreement between the u.s. and mexico, putting millions of jobs at risk. he has also vowed to build a giant border wall and make mexico pay for it. clawsia ruiz-massieu is mexico's foreign minister. >> we would not consider paying for any wall that puts barriers between our integration and our competitiveness. >> but if a trump administration seems to be putting up a fight, >> well, mexico is ready to protect our people, but we are also ready to work with the next american administration. >> reporter: mexican senator armando rios piter isn't taking any chances. he's drafted a law that would stop mexico from using public funds to pay for a border wall. he also said mexico could retaliate by revising security agreements with the u.s. >> the way our visas are
3:14 am
have been taken in terms of protecting the united states. >> it sounds almost like a threat, some would say. >> no. the threat is what trump is doing. >> reporter: the nation's central bank believes mexico's economy is strong enough to weather through the peso's drastic drop. but scott, today it remains at its lowest level in more than two decades. >> manuel bojorquez in the mexican capital. manuel, thanks. some who've made it here from mexico and central america are now agonizing over their future. carter evans has that. >> reporter: immigrants are determined to keep president-elect trump from following through on his campaign threat to deport millions, like yamilex rustriam. >> if i get deported the day after tomorrow, i have nowhere to go. i have nowhere -- i obviously have family, but i would feel lost. >> reporter: she's afraid her family will be ripped apart, as so many were the last two times
