>> he is not going to release the tax returns. we litigated this all through the election. people didn't care. they voted to for him. most americans are very focused on what their tax returns will look like while president trump is in office, not what his lock like. >> a clear shift from then-candidate trump's pledge to release his taxes once an audit was complete. also dominating headlines, massive demonstrations challenging trump that has gotten the lion's share of attention with millions taking to the streets around the world, marching in defiance of the new president. here in the united states, hundreds of thousands descended on the washington, d.c., took over entire avenues in new york, shut down parts of los angeles. atlanta, park city, utah, little rock, and dozens of other cities. the president tweeted, watch protests yesterday but was under the impression that we just had an election, why didn't these people vote? celebs hurt cause badly. he later struck a more conciliatory tone saying,
