WASHINGTON: After all the rhetoric and badmouthing during campaign, Donald Trump seems to be adjusting himself with the demand of his office as the President of the United States.
His winning speech was conciliatory towards his rival for whom he used harsh words and now the statement calling for a ban on Muslims from entering the US has been removed from his website.
The page was available on the morning of the election on 8 November, according to online caches. But the redirected version was added later the same night.
Trump was widely condemned for his call shortly after the terrorist attacks in Paris in November 2015 to temporarily ban all Muslims until he figured out "what the hell was going on".
He was also noticeably conciliatory toward his vanquished rival, Hillary Clinton, whom he has spent months berating as a corrupt favorite of the Washington establishment who broke the law by using a private server to send and receive classified data.
"Hillary has worked very long and very hard over a long period of time, and we owe her a major debt of gratitude for her service to our country," Trump said, during his speech proclaiming a stunning victory in the White House race.
The real estate mogul also pledged to "deal fairly with everyone," including "all other nations", showing signs of a change.
