Trump on Monday experienced what life will be like as president as he condemned
separate deadly incidents against a Russian diplomat and shoppers at a German
Christmas market, blaming Islamic terrorism in both instances.He offered no
support for his claim that terrorists were responsible for the
carnage.Authorities in Turkey and Germany were still investigating when Trump
issued back-to-back statements condemning the incidents, although the White
House earlier had said that what happened in central Berlin when a trucked
rammed a holiday crowd appears to be a terrorist attack.Trump called the brazen,
daytime shooting of Russias ambassador to Turkey as he attended a photo exhibit
a violation of all rules of civilized order. He added that the diplomat, Andrei
Karlov, was assassinated by a radical Islamic terrorist.Turkish authorities said
the gunman, who was identified as Mevlut Mert Altintas, a member of Ankaras riot
police squad, was later killed in a shootout with police. Altintas shouted in
Turkish about the Syrian city of Aleppo and also yelled Allahu akbar, the Arabic
phrase for God is great.In the Berlin incident, in which at least 12 people were
killed, Trump said the Islamic State group and other Islamist terrorists
continually slaughter Christians in their communities and places of worship as
part of their global jihad.He added that these terrorists and their regional and
worldwide networks must be eradicated from the face of the earth and pledged to
carry out that mission with all freedom-loving partners.Trumps transition team
did not immediately respond to requests to state the sources for his claims of
terrorist involvement.He later tweeted: Today there were terror attacks in
Turkey, Switzerland and Germany -- and it is only getting worse. The civilized
world must change thinking!In Zurich, police said three people were wounded when
a gunman dressed in black opened fire in the prayer hall of a mosque frequented
by Somali immigrants.Trump vowed during the presidential campaign to go after
the Islamic State group, but repeatedly declined to describe his plan for the
public.His statements came at the end of a busy day, after the president-elect
had announced his candidate for secretary of the Army, held a round of
transition meetings and was formally elected president by the Electoral College,
clearing the way for his Jan. 20 inauguration.Trumps choice of Army veteran and
fellow New Yorker Vincent Viola to be his Army secretary will put another
billionaire in leading role in the new administration.The president-elect also
met with a group of businessmen and former U.S. government officials as he
sought to fill other posts, including that of U.S. trade representative. Among
those he met with was Robert Lighthizer, a former deputy U.S. trade
representative in the Reagan administration.Viola is a West Point graduate who
joins a list of individuals with military backgrounds already chosen for the
Cabinet. Trumps picks for defense secretary, homeland security secretary,
national security adviser and deputy national security adviser are retired
military.In a separate written statement, Trump praised Viola, the son of
Italian immigrants, as living proof of the American dream and someone who has a
lengthy history of involvement with national security issues. Senate
confirmation is required.Viola was the first member of his family to attend
college. He was trained as an Airborne Ranger infantry officer and served in the
101st Airborne Division. A lawyer, he started multiple businesses and bought the
Florida Panthers hockey team for $250 million in 2013.Trump announced Viola from
his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida, where he was spending the run-up to Christmas
with his family and working on the transition. It also came as electors in all
50 states formally elected Trump as the 45th president.With this historic step
we can look forward to the bright future ahead, he said in a statement in which
he pledged anew that after the divisive campaign he will work hard to unit our
country and be the president of all Americans.Viola would join a circle of
wealthy businessmen Trump has chosen for the administration, including fast food
executive Andy Puzder to lead the Labor Department, billionaire investor Wilbur
Ross for Commerce, financier Steven Mnuchin for Treasury and Goldman Sachs
President Gary Cohn as his top economic adviser.More open posts remain. Trump
also met Monday with Thad Allen, the retired Coast Guard commandant who oversaw
the federal response to Hurricanes Katrina and Rita in 2005; R. Donahue Peebles,
board chairman of the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation, and founder and CEO
of a real estate development company named for him; and J. Christopher Reyes,
co-chairman of Reyes Holdings, a Chicago-based beer and food distributor.Trump
also had dinner Saturday at the Florida estate with Mexican billionaire Carlos
Slim, a surprising development given Trumps harsh criticism of Slim during the
presidential election. Slim is a major investor in The New York Times, a
frequent target of Trumps potshots on social media.Neither did Slim spare Trump,
who has criticized Mexicans and vowed to build a wall between the U.S. and
Mexico to stop illegal immigration.Trump spokeswoman Hope Hicks confirmed the
dinner, which was first reported by The Washington Post. People briefed on the
conversation said it was arranged to open a friendly line of communication
between the businessmen. A spokesman for Slim, Arturo Elias Ayub, tweeted that
the dinner was upbeat about Mexico and Mexicans.The dinner was brokered by
former Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski, who remains close to the
president-elect, after Lewandowski quietly visited Slim in Mexico City earlier
this month.Trump was expected to hold additional transition meetings on Tuesday
and Wednesday in Florida.---Follow Darlene Superville on Twitter:

Takitaki Browns Jersey . -- Ohio States Urban Meyer has never had any
issue acclimating to the biggest stages in college football. Writing in the
Guardian, Geoff Lemon gets his teeth into the Faf du Plessis sweet affair and
suggests that a ball-tampering charge for lolly-munching is pure confection. In
a pun-filled piece, Lemon says this sticky issue boils down to a sour
sideshow:All this over a mint. Perhaps its about whipping up interest in the
third Test, so a disaffected public will switch on to the day-night showpiece
despite the series being decided. But the nature of South Africas on-field
achievements iss where the attention should be, and to suggest a bit of sugar
takes the shine off them is way too fresh.dddddddddddd. Three winning tours to
Australia in a row is among the rarest of feats, and the touring side remains
2-0 in front, with the chance to deliver the first visiting whitewash on these
shores. They may well suggest the detractors suck on that.
