After one of the nastiest presidential campaigns most of us have ever seen, it seems that it is not over. In an interview with CNN, Senior Trump adviser KellyAnne Conway, made a subtle threat in response to the discussion of the recount.
In the discussion, Conway says that President-Elect Donald Trump has been ‘gracious’ for not prosecuting his rival, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton during the recount.
She also said:
“And so he said he wouldn’t rule it out. He said it’s just not his focus right now. I think he’s being quite magnanimous and at the same time he’s not undercutting at all the authority and the autonomy of the Department of Justice, of the FBI, of the House Committees, who knows where the evidence may lead if, in fact, it were — if the investigation were re-opened somewhere”

Hillary has won the popular vote and, as the results seem to be coming down to the wire, more and more pressure grows to have the votes recounted. The reaction from Trump on Twitter is also worrying, as it shows he is unable to even accept the fact that Hillary actually received more votes than him.
Donald tweeted this today:
In addition to winning the Electoral College in a landslide, I won the popular vote if you deduct the millions of people who voted illegally

So now he thinks there was fraud involved, which would in fact be an argument for a recount.
One of the things that worries most people about Trump as president, is his over-the-top, hot-headed reactions to events and people. When Trump announced he would not pursue the prosecution of Hillary Clinton, his exact words were:
“I don’t want to hurt them.”
As if he has not done this already during the campaign. This was already a flip-flop from his constant campaign threats to prosecute her. Kellyanne Conway’s words seem to show that he may well flip-flop again.
More and more of his supporters are seeing that what Trump has said to them in order to be elected, is not necessarily going to be what we will see in action (here is hoping).
Disturbingly the main thing that appears to drive Trump, is his child-like ego.
Now with Kellyanne Conway’s veiled threat, he is showing how easily his buttons can be pushed.
