During the show’s grilling from journalist Lesley Stahl, Donald Trump said, “Don't be afraid.We are going to bring our country back. But certainly, don't be afraid. You know, we just had an election and sort of like you have to be given a little time.”
Trump, who despite winning the electoral vote count by a large margin, looks set to lose the popular vote to his rival Clinton, as the count still continues in some States. But in his first TV interview, he vowed that he was “going to bring this country together” in the wake of the protests across the country about his election.
He added, “I mean, people are protesting. If Hillary had won and if my people went out and protested, everybody would say, ‘Oh, that's a terrible thing’. And it would have been a much different attitude. There is a different attitude. You know, there is a double standard here.”
But his attempt to calm the split US public appears to have increased alarm, rather than quell it on the issues of abortion, immigration and his attitudes towards foreign policy. Adding fuel to the fire, when it came to abortion, Trump revealed that he is 'pro-life' and plans to appoint pro-life judges to the Supreme Court Justice.
He added that, if in the hypothetical scenario, the Roe Vs Wade 1973 decision that made abortion legally available across all the US States was overthrown under his presidency, it would make it a matter for each individual State.
Such a scenario could potentially lead to individual States deciding to revisit the issue. This could lead to severe restrictions or even an outright ban on women terminating a pregnancy in certain States.
When it was put to him that US women might have to travel to a different State for an abortion – just like Irish women have to travel to the UK for a termination – he told stunned viewers: “Yeah, well, they'll perhaps have to go, they'll have to go to another state.”
When pressed further, he added: "Well, we'll see what happens. It's got a long way to go, just so you understand. That has a long, long way to go.”
Trump, who added that he is “fine with” same-sex marriage, said he plans to boot out between 2 or 3 million illegal immigrants when he gets his hands on the keys to the White House.
He also added that he plans to go ahead with what many would perceive as an 'off the wall' and dangerous plan to build a fence across the boarder with Mexico
“What we are going to do is get the people that are criminal and have criminal records, gang members, drug dealers, where a lot of these people, probably two million, it could be even three million, we are getting them out of our country or we are going to incarcerate,” Trump told 60 Minutes. “'But we're getting them out of our country, they're here illegally.”

It’s an astronomical figure when you look at the fact that fewer than 200,000 illegal immigrants were deported in 2014, according to a recent report.
“After the border is secure and after everything gets normalized, we're going to make a determination on the people that they're talking about who are terrific people, they're terrific people but we are gonna make a determination at that,” Trump said. “But before we make that determination... it's very important, we are going to secure our border.”
