After night of rallies, Trumps commends protesters "passion"

US President-elect Donald Trump has praised protesters' "passion" after a new night of demonstrations against his election victory that included rioting in Portland, Oregon.

"Love the fact that the small groups of protesters last night have passion for our great country," he tweeted. "We will all come together and be proud!"
He had previously blamed the unrest on "professional protesters".
Mr Trump is in New York, believed to be discussing his future cabinet.

"Busy day planned in New York," he tweeted. "Will soon be making some very important decisions on the people who will be running our government."

Campaign officials could be seen arriving at Trump Tower on Friday morning, where the future president is believed to be staying.

The Republican is due to be inaugurated on 20 January, taking over the White House from Democrat Barack Obama, who served two terms.
