Supporters cry foul as wall and waterboarding fall away

Donald Trump has signalled that he will compromise on key issues such as overturning President Barack Obama’s signature healthcare reform and building a wall on the Mexican border, risking a backlash from his supporters.

Before his win Trump described the outgoing administration’s health reform, known as “Obamacare”, as a “disaster” and a “big lie”.

After meeting Obama in the Oval Office, the president-elect struck a different tone, saying he would prefer to amend the measure rather than repeal it.
