His aides say he has also expressed interest in continuing to hold the large rallies that were a staple of his candidacy. He likes the instant gratification and adulation that the cheering crowds provide, and his aides are discussing how they might accommodate his demand.

“I think Trump has discovered that these rallies are tremendous opportunities for him to get his message out,” said Christopher Ruddy, chief executive of Newsmax Media, a conservative website. “It’s actually sort of old-fashioned, that you want to actually meet people and press the flesh with him.”

Hahaha. Did you see him "press the flesh" with anyone after any of the debates? No, you didn't.  I didn't see any rallies, except where he hauled little kids on stage to kiss them, but I'm skeptical he did much flesh pressing in the usual sense of political schmoozing.   We know what flesh he wants to press. I think the article's author has a better handle on why he likes the rallies: ego, instant gratification and adulation.

Not least, Mr. Trump is finding Twitter a familiar comfort, although it is unclear if he will be the first president to wholly control his own Twitter account once he is in the White House.

No doubt. For a while, anyway. Until he calls Angela Merkel a cow.

For now Mr. Trump remains in Trump Tower receiving congratulations, thanking those who stayed with him and venting to associates his lingering grievances with the news media over coverage of the campaign.

The man can hold a grudge.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
