The President-elect made his first national television appearance since last week’s shock win to reaffirm his intention to sort out the issue of immigration.

Speaking on 60 Minutes, the billionaire businessman said: “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.

“But we’re getting them out of our country, they’re here illegally.

“After the border is secure and after everything gets normalised, 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.

“But before we make that determination, it’s very important, we are going to secure our border.”

Trump signalled that the wall could also incorporate fencing on certain sections.

His comments on the CBS show come as protests in America continue over his dramatic win – something that the new President himself mentioned on his Twitter account.

He wrote: “Just had a very open and successful presidential election. Now professional protesters, incited by the media, are protesting. Very unfair!”

The President-elect will officially be sworn in as President on 20 January.
