President-elect Donald Trump is already back on YouTube to share a message with the people. This time he had a "Thanksgiving message" that was very different from previous years when he tweeted about "haters and losers" and his "many enemies" during the holiday.

Trump was all about unity in Wednesday's video message. "It's my prayer that on this Thanksgiving we begin to heal our divisions and move forward as one country," he said while seated in front of the same background from Monday's first presidential video.

He acknowledged that this election has been hard on all of us. "We've just finished a long and bruising political campaign. Emotions are raw and tensions just don't heal over night," he said. "It doesn't go quickly, unfortunately."

Too bad, turkey dinner with all the relatives is only a day away.
