Toyota said Tuesday that it plans to donate a million dollars to President-elect Trump's inauguration, the first time it's contributed to a U.S. presidential inauguration.

Of course, there's a lot of celebrating in the streets as well. Now, Yoon's original rationale for martial law was that opposition politicians who were sympathetic or in league with North Korea were paralyzing the government. But he never really stood that charge up. It never really resonated beyond his base of conservative supporters.

It seems that way. One thing that happened was that Yoon tried to hand power over to his ruling party. He said, I'm not going to manage things. They will. But experts said that's an unconstitutional arrangement. So for a while, people were not really sure who was leading South Korea. And so many top generals were suspended from their duties.
