probably most (one Trump insider said that unless Trump says it, don't believe it) - decline Nov 17, 07:56 13
- When looking at past administrations' transitions, this is unusual, right? All these rumors accompanied by whispers of infighting within the team? - Diva Nov 17, 08:01 10
  - False rumors feel typical to me, though in my memory Bush had his team buttoned up pretty early. -- nm - Max Nov 17, 08:18
  - I suspect it's somewhere in the middle. They're more discombobulated than usual, but most of the expectations are also more unrealistic than usual. -- nm - Ender Nov 17, 08:12 5
    - meaning the 'drain the swamp' expectations in not hauling out old, crusty names? -- nm - Diva Nov 17, 08:15 4
      - I mean the "why don't they have somebody named and working inside the Pentagon 4 days after the election?" expectations. -- nm - Ender Nov 17, 08:17 3
        
        I read yesterday both candidates were told months ago to have lists developed and positions ready. The Trump campaign did none of that prep work -- nm* - decline Nov 17, 08:23 1
        
        typical. -- nm - Diva Nov 17, 08:25
        
        Yeah, it's not like they're on a time crunch or anything. -- nm - znufrii Nov 17, 08:18
  - I suspect social media advances play a huge factor. -- nm - David's iPad Nov 17, 08:02 1
    - and my guess is that the transition team takes a lead from the President Elect in regards to it's use. - Mel Profit Nov 17, 08:08
  - nothing about this transition is normal -- nm - decline Nov 17, 08:01
- but unless Trump said that, can I believe even that statement? AHHHHH! -- nm - ML Nov 17, 07:58 1
  - But given Trump's history, even if he says it, he'll say something different the next day (if not the next sentence), so you can't even believe that! - pmb Nov 17, 08:02
