President-elect Donald Trump said Wednesday that he is taking advice on his political appointees from the man he spent months railing against on the campaign trail: President Barack Obama.
Trump said on NBCs Today that he has sought the presidents advice on the candidates for various appointment-level positions and, in at least one case so far, has acted on that advice.
I have asked him what he would think of this one and that one, Trump said. I would say that, yes, I take his recommendations very seriously, and there are some people that I will be appointing, and in one case have appointed, where he thought very highly of that person, yes.

"I will say this, I've now gotten to know President Obama. I really like him. We have I think, I can say at least for myself, I can't speak for him, but we have a really good chemistry together. We talk, Trump said. He loves the country. He wants to do right by the country and for the country. And I will tell you, we obviously very much disagree on certain policies and certain things, but, you know, I really like him as a person.
Ive asked him what he thinks are the biggest problems of the country, what are some of the greatest assets going forward. And we have a very good dialogue, he continued. And I must tell you, I never met him before this and never spoke to him before this. I really, I do like him. I love getting his ideas. And I may differ in many cases. I differ very greatly in many cases.

Yep saw it. See post 16.
This is a brilliant tactic by Trump! Numbnuts would likely be the only rat there, and has to regurgitate what was said. Have you ever played the game of passing a single sentence down the line through 6+ people? What initially was said is not even close to what comes out the last person. This keeps the moronic rats confused for quite some time trying to figure out what was said before badmouthing the meeting or tramp in the media. Plus, they risk stepping on numbnuts’ ego if wrong.
Thanks. My bad.
