Was Rush saying this before the election?

Yes, he certainly was. Perhaps you just weren't listening.

I agree. The Trump I saw sitting next to Obama is the business man who makes pragmatic decisions, doesn’t fight battles that don’t benefit him and knows he gets no benefit from humiliating Obama.

This is exactly right. Trump knows the campaign is now over and it is time to set his team up to get results not brownie points. He will do what it takes to get off to a good start. When time and the situation allows he will revisit the corruption and lies of Obama and Clinton. But right now is the time to get them out of the way and not have them or their allies creating any more problems than they will anyway.

Yes. Trump said for everyone to fill out job applications because he’d need 4k filed. I heard him.

There’s nothing Trump can do now to stop the mob. He can react to them and incite an increased investment by the left to hire and field more operatives. He is playing it perfectly and putting the onus on Barry to not let his people do too much damage. January 20 it’s a whole new ball game with a new sheriff in town. I think Trump wants to have his justice and FBI people in place to cut the head off of this by going after soros and the other sources of money. No money, watch the protests quickly fade away.

Why rock the boat during the transition???

Trump knows Obama is behind the protest

He will get his revenge after he is president

Same for Hillary

Trump is being as sly as a Fox and keeping his cards close to his vest. He has on his poker face.

It is possible he's pulling a Colombo. For younger Freepers, Colombo was a TV detective whose show began by showing the crime being committed, and the drama was in how the perp was caught, not in who-dun-nit. Colombo's specialty was feigning ignorance, and generally acting dumb. The suspect, typically an arrogant, pedantic, blowhard, would be lured into a false sense of security, and find showing off his/her self perceived intellectual superiority, by running their mouth, irresistible. Colombo would appear humbly grateful for the education he was being provided, but all the while he was actually building his case.

For Trump to act in such the self deprecating manner of Det. Colombo would show previously unsuspected depths of subtlety. But for BO to act like an arrogant, pedantic, blowhard, who finds himself unable to resist running his mouth and demonstrating his self perceived superiority, well its not an act, that's who he is.

Outstanding analysis! You nailed it very well.

I am an old guy and loved Colombo.

“After having met with President-Elect Trump, it’s clear that I have to help him quite a bit. Good guy, doesn’t know what he’s doing, though, and we have scheduled many more meetings. He really didn’t know that gets hire his own people here.” He can’t possibly say that. But he might try to convey it.

***He did just that today with impromptu news conference this afternoon***

How could he not know it? I have known it for decades and I am fairly certain Donald Trump has more reason to have known it than I have.

So far things seem to be moving fairly well in accordance with what this guy says except he indicated that Obama would be in big trouble. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ov5kvWSz5LM

If Trump didn't know that he had to hire the entire West Wing staff, then why did his transition team create https://www.greatagain.gov/serve-america.html asking for resumes?

Yeah...the web site was up and running a day or so after election day.

A thought: rather than more time with Obama, perhaps Trump could get what he needs via a chat with Dick Cheney?

Some insight as to how he does it:

'Think of Trump as surrounded by an invisible shield of REACTIVE ARMOUR.

Anything thrown at him is returned instantaneously and with 10 times force.

From the "Art of the Deal" paper back edition page 185 published in 1987:

"I have great respect for the Japanese, but they are very difficult to deal with. For starters, they come to see you in groups of six or eight or even twelve, so you have to convince them all to make a deal. You may succeed with one or two or three, but 12 is more difficult."

Comes Trump with (2016 - 1987) = 29 years experience since...and how many great deals he has negotiated since 1987?.
