“But that is Trump’s responsibility”

Friday fatigue. Meant to say it is NOT Trump’s responsibility.

“He hasn’t got to the part where he finds out how bad it really is...he may have a few nights of thinking “WHAT DID I GET MYSELF INTO!!!!

All that NSA info will be available to him”

That’s my impression too.

It’s good that there is a transition period. That’s when the incoming president will gradually learn about ‘details’ and ‘reality’ of the situation. Initially, I’d imagine it can be absolutely daunting. It’s like any new job except this is a MASSIVE one with significant responsibilities.

Haven’t seen anyone commenting on Trump’s pursed mouth/lips as he is shaking Obama’s hand. Also, Trump is not looking at the camera.

Obama looks like his arm is reaching out more and first toward Trump, though his right arm hand are closer to Trump’s than Trump’s right arm toward Obama. Plus, as the current president, he should be initiating and taking that lead, even if it is simply a superficial gesture for exchange of pleasantries in front of cameras.

To my uneducated eye, Trump looked totally dominant, and disgusted with 0bola, and serious. 0bola looked clueless, nervous, irritated, outdone and trying to repress stark terror.

I just saw the short video. That finger tapping on Trump’s part is a sure sign of boredom and impatience and what one does when forced to listen to nonsense.

He always shakes hands firmly, and looks right into the eye of the person whose hand he's shaking. Well, take a look at that video clip again and notice how Trump makes a point of looking down while shaking Obama's hand. Personally, I think Trump despises the guy.

Trump can't stand phonies and liars

Looking Obama in the eye he probably would have wanted to bust him one

I agree.

I also believe he’s been planning this for decades.

For a methodical, planning businessman that would entail getting to know all kinds of people all over the world and gathering as much info as possible.

He could have more dirt on people than the Clintons do. I believe that’s why they fear and loathe him so much. But I don’t believe he’d use it just to get ahead like they do.

There is another possibility. Obama may have passed information of an impending catastrophe. An asteroid, a new ice age, a plague... I thought Trump looked rattled.

Looks like this hand position is very natural for Trump. Too bad this "expert" didn't bother to look at pictures of Trump during interviews and meetings.

IMHO Trump will use any info he has in his possession to MAGA and use against those who oppose his efforts to MAGA.

The latter, I believe. Trump looked impatient to me.

When I saw the picture, it looked to me that Obama’s chair is much wider than Trump’s giving him more room to manspread.

Sounds like he’s telling Obama he’s in charge.
