Has he formed an “Office of the President-elect” with its own logo?
What’s funny is that, as opposed to his predecessor, Trump doesn’t have to affect the trappings of POTUS. All by himself, he projects power.
Lame duck President was historically used to refer to Presidents' terms following election of their successors. Presstitutes started referring to Lame Duck Reagan the day after he was re-elected.
"As a lame duck President, how much can heactually achieve?" was their common refrain.
Amazing. I said these exact words to my wife this morning.
Great FRminds think alike!
We’ve had a fake President ever since Reagan left office.
Eight years ago at this very time, the press were having orgasms over the prospects of Obama moving into the White House. Literally. Reporters were having to change their underwear in the middle of the day. Every word Obama uttered was being recorded on stone tablets.
Trump is now the leader of the free world. He becomes the 45th President of the U.S. on inauguration day.
Obama has 44 more days and he’ll spend almost 20 of them on his Hawaiian vacation
Want to bet Trump works right up until Christmas Eve and then returns christmas week to keep working?
Don’t forget the greek columns and endless parade of commemorative magazines, posters and bric-a-brac.
It’s been so long since we have had adult leadership in The White House that people naturally look up to a born leader like Trump. Like Ronald Reagan said when he was President and shook hands with Trump for the first time - Reagan thought he was shaking hands with the President.
Now, and forever more, the new President is effectively in office as of Election eve.
“Yes, Trump is already the President. He’s just waiting for the current occupier of the White House to move out so he can move in.”
I shutter to think what a fool obama will make of himself when President Trump is sworn in on 20 January 2017. It’s probably going to be looonnnng, drawn out and all about him. Any takers on the bet????
They’ll need about a week to fumigate the place first.
Communists leave behind a particular stench that is hard to get out of plush furniture.
See my post above. The rules changed in 2008.
I remember one person who even created an official seal for the fictitious Office of the President-Elect so he could get started on making the oceans recede and the ice caps to stop melting. Where was the concern by the press then?
I agree.
The day after the election I had lunch with some friends who were worrying about what would and could happen before the inauguration.
I told them not to worry because Trump was in charge.
:-)
Watching this live is even better than the movie will be!
I expect Obama to have a podium with a seal for “Office of President Emeritus”.
Amen!
All this includes Trump’s use of social media to communicate his thoughts and intentions directly to his constituents. Thereby he goes over the heads of the MSM, eliminates their lying, leftward-biased filter and their mendacious twisting of what he says and does.
Didn’t Obama set up an Office of the President Elect complete with seal?
