It would be easy to see the Trump-Obama transition as a mess for the president-elect. He continues to face criticism for his extraordinary breach of traditional financial disclosure norms, not only failing to release his taxes but making only the cursory moves toward separating himself from his businesses. Trump has had to contend with an imbroglio over an unconfirmed dossier assembled by his political opponents. His poll numbers are low for a president-elect, with only a minority Americans thinking his transition is going well. The mainstream media is shocked, shocked that many of Trump’s cabinet nominees oppose some of his policies, like a return to waterboarding and building a wall with Mexico.
And yet...Trump is getting what he wants. It’s unlikely any of his cabinet nominees will be rejected by the U.S. Senate. The most endangered among them, Rex Tillerson, the ExxonMobil CEO that Trump wants to be secretary of state, is more likely to prevail than not. Jeff Sessions, the Alabama senator who has been nominated to be attorney general, has no Republican opponents in the U.S. Senate, despite ferocious criticism from mainstream civil rights groups. Other nominees have had cordial hearings and avoided gaffes. Retired Gen James “Mad Dog” Mattis was well received by the Senate Armed Services Committee as was Retired Gen. John Kelly by the Committee on Homeland Security. They will easily become defense secretary and Homeland Security secretary, respectively. CIA Director nominee Mike Pompeo was well received.

A sun shines.
Trump wins.
Oceans roar.
He nededs to be at war with the media every day. No quarter from these leftists and their media pals. He can be one of the true greats.
If the transition isn’t going well, then look no further than the roadblocks and landmines of the unpatriotic, racist partisans in Congress and the Obama Administation . . . along with their laptops in the media.
He’s made some great appointments, quite alike the affirmative action Jackson incompetents that hilLIAR would have chosen (and can’t you just picture an ignorant media just fawning over these losers?). Jobs are coming back home. People are stoked. If the crybabies can’t handle it, MOVE. Yeah, they threaten but they’re just showing up what lying hypocrites they really are
I can’t wait for Friday! Liberation Day!!
Don’t kid yourself: Trump is a winner.
That’s why he’s winning.
unpatriotic, racist partisans in Congress and the Obama Administation . . . along with their laptops in the media.

Lapdogs in the media perhaps?
Not to mention the Democrats in R jerseys like McCain, Graham, Rubio, Sasse, etc.
“...but making only the cursory moves toward separating himself from his businesses.”What a moronic characterization. Trump held a press conference, a significant portion of which, involved one of his lawyers describing in great detail the options available, why they chose the one they did, and how they are implementing measures above and beyond what is legally required. While she talking, his lawyer stood beside a table full of legal documents representing tens, if not hundreds of thousands of dollars of cost and effort toward that end.
sure wouldn’t want to be a resident of SC, FL, NE, or AZ if Tillerson is not confirmed as trump’s SOS
Clinton openly said the clintons would not divest from the money laundering... er, foundation.
Media needs to STFU.
I keep hearing in my mind CNN, Corey Booker and the House Democrats, big Pharma and Merle Streep and Hollywood singing: “I fought the Trump and the Trump won, I fought the Trump and the Trump won...”

Is there any doubt what the left would do if no one opposed them; Christians, conservatives and maybe a few libertarians would be completely done away with...
the left has taken big education, big media, Hollywood, all the positions of power in all gov agencies, a large proportion of federal and local judgeships, and the phony image of “I care more than you” (blech); except for state governorships and state houses and Donald J Trump they would have complete monopoly on all power both cultural and political... god has given us a little time here folks, DO NOT WASTE IT!!!

Isn’t Matt Cooper married to that hideous human being, Mandy Gruenwald, who is a Hillary sycophant?
I thought the transition was going swimmingly. The man works 27 hours a day, he’s hand picked an extraordinary team in a very abbreviated time period. He’s done some amazingly creative thinking about putting people in positions where they can really upend the old guard.
So we’re supposed to believe it’s a hot mess because the Left is engaged in an endless tantrum? Trump is just too non nurturing?

The more disruption the left causes the more confidant we can be that we made the correct choice.
So, bring it on.
“traditional financial disclosure norms”
Leftists finally discover a concern for tradition, I see, at least when they want to invent one.
Hey, Matt, ‘do you hear the people sing’? Trump is ‘we the people’ not the corrupt political establishment.
Bad polls for Trump? You dont say! They were bad for the election too!
It almost looks as if Trump is trolling liberals and MSM to distract them. While they are preoccupied with “Russian hacking” and his attacks on MSM, his cabinet members sail through confirmation hearings and his policy is being finalized for implementation.
