Chris Wallace: Donald Trump Is Acting Like He Is "Kind Of The Commander-in-Chief Already
Real Clear Politics ^ | December 9, 2016 | Tim Hains

'Fox News Sunday' host Chris Wallace told network anchor Shep Smith on Friday that it looks to him like Donald Trump is effectively the president already. Wallace said that Trump has done so much more than president-elects generally do before their term begins that he is giving off the impression that Barack Obama has retired early.

"He’s almost more the president than the president is," Wallace said.

"He’s not waiting until he actually takes the oath of office on January 20th," he concluded. "He’s kind of the Commander-in-Chief already."

Trump visited victims of last week's terrorist attack at Ohio State University yesterday and attended a campaign rally for a Louisiana Senate runoff candidate today....

We’ve had a vacuum for eight years.

Jug Ears’s inaction adds to a record being, basically, eight years of dithering and “nothingness.” DJT seems to be a dynamo and person of action.

Did he mean that in a positive light or negative one? I trust Chris Wallace just about as much as his father.

Barack went further with his press breifings. He had official-looking signs that said, “Office of the President-Elect.”

I always got a chuckle out of that. It’s as if one of the Little Rascals somehow won the White House.

We have had a vacuum since 12:01 p.m. Eastern Standard Time January 20th 1989.

But, Barry was the hope of the world. He was “The Won.”

Gah! I remember that stupid Office of the President Elect seal. Could he have been more pretentious?

Trump is just doing what Trump does—working. We’re just used to having a derelict in the White House.

Does. Chris expect Trump to quietly hide out in his office until Inauguration Day? I like that Trump is ignoring all of the foolishness swirling around and focusing on the job.

The media elites conveniently forget the usurper in chief and his self promoting “seal”.

"....DJT seems to be is a dynamo and person of action...".

There is no "seems to be" about DJT. He is a Type-A for sure.

Let’s just move the inauguration up to Dec 20th. I’m sure Obama’s itching to get out on the golf course with his buddies more anyway.

Then we can have a really MERRY merry Christmas!

Trump is a piker when it comes to overstepping the bounds of president elect. He doesn’t even have a president elect seal on his podium.

Nature abhors a vacuum.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Yes, Trump is vacuumed into the office but the source of the vacuum?

The vacuum source is called the dust bin of history ( the crapper). Obama is being sucked into it along with his fellow utopian liberal fascists.One is reminded of the wicked Witch of the Wests cry, “ I am meltinnnnnnnnnnnnnng!”

Never again will America elect a treasonous unAmerican nationalist socialist to the Office of President.That’s the Obama legacy.

Yeah, I'm with you. When President Trump is in office, how much will they bitch when he plays golf?
