President-elect Donald Trump celebrated his status as a Washington outsider during his campaign for the presidency, but his lack of familiarity with the US government appears to be coming into view as he transitions to the White House.

During Trump's private meeting with President Barack Obama on Thursday, Trump "seemed surprised" by the scope of the president's responsibilities, according to a report from The Wall Street Journal.

Trump's aides were also apparently unaware that the entire staff of the president working in the White House's West Wing would need to be replaced, according to The Journal.

It’s Yahoo news. They are psychotic. Believe nothing they write.

[TTFlyer]

Ignore the Media.

[Raebie]

And who exactly is the source for this story?

Lol.

[Artcore]

Yeah sure thing! And Barack Obama’s community agitator made him more than qualified to be POTUS. What a bunch of b.s.!

[SJSAMPLE]

Obama’s EOs confirm that he has no idea about the scope of that job.

[rktman]

LOL! Geez. I wish I would have voted for hildabeast in that case. Said no one ever.

The Trump's aides had no idea the entire White House west Wing would have to be replaced

Total BS

Anyone who believes Trump is going to keep any of Obama’s staffers in the West Wing is totally brain dead.

First off, those the the most coveted jobs in Washington and competition for them is fierce.

Second, no way is Trump going tot keep Obama partisans on his staff to sabotage his administration.

“...scope of the president’s responsibilities” - almost all of which Obama either ignored or bastardized for his own purposes. Besides which, Yahoo “News” is at least as stilted and partisan as any in the country.

“seemed surprised”

Now they are just making things up.

Utter and complete MSM misinformation

I agree. Does anybody really believe that the people surrounding President Elect Trump who are senators, governors, a former speaker of the house of representatives, and the head of the Republican Party don't know the job description of the President?

That's a ridiculous idea.

[Obadiah]

I believe you meant disinformation.

[Madame Dufarge]

I'm going to go out on a limb here and assume that Trump, at the very least, can distinguish a window from a door.

Barack Obama mistakes a window for a door at the White House

[freeandfreezing]

I just hope they don’t have to take the drywall down to the studs - could get messy.

Are you kidding, Trump's crew will probably rebuild the whole place and add a couple of floors before inauguration day.

[Political Junkie Too]

Just like how George H.W. Bush was "surprised" about grocery store scanners at the register, when he was really remarking on the technology's ability to read the bar codes from any angle.

[Redleg Duke]

The MSM continues to try and create, rather than report the news.

[DennisR]

You forgot about golfing...

[proust]

I was waiting for Obama’s camp to leak some garbage. This narrative will be repeated for the next few years as a talking point.

[Religion and Politics]

Oh boy, are we in deep doo doo now that we have voted ignorantly and didn’t contemplate the consequences. /sarc
