President-elect Donald J. Trump denied Wednesday morning that his transition is in disarray, assailing news media reports about firings and infighting and insisting in an early-morning Twitter burst that everything is going so smoothly.
But legal and procedural delays by Mr. Trumps transition team continued on Wednesday, all but freezing the traditional handoff of critical information from the current administration more than a week after Mr. Trump won the presidential election.
The president-elect criticized a report in The New York Times about his early telephone contacts with foreign leaders. In a post on Twitter, he said he had made and received calls from many foreign leaders despite what the failing @nytimes said. Russia, U.K., China, Saudi Arabia, Japan.
In fact, The Times reported that Mr. Trump had taken calls from the leaders of Egypt, Israel, Russia and Britain, but said they had been conducted haphazardly and without State Department briefings that traditionally guide conversations with foreign leaders.

I really doubt Mr. Trump used the word "haphazardly" to describe his interactions with international leaders.
Ignorance from the propaganda arm of the DNC.
That’s the media spin, meaning prolly something like Donald didn’t heed their ideas of the proper way to do it.
Throughout the campaign, the MSM repeatedly informed us that Trump’s campaign was “in chaos,” or “in turmoil,” or “melting down,” or “off message,” yet he won. Why should anyone take seriously the crap coming from the NYT in particular or the MSM in general?
“He received phone calls from world leaders BUT HE DIDNT DO IT THE *RIGHT* WAY so there he's just awful...”
You can just picture them stomping their feet as they say this stuff.
He didn't. That was the NYT description.
A surprisingly informative and balanced NYT article!
The way they worded the sentence made it seem like he had used that word, not them.
These are the same people who said the campaign was in disarray and Trump had no path to victory. So, yeah, complete BS.
I am waiting for updates of how many empty alcohol bottles, pill bottles, and broken lamps are being hauled from the Clinton place every day. I guess the mean media is spending so much time and effort covering Trump's impending failure they don't have time for Hillary. At least she has Bill to provide comfort in her time of need.
IN 1 week the idiot liberals think everything should be settled. Liberals are petulant children.
Chinese officials put out a statement that in their talk W/ President Trump, he was “diplomatically perfect.”
Despite its revent spate of apologies and expressions of wishes to start over on a more honest footing after its endless notorious lies during the campaign, the NYT lies again to take a gratuitous slap at Trump.
Clearly the owners and editors are determined to make this rag into nothing more than Manhattan birdcage liner.
Yea, and Trump went out to have dinner with his family, and he didn’t tell us! Waaaaa!
Elsewhere in all the news that is fit to print:
Donald Trump consistently ties his shoelaces in a haphazard way, in great contrast to the perfectly-creased and double-tied shoelaces that have been a hallmark of the Obama Administration.
A spokesperson for Team Trump has asserted that they will be looking into better ways for the President-Elect to guarantee that his shoes do not come off at a critical juncture during affairs of state after he formally takes office.
Lindsey Graham expressed his doubt that things will improve upon Donald Trump’s assumption of office.
