...Has the SS changed or added to his pilots?...

His pilots have apparently been dedicated to flying him safely and being good employees. Donald does not allow good people who serve him well to be discarded like burned out spark plugs when they’re not.

Trump is not stupid. He knows how to deal with snakes and liars and two-faced punks. Obama is small potatoes compared to what Trump has faced in his 40 years of the real business world.

My concern is that he replace the Obama generals in our military with winners.

Trump should not trust a word Obama says.

Obama is a liar and trying to sabotage Trump's presidency.

Trump should tell Obama to provide him with:

1. All the information on the so called Iran “Deal” including all information on the billions of dollars illegally given to Iran.

2. All information on the secret arms dealing in Libya and the murder of U.S. personnel.

3. All information on arming and assisting Mexican drug cartels.

4. All secret deals with Chinese communists.

5. All secret Muslim Brotherhood infiltration of the U.S. government.

6. All secret communications with the IRS about abusing ordinary citizens.

7. All secret deals with the Department of Veterans Affairs about mistreating our veterans.

8. all secret communications with Soros.

9. All secret deals with ISIS and other groups in the middle east.

10. All State Department memos regarding the Clinton Foundation immediately.

11. All information about Loretta Lynch's secret meeting with Clinton.

Good point, unlike with the grifter Clintons, with Obama it’s more what he might leave behind than what he might steal.

I would suspect his children, and executives who will operate his businessses will use the Trump plane. Obviously, he has wonderful pilots and would trust his family with no less than the best. The Trump plane will be historical.

Heh....good one.

Trump should tell Obama: “Just have your ass out of the White
House by 12:01 on January 20, or your stuff goes out to the curb.”

That is why I said 'added' as I can see adding an 'Air Force 1' rated pilot into the cockpit for familiarity with Joint Base Andrews and other military coordination. However, once we get to 20 January, they will NOT be flying him, so they will probably be assigned to flying Trump executives instead.

Get ready for it, liberal press will start with the “can we just move on from EmailGate to heal the country”? The fight has just begun.

I would love another photo of the first cow

Please, no more pictures of that disgusting excuse of a human being. It's gross. Second to that is O'Dummy's speech patterns. He's a horrible speaker, which is why I could never endure his speeches for more that a few seconds at a time.

Does Trump get to use the ‘official Office of the President Elect’ seal?

Will it be the same mope to display it in front of him as he walks?

I doubt Mr. Trump will be flying in his 757 much longer, as we ALL know any aircraft the POTUS is in becomes Air Force One, but the stark reality is this, Trumps aircraft are not suited to deal with terrorist events.

Likewise Mr. Trump should limit his stay at Trump Tower, just the imposed flight restrictions alone become a major problem.

I sincerely wish for him to rest, relax, enjoy some free time at Mar A Lago. He undoubtedly deserves it!

Just watching Varney on Fox Business and got this little addendum that answers a bit of this. Donald Trump is currently referred to as "President Designate" until the Electoral College meets and officially elects him. This apparently is (this year) 19 December when the Electors sign their ballots to send to DC. Then DJT becomes "President Elect" until he is sworn in on Inauguration Day, at which time his title becomes the simple "POTUS"! So I guess that means he is now "PDOTUS" to become "PEOTUS" (smile!)

I bet BO promises NOT to pardon the Clintons and their ilk in exchange for not overturning his EOs.
