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.

They just make shit up out of whole cloth these days.
So, after a few months and things are going well, Trump can say, “Gee, I’m doing better than the so-called expert that the lamestream media claimed Obama to be!”
The media has not “changed” and will not be fair to Trump.
The media has doubled down on their lies and distortions as they amp up their constant negative attacks on Trump.
Yeah, he wasn't aware that the job entailed playing golf every other day, or taking long, expensive vacations repeatedly.
All the more reason for Trump to go for the jugular.
Feast, or be feasted upon. I have every confidence he knows this.
Trump already knows how to play golf and pretty good from what I hear.
The msm will be all over it every time he flies off to NYC and Florida. Never mind those are his homes which don’t cost the taxpayers like everytime 0 wanted to get out.
We used to watch LBJ fly in with about 4 helicopters all the time here in Central Texas. I don’t remember the msm losing their minds on him coming home.
BS....Again...my feeling. The media have no news....so as usual....they make it up!!
What a crock of baloney this article is!
“seemed surprised”. Let’s have a source on that. And while you’re at it, define exactly what you mean by “seemed surprised.” Did he raise an eyebrow at some remark? (would surprise me if he did, but probably not for the reason some leftist would assume).
I remember when the Old Corrupt Media made excuses for Carter, saying the presidency had grown too large for one man to handle, and Carter was managing the White House tennis court schedule.
None of the MSM wanted to talk about the 2008 President Elect “O” presence at the ‘economic’ emergency meeting with McCain, Bush and others.
It is said that he acted like a bumbling moron, and looked like a ‘deer in the headlights’ at that meeting. Clearly OUT OF HIS ELEMENT- and showing it!
The MSM is the Country’s greatest threat.
Yahoo News what a fitting name. :)
He probably didn't realized there was so much golfing involved.
FTA: Obama reportedly will spend more time counseling Trump about the presidency than most presidents do with their successors.
Hahahahahahahahaha!
In your dreams leftists. 0vomit might want to flap his gums because he loves to hear himself talk. (uh, uh, uh). But the idea that the least qualified, least accomplished person ever to be put into that office giving advice is hilarious. Post turtle 0vomit giving “counseling”. What a laugh.
Yeah, and Obama had a total idea of what the job of the president entailed when this community organizer was elected. Tell me about it.
I’m unfamiliar, too! Doesn’t golfing and stuttering like an idiot cover the scope of what he does?
A complete lie, pushed again by 59 minutes last night.
I don’t believe this at all
