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.

Obama was, Bush was, and Trump is. Nobody could be anything but shocked at the scope of being president. Completely normal.

Bullcrap - I think Trump will try and do more with less like any business. There is no need for Trump to replace 4000+ jobs. Watch him have a much smaller staff.

I call total BS on this. So the Media will continue to make up and fabricate stories on Trump.

The staff doesn’t have to be replaced.

Still the “Sarah Palin...er, Donald Trump is SO stupid” meme is already old.

What about the travel office?

Freepers are probably the only ones who remember that vile piece of butchery by Hillary. That one act alone should have permanently disqualified her from ever serving a public position.

Right Yahoo, Drain the Swamp surely meant that Trump wants to keep all those currently in the WH and DC in place. /s

Their lies and stupidity knows no bounds.

The White Hut can likely be run with less than half of the current staff. Especially all of The Moose’s slaves/servants.

"Seemed surprised..."

Seemed may likely presumably..., all verbs and adjectives that are injected to prove that the MSM have know idea what they are talking about.

Classic Dem playbook.
The racist/sexist thing didn’t work to keep him out of office - now that he’s is its time to go with the idiot meme.
It’s gets boring after a while, it’s so predictable.

Well, that’s it then. This is surely the beginning of the end of the Trump presidency

This is pure nonsense. Why would Trump want to keep even one of them? More media BS.

POPCORN! POPCORN Need more POPCORN!

Watch, President Donald Trump (I never get tired of saying or writing that!) will probably need only half of the current staffing level to run the Whitehouse. With the money saved, he will probably build that ballroom. :-)

The place no doubt needs complete fumigation, I just hope they don’t have to take the drywall down to the studs - could get messy.

Sad that what passes for “journalism” keeps reporting this tripe. I guarantee Zero was more surprised that being president was a real JOB in 2008 when he met with Bush than Trump was.
