Donald Trump is taking advice from President Obama about his cabinet appointments, the president-elect revealed on Wednesday.

“We have a really good chemistry together. I really like him as a person,” Trump told NBC’s Matt Lauer on the “Today” show.

Asked if he talked to the president about possible appointments, Trump responded: “I have asked him what he would think of this one and that one. We have a very good dialogue.”

He continued to kvell: “I do like him. I love getting his ideas. I take his recommendations very seriously. There are some people I will be appointing and I have appointed that he thought very highly of that person.”

Trump wouldn’t reveal more details — or which specific appointments have been discussed.

But the president-elect said to expects his secretary of state appointment to come next week.

Like what you do there -Ha ha
Great play on words. Legacy resides only in BO’Bs tormented mind and BO’B will be forced to evict this image soon enough.

America made on LARGE mistake when BO’B was elected. If ever there was a need for ‘RESET’, this would be it.

If Trump wants to demoralize his base he can keep pandering to Obama.

Not sure what BS you mean. This article is quoting Trump.

I don’t know if this is standard during transitions.

Trump is astoundingly politic, when he needs to be.

This.

Make nice to the current king, until you get your crown.

Well let us hope and pray that Trump is not too clever by half.

Wow, you must be a “glass is empty” when it’s actually full kind of person.

People who actually support Trump can see he is not being combative while Odumbo still has ALL the powers of the presidency.

Art of the Deal in action. Enjoy! Be happy the good guys won & continue to win just as Trump promised.

It’s kind of what I do on Sunday mornings. I call my friend and ask him who he likes in that days football games. When he tells me who he likes to win I bet the opposite. Make money almost every Sunday.

This doesn’t upset me at all. Trump is now an initiate in the rarefied “presidents club.” In some respects there are only a handful of men on earth who can give him the input he needs. He would be a fool to ignore any of them. And he’s no fool.

Haha the Donald is a master. Blowing smoke up Obama’s butt so he won’t interfere or make waves and the press laps it up.

Exactly. Trump is GOING to be President. There's no gain at all in pissing off Obama. In fact there's a chance to lose leverage if he does that.

I listened to what trump had to say at Fayetteville last night. sounded like a complete rejection of every position Obama took during his time in office.
I have no problem with Trump’s remarks regarding Obama.

Yeah.

It’s better than “Just pack your stuff and git.” I do like that sentence, though.
