Very disappointed Trump caved to the pretentious grand-standing of Uhbama with the podium - “Office of the President-Elect”.

Just stated to my DH the other day that he HASN’T pulled this garbage as pretentious imperial Uhbama did in 2008-9. Guess I spoke too soon. Never before had a PE dared to pretend there was some “office of” much less keep mouthing off behind podium with the logo.

Are you serious? You really think Trump is grand-standing by acknowledging he is the President-Elect?

I take it as a jab at Obama, since he was the first to ever use it. Recall how Obama called Trump out at some dinner and proclaimed 'I am the president'. Then the mic drop thing.

Haven’t all PEs done that? It’s the official title between certification and inauguration. He has to be identified in some way. I think it was Obama’s pretentious logo that set us off.

“Office of the President-Elect”.

May have done it just to tweak obama’s nose

“with the podium - “Office of the President-Elect”

Disappointing, yes. But in the scheme of things, not that big a deal. The oress conference was brilliant. Trump was brilliant! That’s all that matters.
