Here are my thoughts. President-Elect Trump likes to get perspective before making decisions and likes asking probing questions to get the best idea of how things work. He probably asked a lot of questions about scope, etc that Obama didn’t bother to ask. Someone who assumes and doesn’t ask a lot of questions could easily come to the conclusion that he didn’t realize the scope. I am betting he understands the scope and he is trying to the perspective of the most immediate person who has dealt with it.
I think the subdued president-elect we are seeing is the “behind the scenes” Trump, the one who rolls up his sleeves and makes decisions. I think he understands the weight that is on his shoulders and is being purposeful with every step now.
Precisely !
Thanks for posting Rush’s transcript. Very interest theory on why Trump is being conciliatory. It is a dangerous time.
“Who’s putting this crap out? The Wall Street Journal?”
Classic.
Trump is being as sly as a Fox and keeping his cards close to his vest. He has on his poker face.
I agree. The Trump I saw sitting next to Obama is the business man who makes pragmatic decisions, doesn’t fight battles that don’t benefit him and knows he gets no benefit from humiliating Obama.
I can buy that Trump might not have known at one point. Probably didn’t know. But not after all this time with people like Reince and Gingrich and Sessions around him
Obama knows he will go down as a failure. He’s tired, wants out of DC and to be able to retire to the golf course. Soros is putting pressure on him to declare martial law and announce the election results null and void, but I don’t believe Obama has the energy or the will to participate in that fight anymore.
Trump and Obama clearly made a deal at their meeting last week - as long as Obama ensures an orderly transition of power, Trump will allow him to live his life in peace. It will be the Clintons, Bushes and Soros who face criminal charges.
The 4k positions in the west wing were in trumps transition web site the day after the election!
Players play! Making nice with everyone and letting them be part of it. Trump might be the best politician he have had in this country for a very long time. Keep your enemies close.....
He did not forget his agenda or the pissed off people that voted for him. He is playing politik like a master pianist, and it is very enjoyable to watch!
‘And I’m sure that they were overwhelmed with joy and happiness and the sense of achievement and accomplishment. They perhaps more than anybody, Obama and Hillary, the Democrat leadership, perhaps more than anybody was sitting there confident that they were on the verge of actually doing it, actually taking this country away from the majority of people and the founding principles and transforming this country into something that nobody who founded it ever intended it to be’
Was Rush saying this before the election?
He thought CRUZ and the GOP turtles (who hate Cruz) were going to succeed against hillaryobama?
Trumpists, as Rush used to deride the trump supporters with, certainly were aware of this
Trump is doing whatever is neccessary to be in control, and play it cool.
I believe rush is spot on, only because when he sat with Obama after their meeting the look on trumps face was disgust and the same look when he was with Ryan, January 21st the party starts
Exactly
You said it better than I did.
Thank You! Blessings to you and yours as well!!!
I think Trump/Rush have a point. Now is the time to allay fears, not the time to act.
Obama and Hillary are part of the cabal that is organizing violence. Hillary is a spoiled loser blaming everyone but herself. According to headlines, Bernie Sanders has already challenged her effort to blame it all on the FBI Director. If Trump can flatter/schmooze Obama (who never liked Hillary), it may do a lot of good in quieting the mob.
