I mean if I showed up tomorrow in DC and was given the keys to the White House, I think I'd have more of a clue about how to run a "presidency" than this group of nitwits. But, I'm not a narcissistic idiot either, I would be on the phone immediately with Barack and W and Clinton doing as much research and digging for as much advice as I could! This cabal figured that showing up and ruling by fiat would equate to being "Presidential"....hell, Trump was astonished when Obama informed him that he would have to hire folks to run the West Wing!!!

Trump has not called Obama since Inauguration Day. Not once. Other presidents were regularly in contact with their predecessors. Trump is arrogant and ignorant and is unable to seek counsel.
