He is surrounding himself with like minded people. He would not take kindly to having anyone that would question him or his actions. Not sure if he is able to truly take advice..and would most likely like t o rn things as a bushiness.... or /and by the seat of his pants. He may be rich. and has left a massive footprint in manyh places.but he is not an ethical person ....let alone unbiased. His partially and strong opinions do not allow for objectivity. .something essential in that job.

It is concerning to think that this rogue like personality will have the keys to the most destructive weapons on the planet. The job is not for the erratic or selfish or narcissistic or immature. (let alone someone that is a power junkie)

He is not a person with good impulse control. ..all one has to do i s look at his tweets. Very reactive The evidence is there.

I think he will take advice from those he deems to know what they are talking about. I think he recognizes expertise in people who have it. He took a sudden 180 when he met for a chat with Obama.

How so? We need examples of that........

If you watched the news you would have seen he went from being combative (in the debates) to being conciliatory and listened to what Obama had to say in a civil manner. His "15 minute meeting" lasted 13/4 hours and he left saying he would be visiting Obama again. I didn't have any trouble deciphering that!

Obama is lucky Trump didn't ask him to have the chair dry-cleaned before the switch takes place.

Trump will probably hae the white house fumigated before he moves in. He sees the whitehouse as downgrading his lifestyle. From what has been revealed: he plans to spend a lot of time at his own Hotel that is near by. To be sure he will have a "justification" for his actions. Just stay tuned on Twitter. Twitter is his Press converence forum. Strange how he can do no wrong by his supporters. The chap has a problem with boundaries .for himself. but is happy to dictate same to others. Gets rather peevish when confronted or criticized. One gets the impression he is goin g to do most of his "governing" via twitter. (Gosh.FAcebook must feel so left ou;t ;Sadly he has NO sense of humor .and being able to laugh at himself... Well. Not a chance.Gotta wonder ho w he will find time to govern....as it will take time from his outbursts on Twiter. Being Presidentila is not in his behavior scale. IF he has to aACT presidential.then he is NOT.and cannot be so.
Will be very interesting to watch a dictator wannabe to the south of us. He is drunk on his new powers already..and does not even have the keys.

Isn't it great to see the swamp getting drained?
Outsiders with proven expertise in their fields will be a tremendous improvement over the old closed political circle and their cronies who thought they knew best and were running the country into the ground with their self-serving policies.

What outsiders? Newt Gingrich, a career politician? Rudolph Guiliani another career politician? MNuchin - A Wall Street insider? Mitt Romney - part of the Republican establishment.

Check over the list - there is hardly an outsider anywhere - the only appointment that comes close is Steve Bannon.

Would it be better to appoint a bunch of politicians who don't know diddly-squat about running business? Like our Canadian Government?
When you get people who have never done anything successful outside of politicking running the country you can't expect anything but failure.
Trump's wealthy nominees are wealthy because they know how to succeed. When they put their know-how toward running government affairs they will do a good job.

Trump said no more insiders to control the Washington DC scene. He's gone back on his word even before he got into the White Wash House. The next 4 years should be very interesting, assuming the world survives the times ahead. ;)

That is true. Perhaps it should be turned over to the homeless for the duration. Not at all, he clears up his mistakes. What attracts people is his quick comebacks, that is the sign of an honest man, a liar has to practice his lines so his other lies don't get exposed. Why does that have to be explained to you?

Quick comeback style is NOT a sign of an honest person. It IS a sign of a master manipulator. Someone that can twist another persons words to make himself be right in his own eyes. He does not tell it as it is.he tells it as HE sees it. Trump and honesty are total strangers. His so called college is a blatant example of his character trait. Integrity and Trump don't belong in the same sentence.Seems that some folks like those kind of characteristics i j their leader.

Nah, Trump's bark is much worse than his bite. Just be thankful the alternative didn't get elected.

Dr. Ben Carson.. will be nominated as Secretary for Housing and Urban Development. He is a renouned pediatric neurosurgeon and a soft spoken and uncoventional thinker. Certainly the state of America's inner cities needs some fresh thought. I can't find many people who don't speak highly of him.

For a soft-spoken and unconventional thinker, he sure is a pointy headed moron. He is also potentially an enemy of our country.

SDA'S have an interesting theology relative to the United States. I wonder how devoted Mister Carson is to his religion.
