Trump now says he admires Obama and really likes the guy . . .

I'm sure Obama is a nice enough guy to talk with in private. He's obviously a very engaging speaker. Time will tell if he was as gracious as the press is promoting during the transition... or if he influenced Trump.

In the mean time... almost everything is talkingpoints and speculation.

First he meets with Al Gore and then appoints his exact opposite to head the EPA. One of the tools in his bag of tricks is to keep everyone guessing. So far he has succeeded with this tactic. When the confusion is over we find we are left with unqualified people like Carson for HUD or people who have been completely opposed to the mission of the agency they've been chosen to run like the choices for the Department of Education and now the EPA.

First we are guessing and confused and then some of us at least are resigned to his awful choices.

I'm sure Lady Gaga wouldn't invite the comparison. She is actually a very talented musician. I can't say the same for Trump's statesmanship...unless it happened to be Opposite Day...or I was lying.

In fact, it appears to me that he's assembling (or has already assembled) the worst imaginable group of people to "lead". And I really do believe he fits the profile of a sociopath. BTW, Joe has been advising Trump on the QT.
