Discussion: Trump: I Have Sought Obama's Advice On Cabinet Appointments

I believe Obama is so intent on trying to save something in America that he doesn’t comprehend how Trump is using him for political cover… Sad, that; very sad.

Relying on the advice of a gay Kenyan Muslim Socialist Communist? SAD!

“I take his recommendations very seriously. And there are some people
that I will be appointing, and in one case have appointed, where he
thought very highly of that person.”

Any thoughts on who the one is? I’m guessing Mattis—seemed way too well-reasoned and intellectual compared with the others.

I’m guessing he didn’t seek Obama’s counsel on Carson, Flynn or Sessions.

I wonder how this will play with all the rubes that Trump spent months convincing that Obama is evil incarnate.

I’m sure Obama appreciates Time’s Idiot of the Year making him culpable for his mistakes.

It’s not that he doesn’t comprehend it, he just doesn’t care. What’s more important, Pepe’s failing attempts to use Obama or trying to save America from her fool self?

POS POETUS: So, what do you think about John Bolton for Secretary of State?
BHO: Well, he might be a good match for you Donald.

If true, and I don’t believe it is, I wonder which of these miscreants Obama thought highly of?

Obama should call out this B.S.

Clearly he’s ignoring Obama’s advice. I can’t think of anyone on Trump’s list that wouldn’t make Obama throw up.

Consider the source. Pepe lies and lies and lies with absolute impunity. President may have said So and So is a “good guy, but he’s a terrible choice for the job”, or the president may have said, “these people are awful, terrible human beings who should be shot on sight if caught anywhere near the levers of power”. It’s hard to say because each scenario is equally probable.

Clever move by Trump. I can’t imagine which person Obama approves that Trump has recommended for a position. It’s difficult for Obama to contradict Trump. Honestly, this is the first sign of (low cunning) intelligence I have ever seen from Trump. Oh well, he didn’t get where he is without some skills.

… I suppose J. Earnest could disclose which one Obama liked—if there was one. This will give the message.

I can’t disagree. Perhaps it will bring clarity. And let’s hope we don’t forget the lessons.

Obama is not being “used.”

Please, he’s smarter than that.
