It’d be an understatement to say that Donald Trump isn’t exactly prepared for the task at hand. And we already know
that he “didn’t want to jinx himself” with too much preparation
pre-win. According to a source closely connected to the Trump transition
team, though, the reality of the situation is worse than we might have
feared. Apparently—as the Wall Street Journal has reported—Trump and his team really are just now learning what a president is even technically allowed to do.
Immediately after Tuesday’s election, members of Trump’s team were
given the task of readying the president-elect for his transition to the
White House. But in the hours-long meetings that followed, outside
advisors tasked with helping the team were horrified to learn just how
little the people getting ready to run the federal government actually
knew.
“They are blatantly unprepared and don’t really have any
sort of plan at all so far,” our source told us. “The best illustration
is there were no prepared policy statements or papers. Whereas in 2012
Romney’s team had hundreds of pages worth of federal policy transitions
planned and written out, Trump’s team had (as of Wednesday) literally no
pages.
“Also his team’s grasp of federal powers is fairly paltry. They had
hours long meetings with outside advisors to figure out what could and
couldn’t be delegated to Pence, what the president could do
unilaterally, etc. One of Trump’s advisors said as recently as last
weekend that they were planning on what to do after the election with
the assumption that Trump would lose, and had no real plan for a
victory.”
Is anyone really surprised by this? Let’s be honest, there is literally no one I mean NO ONE believe Trump would win, not the Republican party, not the Democrat party, not the pollsters, not the media, not his supporters, not his family, not even Trump himself ever thought he could win, not a chance, not a fucking prayer! But thanks to Electoral College, the unthinkable, the unbelievable just happened and that directly resulted in the totally unprepared Trump and his administration we are seeing today!
