Just ridiculous. Every person that Drumpf had picked while in transition would have been complete idiots to not be working ahead of time so they could hit the ground running on day one.
But you already know that. You're just posting this stuff endlessly to troll and argue with people.
Also you aren't even talking about how Pres. Obama as a "lame duck" put sanctions on Russia in his last week in office. THAT really is unheard of and "new".
And it was very deliberately done to knee-cap Trump in his first weeks in office.
No way in hell Obama would have done that if Hillary had won the election. He's a shrewd politician, and did something that he knew would slow Trump down from dismantling the Obama "legacy".

We have one government at any time, not two. One president, not two. The president elect is just that, the president elect, and has zero power. None at all. Nor can he negotiate on behalf of the President.
Why is it your only defense is going to back to something Obama did? Or Hillary? Trump does something bad and all you want to talk about is Obama and Clinton.
You don't think it's completely inappropriate for the President Elect to call up leaders of a foreign country and start an international incident by destroying a decades long position on "One China". (In his defense, he most likely had no fucking clue such a policy existed because he has never worked in government before.)
