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.)

You can keep saying that all you want.
Doesn't change the fact that YES...ALL President Elect and staff during transition start putting their plans in place for what will be happening a few days away when they take power.
Pres. Obama did it (sent his people straight to Moscow for meetings while the election was still going on), Bush did it, Clinton did it...keep going back all the way to when Pres. Adams succeeded Pres. Washington
Nobody is saying that there isn't only one President at a time.
What I'm saying is that you would be an IDIOT to NOT get prepared for an important job like taking over the U.S. govt.
Are you really, really wanting to look this silly just for the sake of arguing? Jesus Christ...I know you aren't dumb. So you have to be doing this just to argue I suppose.
But man, it looks bad.
You're making yourself look weak and "snowflake-ish" with this kind of argument. I doubt very seriously that is your intent...but I can only tell you how it appears to me.
You seem to side with the people who are soft in this world. I don't think that's who you really are.
