I think it is horrendous and so small/petty that Donny can't shut his mouth and his twitter feed until January 20th regarding affairs that are still the purview of BO and his administration. This has been a time honored tradition but as usual this man child just can't help himself and is weighing in on things and making policy declarations that are neither helpful or have any consequence as long as BO is the occupant of the WH.

Wait your turn Donny as you will be in over your head soon enough!

Do you think BO will honor tradition and not criticize the future president?

-----------------------------

To be brutally honest... Trump is representative of a WIDE swath of America. Have you read the claptrap people say on Twitter these days? Trump fits right in. It is who we are as a nation right now.

Many of us don't want Trump posting what he posts - but we (collectively speaking) will keep right on tweeting whenever we get offended.

YEah and the slime ball Obuma was the one who commented he could have defeated Trump in an election.
It takes two to tango. Don't let the facts get in the way.

Memo to Liberals; You still lost!

Just pack your crap Obuma and get the hell out!!!

He lost the popular vote by 3 million and barely defeated a flawed candidate. He has no mandate and no broad popular appeal but rather is the choice of a narrow and bitter slice of the population that was conned.

The fact that he is the least popular president elect EVER says all you need to know.

He was asked the question and he gave the CORRECT answer.

I think it's disgusting and totally unbecoming of an outgoing POTUS that he is doing his level best to sabotage his successor in anyway he can. It shows he is a mere child, who rose to a position he was not mature enough to handle.

Trump has every right to be articulating his position on issues in advance of his official swearing in. There is no protocol that prohibits or discourages it, and especially in the case of Obama's preemptive move against Israel, with only days left in office, Trump has every right to speak out against this unprecedented position taken by a US president, which represents a complete departure from past US policy toward Israel. Such a move against Israel by this president is deserving of the strongest condemnation, and it's good that Trump let Israel know immediately where he stands, and what position his administration will take, Unfortunately, it will be very difficult to undo the damage done by Obama. We should not just withhold funds from the UN; we should announce we are pulling out, and make it clear why. Then, we should kick this disgusting body of fools out of the US. Let them take their organization elsewhere.

The UN does no good whatsoever. It has become chiefly an anti-Semitic international organization with the goal of exterminating Jews, just like the Muslim Brotherhood it serves.

To be fair, it was a broad and bitter slice of the population.

In any case, did President Obama start getting involved in foreign affairs while President Bush was still in office?

Did President Bush start holding meetings and communicating with foreign officials while Clinton was still in office?

I can't recall. Perhaps this is customer to start acting like president prior to actually taking the oath of office.

Oh boy-- a lot of chatter here of what is really over their heads- Trump has to wait till sworn in- period- and Obama has all the facts - which trump wont sit down long enough to be briefed on- and we only know in PART-- so not up to us-- to make those decisions or know if they are warranted-- in any case, we chose a president to make them and in 20 + days-- you can harp or CHEER-at the decisions Trump makes- right?

The only "claptrap" I see on Twitter comes from the Leftists. There is no end to the hatred they spew daily since Trump was elected.
