Obama and Trump Meeting: Trump didn't know the job was, well, a job.

During their private White House meeting on Thursday, Mr. Obama walked his successor through the duties of running the country, and Mr. Trump seemed surprised by the scope, said people familiar with the meeting. Trump aides were described by those people as unaware that the entire presidential staff working in the West Wing had to be replaced at the end of Mr. Obama’s term.
After meeting with Mr. Trump, the only person to be elected president without having held a government or military position, Mr. Obama realized the Republican needs more guidance. He plans to spend more time with his successor than presidents typically do, people familiar with the matter said.

Oh my lord

Obama is gonna have to be Trump's babysitter. Good job voting America

Thank you for some fake news. Or do you think Caitlin Macneal is a real reporter?

The article claims to be reporting on a report by the Wall Street Journal. However, when following their source link, it takes you to an article on the Wall Street Journal with a headline of:

RNC Chair Reince Priebus Is Named Donald Trump’s Chief of Staff: Stephen Bannon to serve as chief strategist and senior counselor to the president.

So I see nothing supporting the accusation, like Will is saying...

That said, the writer of this piece is as much a "real Journalist" as Trump is (or will be) a "real President".

Yeah, like claim to a job with a news organization is just like a constitutional requirement. Way to go with your twist on fair and balanced.

My reference was about the degree of preparedness, experience, and general confidence in related abilities... not about constitutional requirements (of which, being a skilled politician applies to neither constitutional nor journalistic requirements).
