Is Trump Stiffing His Own Transition Team?

It sure looks like it. Apparently, they're out there holding fundraiser so they can get paid. Trump isn't writing any checks, it seems, or maybe his account is already overdrawn.

They're out begging for dollars. What a maroon Trump is. A cheapjack and charlatan, too.

It's all part of his pattern. He gets what he wants from people and then stiffs them. What a guy!

1. I have not the slightest bit of sympathy for any of them--they knew his history of stiffing the

people who work for him.

couldn't happen to a more deserving bunch.

3. Right you are. In fact, I'll celebrate if it happens.

After January 20, all of those folks who haven't been appointed to actual federally-paid jobs will be superfluous hangers-on. It would be typical of Trump to simply discard them and tell them to "Sue me" if they want any money from him.

That would be wonderful to see.

2. This could be pretty damn funny as it plays out.

I really think there's something wrong with him.

We can only hope there's an adult somewhere nearby...sigh.

4. I won't be surprised if Trump sheds his campaign staff people

immediately after his inauguration. That's his pattern, after all. He gets what he wants and then dumps people. Their only recourse is to sue him, which would cost more than they are owed. People like Kellyanne Conway couldn't afford to do it. She'd be left sputtering and stamping her feet in frustration. Bannon, too. He wouldn't be an asset to Trump as President, so he's likely to get told to "take a hike," as well. The same with some of the other geeks and misfits who worked on his campaign. He has no loyalty to anyone, except maybe Putin, who probably is better at this game than Trump is.

5. I'd be willing to bet that you're right.

He might keep her just because she's such a good spinner, but he's not smart enough to realize that.
