Donald Trump is running his transition like his businesses
Donald Trump is running his transition like his businessesTampa Bay Times, 11/19/16 (via New York Times)
Donald Trump sits high in Trump Tower in New York, spending hours on the phone with friends, television personalities and donors to ask if they know people to recommend for his Cabinet.
He joins a daily morning transition meeting with his family and staff, but still maintains the routine that sustained him during the campaign: starting his day at 5 a.m. reading the New York Post and the New York Times, then switching on MSNBC's Morning Joe, whose co-host Joe Scarborough he once publicly savaged but now often seeks out for advice.
He gets angry when members of his inner circle get too much of the spotlight, as Rudy Giuliani did when headlines about his millions of dollars in speaking fees appeared as the former New York mayor was publicly promoting himself to be Trump's secretary of state.
And Trump has happily resumed control of his Twitter feed, using it to bash targets in the news media.
