There are only 540 billionaires in America. I doubt he knows all of them. And surely some of them agree that he is disgusting.

I've read that outgoing staff left briefing books on desks. No one has come by for advice. But at least we don't have to worry about a private email server. That would have been much more catastrophic than a non functioning branch of government.

Schemer wants it this way. On purpose

"Any attempt by Republicans to have a series of rushed, truncated hearings before Inauguration Day and before the Congress and public have adequate information on all of them is something Democrats will vehemently resist," Schumer said in a Sunday statement, according to the newspaper. "If Republicans think they can quickly jam through a whole slate of nominees without a fair hearing process, they're sorely mistaken," he added, alleging Trump's picks "would break key campaign promises and have made billions off the industries they'd be tasked with regulating."

And even then, Trump is taking the weekend off.  Day 1 starts on Monday.

I wonder what's going to happen when someone tells him this is a 24/7 job?

He is about to have a rude awakening. For the first time in his 70 years he has a real job that requires real work. And he has a boss and it's the American people.

The one who never held a REAL job was Obama, and most of those in D.C. who were elected or hold govt jobs. Trump knows every level of the building and property business. His own kids learned how to work the equipment on job sites, and understand all aspects of the job, just like their dad. 

I get it. You hate the guy. He's been a jerk in the past at times, and there's no denying it. But to claim he's never worked ??

Non sequitur.  Stating that simply shows a stunning lack of understanding about what it takes to run a profitable business.

It helps to borrow from a millionaire Dad who sets you up. Still, if he had just invested that money he'd been better off, but not as well known since his primary business motivation is self promotion.
