View Full Version : ICYMI: Trump's Transition Team Finished Their Work On Time And Under Budget ......
Donald J. Trump is the 45th president of the United States. The transition is over. And as Vice President Mike Pence said, the team’s work came in on time and under budget. They didn’t use roughly 20 percent of their budget, so those funds will be returned to the U.S. Treasury (via ABC News (http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/vp-elect-mike-pence-transition-finished-schedule-budget/story?id=44883641)):
Trump is in; Obama is out. Now, the new president sets out to make America great again......snip~

As usual Trump saves some money and gives it back to the US. To bad BO the Peep didn't do that with his Transition Team.
Another case where Trump shows up the Peep.
At least Trumps team is starting off Making America Great again. That will get the illiberals ticked off, since their special man couldn't start out the same way.

I imagine they are going to be able to cut a lot of needless costs in government.

Lol, that's because they didn't actually finish anything. How many posts are un filled at this moment?

Try again.....they have picked who they wanted for all posts. Just because Congress has to approve certain appointments. Doesn't change the fact that they saved money. Unlike your special man. :laugh:

There are thousands of lower level political appointees- they are never filled by this point. That takes time.

Sorry, but that turns out not to be the case sir.

As of 48 hours before the inauguration, Trump had named only 28 of the 690, less than 4%. That means that when the Trump team goes to work on Friday afternoon, some 96% of their key offices will be empty

Pete already explained that out for you. Dept heads pick low level appointees not Trump.
Which still doesn't change the fact of the transition team finishing their work on Time and under budget. Note how your CNN article don't dispute that fact.

He isn't aware that Dept heads pick lower level appointees. Remember he is one of the illiberals.

They didn't finish their work. I'm not talking about the several thousand lower level appointees that Pete referenced.

A United States presidential transition is the transfer of federal executive branch (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_government_of_the_United_States#Executive_ branch) power from the incumbent (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incumbent) President of the United States (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/President_of_the_United_States) to the president-elect (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/President-elect_of_the_United_States), during the period of time between election day (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_presidential_election) in November (on the first Tuesday after November 1), and inauguration day (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_presidential_inauguration) on the following January 20. At its heart, a single step—taking the presidential oath of office (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oath_of_office_of_the_President_of_the_United_Stat es)—accomplishes this transfer. However, a successful transition between the outgoing, or "lame duck (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lame_duck_(politics))" administration and the incoming administration begins with pre-election planning and continues through inauguration day. It involves key personnel from the outgoing and incoming presidents’ staffs, requires resources, and includes a host of activities, such as vetting candidates for positions in the new administration, helping to familiarize the incoming administration with the operations of the executive branch, and developing a comprehensive policy platform.....snip~

It was futile attempt on your part from the get go. Hence your credibility issue coming into play.

The Presidential Transition Act of 1963 Pub.L. 88–277 (http://legislink.org/us/pl-88-277), as amended (by the Presidential Transitions Effectiveness Act of 1998 Pub.L. 100–398 (http://legislink.org/us/pl-100-398), Presidential Transition Act of 2000 Pub.L. 106–293 (http://legislink.org/us/pl-106-293), and Presidential Transitions Improvements Act of 2015 Pub.L. 114–136 (http://legislink.org/us/pl-114-136)), established formal mechanisms to facilitate presidential transitions. Specifically, the act directs the Administrator of General Services (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Administrator_of_General_Services) to provide facilities, funding of approximately five million dollars, access to government services, and support for a transition team, and to provide training and orientation of new government personnel and other procedures to ensure an orderly transition.[1] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_presidential_transition#cite_note-CRStransition-1)
Key activities in this pre-election phase include: setting goals for the transition; assembling and organizing the key transition team staff; allocating responsibilities among the team and allocating resources and personnel for each core work stream; developing an overall management work plan to guide the team through the entire transition process; and establishing relationships with Congress, the outgoing administration, General Services Administration (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Services_Administration), the Office of Government Ethics (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Office_of_Government_Ethics), the FBI (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_Bureau_of_Investigation) and the Office of Personnel Management (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Office_of_Personnel_Management) to encourage information sharing and to begin the security clearance process for select personnel.[7] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_presidential_transition#cite_note-guide-7).....snip~

You might want to read up on what a Presidential Transition Team does;
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_presidential_transition
Note, it has nothing to do with Senate confirmation of Presidential appointees.
Oh shit, Facts, im out....
Damn that evidence, huh? :laugh:
