Trump ‘seemed surprised’ by the scope of the presidency
After meeting President Obama, Donald Trump was dumbfounded by the scope of the presidency.
…his lack of familiarity with the US government is coming into view as he transitions to the job in the White House.
During Trump’s private meeting with President Barack Obama on Thursday, Trump “seemed surprised” by the scope of the president’s responsibilities, according to a report from The Wall Street Journal.

Trump’s aides were also apparently unaware that the entire staff of the president working in the White House’s West Wing would need to be replaced, according to the Journal.
Obama reportedly will spend more time counseling Trump about the presidency than most presidents do with their successors.
