‘This guy doesn’t know anything’: the inside story of Trump’s shambolic transition team

A Trump quote: "F**k the law. I don’t give a f**k about the law. I want my f**king money." Heard by no less than Chris Christie and Steve Bannon.

1. This scene tells a lot about Trump... (Video clip is salty)

What he fails to recognize is that although Trump THINKS he is the Jimmy Conway (DeNiro) character in this - demanding his money as some kind of tough-guy gangster, in reality he is Morrie (the wig salesman) who acts tough until he is confronted by a real psychopath like Conway and then turns into the victim...

Donald Trump wants to be a Goodfella in the worst way...but his reality is that of a bit-player and side grifter and he KNOWS it in his soul. He is maybe the most pathetic public figure of the last 100 years.

2. Good article.

I thought Bannon actually liked Trump and thought he knew what he was doing. The article makes it sound like he knows he's an idiot too.

"Trump was going to handle the transition more or less by himself. Not even Bannon thought this was a good idea. “I was fucking nervous as shit,” Bannon later told friends. “I go, ‘Holy fuck, this guy [Trump] doesn’t know anything. And he doesn’t give a shit.’”
