Scenes from Trump’s Mar-a-Lago Transition


Politico: “During Trump’s first transition, the press got a live look at VIPs being paraded through the Trump Tower lobby for meetings upstairs… This time is less public, as the comings and goings are recorded on social media and in conversations with reporters. The work of the transition is taking place out of view of the photos of meals enjoyed underneath the yellow-striped umbrellas at the Mar-a-Lago patio, as Trump and his team huddle with a coterie of power players.

“Another difference: Where in 2016 Trump leaned on Washington establishment types to navigate his initiation to the government, this time around he’s more likely to take advice from people more known for their influence in the worlds of business and political commentary, or for their massive social media followings. … The message being sent by the people he’s huddling with in Palm Beach is that he’s more welcoming than ever to Republican outsiders who want to shake up Washington.”
