Report: Trump was unfamiliar with the scope of the president's job when meeting Obama

The following article contains a bias towards the political issue of the newly elected president of the United States, in which many doubt Donald Trump's competency to run as president. This article leans towards a democratic point of view, opposing the Republican ideology of Trump. 

"President-elect Donald Trump celebrated his status as a Washington outsider during his campaign for the presidency. But his lack of familiarity with the US government appears to be coming into view as he transitions to 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. Trump and Obama were highly critical of each other during the campaign season but appear to have struck a conciliatory tone since Trump's election, at least publicly. "I want to emphasize to you, Mr. President-elect, that we now are going to want to do everything we can to help you succeed, because if you succeed, then the country succeeds," Obama told Trump in front of reporters on Thursday. Trump called Obama "a very good man" during the session."


Parody Pastiche, using Republican bias
"As Donald Trump's celebrated the success of his campaign for the presidency, Trump had a private meeting with President Obama on Thursday. Despite being a Washington newbie, Trump's arrival at the White House will be well-received as Trump will get a better scope of his responsibilities under the guidance of former President Barack Obama. Trump will arrange many affairs before his official presidency on January 20th of 2017.  Despite Trump being critical of Obama, h
e calls him "a very good man" during the session after Obama's advice in running as President.
