NSC is on 3d Trump transition "landing team" in 2 mos. Key jobs unfilled less than a week from start. One insider: Worst transition ever.

I've talked with several people involved on Trump's side of the NatSec transition. The word they all independently arrive at is "shitshow."

@dandrezner That's interesting, because the word that keeps coming up in the similar conversations I've had is "clusterfuck."

I seem to recall Republicans making that claim about Obama. He received searing criticism from them during his transition. My how things have changed.
