Yes, this is the bargaining stage and no, Donald trump is the worst actor in the world and you are about to see things happen that have never happened in this country before.  

I think the hope is that he will quickly realize that he is out of his league and will cede most of the actual governing to Pence and his advisors - who will not be good by any means, but at least they’re politicians who are unlikely to nuke Europe or something like that. The campaign trail is a circus - and Trump is…

Yes. This is the bargaining stage. You called it. Trump’s gotta’ Trump. There will be no pivot. Hasn’t been. Won’t be.

I have heard quite a few people express the hope today that trump will become less abhorrent after the inauguration and he was just putting on an act to get elected. Is this bargaining stage of the five stages of grief?
