But Obama also leaves offce all too aware of the burdens that are about to shift from his shoulders. Eight years ago, at that gathering 0f Presidents, George 、 M.. Bush had said to him, "We want you to succeed. ” At that moment, party no longer mattered. "AII ofus who have served in this Offce understand that the offce transcends the individual. ” Obama has honored that tradition in his conversa- tions in person and by phone with Trump. "The main thing that l've tried tO transmit is that there's a dif- ference between governing and campaigning, so that what he has tO appreciate is as soon as you walk into thiS ()ffce after sworn in, you re now in charge 0f the largest organization on earth; ” he told evolution would be. "He'II sit here, and he'll say, の 0 this! Do that! ' And nothing will happen," Truma observed. "Poor lke—it won't be a bit like the Army. He'II find it very frustrating. " Or as Trump might put i! in a tweet—"SAD! ” Obama's experience before the Oval Offce was also thin by modern standards—three terms in the lllinois state senate, barely four years in D. C. But he entered Off. ce with one advantage over Trump: a 68 % approval rating in January 2009 , compared wi Trump's 43 %. Trump will find the place pretty well fenced ⅲ lt's a supreme irony that the leader 0f the free worl has precious little personal freedom. At 18 acres, the White House complex is one acre larger than Mar-a-Lago, but security makes it feel smaller.

He has already demonstrated his will- ingness tO negotiate with Congress in full view, via 140-character bursts. "I remember what it was like when I came in eight years ago; ” Obama said after his meeting with Trump. "lt is a big challenge. This offce is bigger than any one person, and that's Why ensurmg a smooth transition iS SO important. lt's not something that the Constitution explicitly requires, but it is one ofthose norms that are vital tO a functioning democracy, similar tO norms Of civility and tolerance and a commitment tO reason and facts and analysis. ” At a time Of deep division and disagreement the nation can take comfort that this particular unifymg spirit persists, as the following pages attest.

That Trump had never held elective offce of any kind proved a significant asset t0 him throughout the campaign: no voting record tO haunt him, few political debts to repay, no habit of speaking without saying something. But there is little precedent for Washington generally—and the White House particularly— tO absorb such an alien, and Often actively hostile, outsider.

Whether it's his disdain of intelligence analysts, his distance from his party's agenda, his Twit- ter torture Of corporations or his defiant and diversionary Jan. 11 press conference, every- thing about the Trump transi- tion has tested the machinery ofpower and protocol. This suggests that the weeks t0 come will involve a steep learning curve notjust for the new Commander in Chiefbut for the rest ofus as well. ln his farewell address onJan. 10 , Obama had to stop and quiet those in his crowd whO booed his promise tO ensure a smooth transition Of power tO Trump. He called the cooperation a "hallmark of our democracy, running de eper than his dis agre ements with the man who will replace him.

It'S unusual tO move intO a new workspace with nearly 100 % turnover, with the incoming teamjust meeting one another for the first time under the bright glare ofthe international spotlight. There is no predicting the impact any of this will have on the actions and attitude Ofa newly inaugurated President Trump. Even he has shown some surprise at adopting his new identity, starting with his Oval 0 伍 c e meeting with Obama two days after his victory. "I will tell you, I really liked him, I think he liked me; ” Trump told TIME a few weeks later. "I think he was surprised also. There was good chemistry.

C onversation PERSON OF THE YEAR I REALIZE THAT YOUR SE- lection ofPerson ofthe Year [Dec. 19 ] is based on the premise Of "for better or worse. ” However, it must be recognized that your se- lection process elevates the profile ofthe candidates and the winner.

But none 0fthe offcials wh0 had seen the allegations had been able t0 substanti- ate them, according tO intelligence Offcers famil- iar with the documents. The offcials say the two- page annex was included in the briefing because analysts didn't want to hold damaging allegations about Trump, even ones they didn't believe, that he didn't know they had. ln his press conference the next day, Trump was predictably outraged that information about a private intelligence document leaked t0 the pub- lic and said it would be a "tremendous blot ” on intelligence offcials ifthey were responsible for the leak. "A thing like that should never have been written; ” Trump said. "lt should certainly never have been released. ” The incoming President de- nied doing anything that would give Russia lever- age over him. ln particular, he said he had always been careful in hiS foreign travels, even in private, t0 behave well. "I was in Russia, years ago, with the Miss Universe contest; ” he said. "And I told many people, 'Be careful. Because you don't wanna see yourselfon television. Cameras all over the place. ' A similar sense Of suspicion iS now spread- ing here at home. The latest episode means the President-elect, whO has been sharply critical of U. S. intelligence offcers, will be entering the White House at war with his spies, unsure whether they were undermining him with a leak and shad- owed by allegations 0fRussian leverage over him. The spies, for their part, already know they can't trust Trump to defend them. And the American people find themselves unsure ofwhom tO trust and, perhaps, what t0 believe. And that may have been the point. Trump is getting a taste Ofthe toxins that Democrats are convinced poisoned the Clinton campaign in the end: allegations ofmisconduct that, even ifun- provable or untrue, cannot be unseen or unheard once they've been released in the wild. Law en- forcement is also wounded. ln testimony on Capi- tol Hill, FBI Director James Comey declined to answer whether there was an FBI investigation int0 Trump campaign dealings with Russia, say- ing he would never comment on such things. That brought audible derision from Democrats. Russia's preference for Trump over Clinton in November may have been established in recent weeks by the CIA, but a primary goal of the Rus- S1an influence operation was tO undermine con- fidence in the し S. and Western democracy. Soon Trump will be the leader ofthe free world, and with truth and rumor indistinguishable at the highest levels ofgovernment, the latest chaos in Washington suggests the Russian operation is still under way and working rather well. 6 TIME January 23 , 2017 SiX months in, iS Britain's Theresa May bungling Brexit? THERESA MAY PASSED HER SIXTH month as Prime Minister on Jan. 13 as the defining issue ofher term—Britain's withdrawal from the E. U.—nears a cri- sis point. The resignation Of a key civil servant on Jan. 3 was the latest blOW tO a Brexit process that critics say is going badly awry : HARD TRUTHS Britain's ambassador tO the E. U. , lvan Rogers, quit with a letter to fellow civil servants suggesting that the government was unwilling tO accept the realities ofleaving the E. U. He had previously said it would take Britain up tO a decade tO forge a post-Brexit trade deal with the E. U. Pro-Brexit ministers insist it can be done in tWO years. KNOWN UNKNOWNS May has said Britain will formally begin the two-year pro- cess ofleaving the E. U. before April, but so far has provided little detail on what Britain will seek in talks with negotia- tors in Brussels on issues such as trade and immigration. The Prime Minister has repeatedly claimed she does not want tO reveal her negotiating stance, but a leaked memo by a consultant claimed in November that her Cabinet was bitte rly divided ove r strategy. HIGH STAKES Pressure is building on May tO lay out in clear terms exactly what she wants from Brexit. Much is riding on what she says next. ln a Jan. 8 television interview, she hinted that Britain could not expe ct tO retain んⅡ access tO the E. U. 's single market after Brexit. The next day, the pound sterling fell to its lowest point against the U. S. dollar in two months. —TARA JOHN/LONDON MAY: TOBY MELVILLE—REUTERS; EXPLAINER: RAP 工 AEL ALVES—AFP 、 GETTY IMAGES; ILLUSTRATION BY CARRIE GEE FOR TIME May t00 た 0Jfice 0 れ Ju 13 , saying "Brexit means Brexit. ” She hasn't offered much more 〉 ロ
