Donald Trump would not have been my first pick as the GOP nominee but he ran a masterful campaign and has assembled a very strong transition team. He admitted that he did not know enough people to fill positions in his first administration and had to rely on other people's recommendations too much. 

So, he funded his transition office this year before the election using private funding so that he could get a headstart on screening his potential appointments. He is obviously much better prepared for his second term than he was for his first term.
