“I would say that, yes, I take his recommendations very seriously and there are some people that I will be appointing and in one case have appointed where he thought very highly of that person, yes," Trump told NBC’s “Today" show.

“I do like him. I love getting his ideas. And I may differ in many cases, I differ very greatly. In many cases I’m the opposite," Trump said of Obama.

Trump visited the White House for his first visit with Obama as president-elect just after Election Day.

Trump for years criticized Obama’s policies before winning the presidential election last month.

The president-elect, who is roughly halfway through announcing his Cabinet choices, most recently selected Gen. James Mattis for secretary of Defense. Mattis, who retired in 2013, would need Congress to provide a waiver on a rule preventing former service members who have been out of the military for less than seven years from serving as Defense secretary.
