President-elect Donald Trump Donald John TrumpBiden on Trump's refusal to commit to peaceful transfer of power: 'What country are we in?'

Conway told Fox News's Lou Dobbs that Trump has been balancing his role as the president-elect while still being respectful of the current administration in the White House.



"He has really threaded the needle, President-elect Trump has, between being the next president and being respectful that we still have a president. So he stopped short of making new policy ... but at the same time he is not waiting until Jan. 20 to get all the levers in motion," she said.

"But we are not that worried about the executive orders and the flurry of activity there happening. Some people try to do that to make up for the unfinished business in the closing days and weeks of their administrations," she said, adding that Trump plans to listen to the American people and what they want for the country.



"It's draining the swamp but also making sure we have prosperity and safety again," she said.

On Thursday, Trump announced Conway would serve as his top counselor once he takes office.

When Dobbs asked Conway if the president-elect is bothered by Obama's last-minute policies, such as ending the National Security Entry-Exit Registration System (NSEERS) that was used to track mostly Arab men after 9/11, Conway replied, "Not particularly.""I think from a ... nonsubstantive perspective, the president and his closest advisers have been very helpful to the president-elect and his close advisers," she said."But that aside, these men differ ideologically and they differ substantively, and in some ways the election ... of Donald J. Trump was a rebuke and a rejection of many of the policies that we've had over the last four to eight years," she said.Conway argued that last-minute policy decisions are often a president's way of trying to "make up for the unfinished business" of their administrations.
