In parliamentary governments, the largest opposition party often refers to itself as a shadow government in which top leaders of the opposition are prepared to assume certain ministries should their party come to power in an election. For example, in Britain the largest opposition party's Defence spokesman might refer to themselves as the Shadow Defence Secretary. Smaller parties have spokespeople too, but these do not generally use shadow names.

One could safely assume that the Office of the President Elect has constituted itself as a 'shadow government'. They seem to be happily communicating 'policy' before they legally have the ability to make policy. It's kind of off-pissing.
