Trump, Obama come face to face in White House; Trump described Obama as "a very good man"
There's no stopping Donald Trump's way to the White House as he has already sealed the deal with outgoing President Obama, Thursday, two days after the historic US Presidential Election that President-Elect Trump raised to victory. November 8, Tuesday, US citizens joined together in voting the highest leader of their country after President Obama ended his 2-term administration. Donald Trump, a Republican competed with Hillary Clinton, a member of the Democratic Party as the former won by reaching the 270-vote barrier.
Now that the results were finalized, President-Elect Trump together with his wife Melania started the discussion of the next phase which is the transition or the transfer of power between the two leaders. CNN gives a rundown of what took place in their first meeting as the President-elect and the outgoing President, and the atmosphere inside the White House remained to be calm and professional despite their political party differences. The rough statements from both gentlemen during the campaign period were quickly set aside and gave only positive responses during this event, as President-elect Trump said, President Obama is "a very good man" and the latter wished the President-elect to succeed, all in contrast to what had transpired days before the election.
Meanwhile, at the other side of the wing of White House was the first meeting of First Lady Michelle Obama with the First-Lady-in-waiting Melania Trump, as the two ladies were seen together, a photo provided by The Telegraph. The mood in the White House is the complete opposite of the whirl of events during the past few days, the political mood right now is moving forward into a smooth transition into the new administration and its President-elect Trump's success is their No.1 priority. President Obama pushes for Trump's success as this will result in the country's success, as their meeting extended from the planned 10 minutes to 90 minutes.
With this positive development after the intriguing US election, the rallying of anti-Trump outside White House and spread on different states on their streets still clearly shows their disbelief and shock. This is by far a heavy load for the President-elect, aside from other concerns like the economy and the dilemma on ISIS, considering that he is the first president elected to have never had any political, diplomatic or military experience ever. All are hoping for the campaign logo saying "Make America Great Again" but this may not be the case for the rest that is still on the streets chanting "Not my President".
