President Obama and president-elect Donald Trump met
today at the White House and what an awkward scene it
was. They spent 90minutes together, a meeting Donald
Trump said he thought would last 10-15 minutes.
It was the very first time both men will meet each other, as
Obama showed Trump, his wife Melania, Vice president elect
Mike Pence, Mrs Pence and House Speaker Paul Ryan round
the White House.
Both of them said good things about each other during the
meeting with Obama saying he was
"encouraged" by Mr
Trump's willingness to work with his team, telling him:
"We want to do everything we can to help you
succeed because if you succeed the country
succeeds" while Trump called Obama a 'good man'
The more cordial and friendly tone adopted by the two men
towards each other was in sharp contrast to the bitter spats
that characterized the election campaign.
