Obama will be gracious as he always is to the rude man who accused him of being an illegitimate president for the last 6 years.

As a child of the 60s I thought the days were over when I would see a man endorsed by the KKK sitting in the Oval Office. The thought is just nauseating.

Sorry, I couldn't help but focus on this part of your post. Will Trump finally apologize publicly for trying to delegitimize the first Black president?

I do agree with you that President Obama will try to make the transition of power go smoothly. However, I'm not so sure the word "humble" is part of Donald Trump's vocabulary, but time will tell. I only hope Trump's victory speech was sincere and he will try to unite the country and serve all Americans. It's not as if we have a choice.

I don't know how the US media is covering it,

But I'm watching a live video of Obama & Trump in the White House on Sky News.

Apparently Obama & Trump have never met each other. Meeting went well over the time limit scheduled.

All good between them.

Trump disavowed the KKK.

And I'm very happy to see the man who invited BLM anti-cop hater group and anarchists to the White House leaving it.

Shown on Sky News.

Obama and Trump have buried the hatchet.

Obama says that he will do everything he can to make the transition successful.

Very positive.
