Amid the outrageous news coming out of Donald Trump's administration, this might cause a smile (or a smirk). Before they left office, President Barack Obama's White House press staff reportedly left Trump's incoming press staff with a little gift: books written by Obama.
According to Politico:
"In addition to a Keurig coffee maker and a few other household items, the outgoing press staff left a variety of books about Obama in the office space for the incoming team, according to deputy press secretary Stephanie Grisham."
The move appears to be a reaction to Trump's harsh criticism of Obama as president, but it follows a tradition of transition pranks, like when President Bill Clinton's staff removed the W key from keyboards before President George W. Bush took office. No word on whether Obama or Joe Biden had any part in it, despite what the internet wants you to believe.
