Amid the outrageous news coming out of Donald Trump's administration [1], 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 [2]: 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 [3]. No word on whether Obama or Joe Biden had any part in it, despite what the internet wants you to believe [4].
