The change of presidential administrations is usually smooth, at least on the surface. Notwithstanding the claim that Trump 45 wouldn’t leave the White House, he did. Trump didn’t wait around for the now-traditional greeting of the then-president-elect Joe Biden. Last week, Trump and Joe Biden sat for a meeting. They were both all smiles. Melania declined to meet with her counterpart.
Sometimes, the changeover is punctuated with childish behavior. A story about Clinton’s outgoing White House staff removing “W” keys from keyboards before George W. Bush took office was, unfortunately, just a story. There was trash left in offices and office hallways, but that is standard fare. In past changeovers, doorknobs were removed. One can only guess what lower staffers will do this time around, since many of them clung to the “Trump is Hitler”…
