President-elect Donald Trump and President Obama met for the first time Thursday and pledged to work together,  starting the whirlwind transition that will unfold over the next 10 weeks until Trump is sworn into office Jan. 20.

The meeting seemed to be quite amicable on the face of it but the awkwardness of it all was quite hilarious. Trump was never a big fan of Obama. He passed some controversial statements in election campaign targeting Obama. They both failed to hide it on their faces.

Discussed Foreign And Domestic Policy:

During a 90-minute private meeting, Barack Obama said the two discussed foreign and domestic policy and how to ensure a smooth handover of power. Obama said the two men discussed “foreign and domestic policy” and how to ensure the handover of power went smoothly. “I want to emphasise to you, Mr President-elect, that we now are going to do everything we can to help you succeed because if you succeed, then the country succeeds,” Obama told his successor.

Trump said: “This was a meeting that was going to last for maybe 10 or 15 minutes, and we were just going to get to know each other. We had never met each other. I have great respect. The meeting lasted for almost an hour and a half. And it could have – as far as I’m concerned, it could have gone on for a lot longer.”

Asked if he would seek advice from Obama in the future, despite intense criticism from both of them toward the other in the past, Trump described his political opponent as a “very good man”. “We discussed a lot of different situations, some wonderful and some difficulties,” trump added.

Here are some pictures from meeting:

Keeping them aside, about 4,000 protesters were in the streets with chants like “we reject the president-elect.”
