Obama: ‘We Are Now All Rooting’ for Trump

President Obama delivered a dignified statement Wednesday afternoon regarding Donald Trump’s victory in the presidential election — a lesson in decorum for the legions of other liberals losing their minds over Trump’s victory.

“Everybody is sad when their side loses an election, but the day after, we have to remember that we’re actually all on one team — this is an intramural scrimmage,” Obama said.

“We are not Democrats or Republicans first … we are Americans first, we’re patriots first.”

“We are not Democrats or Republicans first … we are Americans first, we’re patriots first,” he said. “That’s what I heard from Trump, that’s what the country needs,” he continued. The president said that he extended an invitation to meet with Trump on Thursday to discuss a successful transition of power.

Obama also reminded his supporters that Trump’s victory is not the end of the world. “It is no secret that the president-elect and I have some pretty significant differences,” he said.

“But remember, eight years ago, President Bush and I had some pretty significant differences. But President Bush’s team could not have been more professional or more gracious in making sure that we had a smooth transition so that we could hit the ground running,” Obama continued.

“The peaceful transition of power is one of the hallmarks of our democracy,” he said. “We are now all rooting for [Donald Trump’s] success in uniting and leading the country.”

Obama’s words stand in stark contrast to many Hillary Clinton supporters’ hysterical reactions across social media. “The point … is that we all go forward with the presumption of good faith in our fellow citizens,” he said. “Because that presumption of good faith is essential to a vibrant and functioning democracy.”

If social media is any reliable indication, many liberals are doing no such thing — continuing to decry the “racism,” “sexism,” “xenophobia,” and “hate” which liberal propagandists would have the country believe propelled Trump to victory.

But despite Obama’s conciliatory and unifying tone, the president still couldn’t pass up the chance to tout his own legacy. He and his administration have left a “stronger, better country than the one that existed eight years ago,” Obama claimed. “And everyone on my team should be extremely proud of what they have done.”
