President Obama called Donald Trump early Wednesday morning to congratulate him on winning the presidency, according to a statement from the White House.
Obama also called Clinton and “expressed admiration for the strong campaign she waged throughout the country,” according to the White House statement.
The President will make a statement on the outcome of the presidential election later on Wednesday, and he has invited Trump to the White House to meet on Thursday, according to the White House.
“Ensuring a smooth transition of power is one of the top priorities the President identified at the beginning of the year and a meeting with the President-elect is the next step,” the statement from the White House reads.
This can’t be real.
I hope one of the congratulatory points he made was “you know Don, I’d have whipped your ass up one side of this country and down the other…”.
I hate this so much. God this fucking hurts. This man deserved better. Everything he worked for, gone.
Well, on the upside, we’re back on track for a mass extinction event.
Did anyone else here besides me actually vomit? Literally, vomit, not metaphorically? And did anyone here manage to get so much as hour’s worth of sleep? Because I sure as hell didn’t.
I read the headline and literally burst into tears again. How could we do this to him? How?
I didn’t vomit. Not yet. But I think I slept for two hours.
