First day goal? Make White House feel like home for Trump

First day goal?

The crew will have just the hours between Trump's swearing-in and the end of the inaugural parade to remove all traces of President Barack Obama and his family and make the Trumps feel at home.

[...] the process itself starts after the November election when the White House chief usher reaches out to the incoming president's team to begin coordinating the new First Family's big move.

Trump, the businessman and reality TV star, now lives primarily at his three-story penthouse at Trump Tower on New York's Fifth Avenue, and may continue to spend considerable time there because his wife and their 10-year-old son, Barron, plan to remain in New York until the school year ends.

Obama told CBS' "60 Minutes" that he's taking books, clothes, mementos and furniture bought since he became president.

Earlier, before welcoming the president-elect for a pre-inaugural reception, the outgoing president, the chief usher and the residence staff traditionally meet for what often is an emotional goodbye.

In Obama's case, many of those assigned to the residence are people of color and have been especially proud to serve America's first black president and his family.
