The White House swing set was hauled off the South Lawn Thursday, only a few weeks before Donald Trump moves in.

The play structure was first brought in by the Obamas in 2009 for the president's then 10- and 7-year-old daughters. Almost eight years later, the Obamas are donating the elaborate swings to charity.

The set was intended for the Obama girls and other children who visited the president. Shortly after it arrived in March 2009, kids from a national charity played on the structure, as seen in a photo essay from the White House.

According to the Associated Press, the structure has three swings, a tire swing, a slide, a fort, a climbing wall and climbing ropes. Obama called it "pretty spectacular."

On Thursday it was reported that Obama offered to keep the structure for the Trumps, but the president-elect declined.

This set up easy jokes at Trump's expense, some pushing too far and mocking his youngest son Barron as not as capable as the Obama daughters. But others were mostly in jest.

Other jabs included Trump's predilection for all things gold.

The swings just keep coming.
