Obama and Clinton have both already said that Trump is president and that they'll do whatever they can to make him successful.
It's not about left or right winning, they're not protesting the result, they're protesting the individual who won because they fear what he might do based on what he's said. The only person who can respond to that is the person they're protesting.
Add in that any time there's protesting leaders should be doing what they can to calm things down. Obama called on Charlotte protesters to be peaceful. He acknowledge that some protesters weren't doing it the right way and that that wouldn't help them. He acknowledged the protesters' feelings but said that the way to improve things was to reach out and engage and that required being peaceful.

The technicality of when he can start pulling the levers of government isn't relevant here, he's now the leader of the people, all of them, not just the ones who voted for him. Obama and Clinton have already voiced their support. It's Trump's ball, it's not going to mean anything unless the call for peace comes from him. Pretending it isn't happening or saying shouldn't utilize their rights to protest isn't going to help, it'll do the opposite.
