If it bothers you, you can add a high quality AC cap in parallel
around 55 uF. That should 'resonate' out the reactive current assuming
120Vac, 60Hz yields around 127 mH.


** You are a total ignoramus about transformers.

FYI:

Magnetising current is not inductive - it is highly non linear with peaks
at each zero crossing.
