Before he leaves office for the final time, President Joe Biden plans to pen President-elect Donald Trump a letter, CNN is told.

Four years ago, when Trump famously skipped Biden’s inauguration after refusing to acknowledge his victory, Biden revealed that Trump had followed one presidential tradition by leaving him a letter on the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office. While its exact contents have never been revealed, Biden later described it as “very generous.”

At the time, a senior Trump aide described the letter to CNN as a “personal note” that prayed for the success of the country and the new administration to care for the country.

It is a modern tradition for outgoing presidents to write their successors a letter and leave it for them on the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office.

I'm actually quite surprised that Trump left Biden a letter 4 years ago. This is the first time that I'm hearing about it.

4. There is no way he wrote a letter

unless it was full of hate. The Bidens were locked out of the White House after the inauguration in 2020. I would bet that somebody else wrote it and put it on the desk after 45 left.

3. Perhaps this word in there

nefandous

So wicked as to defy description: abominable, appalling.
