As tradition goes, outgoing presidents write a personal letter to the incoming president with words of wisdom and encouragement for their successor. So we have been curious to know what former President Joe Biden left in his parting letter for President Donald Trump.
Now the contents of the letter have been revealed, and it’s not as bad as you’d think. I was expecting a snarky comment, but it was cordial. Although, I must say, it doesn’t sound like Joe wrote it considering the sentences are complete.
“As I take leave of this sacred office, I wish you and your family all the best in the next four years,” the letter reads. “The American people – and people around the world – look to this house for steadiness in the inevitable storms of history, and my prayer is that the coming years will be a time of prosperity, peace, and grace for our nation.”
Biden concluded, “May God bless you and guide you as He has blessed and guided our beloved country since our founding.”
With parting words like that, you’d never even know that the two were political rivals, or that Joe Biden had the FBI raid Trump’s home….and tried to have Trump imprisoned.
Let old acquaintance be forgot? I’m sure that’s what Joe and Kamala Harris are hoping for.
On Monday, while signing executive orders, reporter Peter Doocy prompted Trump to open his letter from Biden.
“It was a very nice letter,” Trump said, after opening it – “a little bit of an inspirational-type letter. ‘Enjoy it, do a good job. Important, very important. How important the job is.’ It was a positive, for him, in writing it. I appreciated the letter.”
