Trump left Biden an oddly polite and poetic letter after losing to him in 2020

Résumé détaillé

'Each staircase, hallway and door leads to yet another door and memory.'

There are the social media posts – crammed with capital letters and jabs against ‘total losers’ – or his long, sometimes rambling speeches.

Yet neither quite applies to a letter Trump left Joe Biden when he departed the White House after losing the 2020 US presidential election.

Biden said at the time that his political foe had left him a ‘very generous letter’ when he assumed office, but declined to reveal its content.

Now Biden is reprinting the letter for his upcoming memoir Promise Me, America, according to The New York Times.

The note, scribbled in Sharpie on White House stationery, was left in an envelope addressed to ’46’, otherwise known as Biden, the 46th president.

‘Coming to work every day in the Oval Office is a blessing beyond imagination,’ Trump’s letter, dated January 20, 2021, began.

‘History resounds from every wall, every statue, every beautiful painting, and every corner of this magical place.

‘Each staircase, hallway and door leads to yet another door and memory, another inflection point in the glorious story of America.’

During the election campaign, Trump called Biden, among other things, ‘sleepy’, ‘a loser’, ‘very stupid’, ‘slow’, ‘crooked’, and ‘impaired’.
