Biden memoir reveals warm letter Trump left on inauguration day

Joe Biden’s forthcoming memoir reveals a letter Donald Trump wrote to him before Biden took office in 2021.

Trump left it in the Resolute Desk on inauguration day, though he skipped Biden’s swearing-in.

In the letter, Trump said he believed Biden loved the American people and wished him success.

At the time, Trump was still publicly claiming the election was stolen, and Biden’s inauguration followed the January 6 Capitol attack.

Biden wrote that the letter made him feel there were “two Donald Trumps” and recalled that Trump had not offered a traditional meeting between presidents.

The letter contrasts with Trump’s public conduct during the transfer of power, as described by Biden.

Biden’s memoir is due out next Tuesday.
