Who could have leaked it other than DJT ?

The writer himself, for starters. Maybe they wanted the world to know the had nice things to say to the new guy reaching the desk.

If George W. ever got a letter from the Clintons, I'd love to compare it with this one.

Don’t you love the way the writer of this article talks about Trump being accused of not following the rule of law, but ignores the irony of Obama being the champ of lawlessness?

“...rule of law, separation of powers, equal protection and civil liberties” are the essence of our (small r) republican form of government...

Leave it to a ‘RAT to endlessly repeat the big lie ours is a democracy...

“ Congratulations on a remarkable run. Millions have placed their hopes in you, and all of us, regardless of party, should hope for expanded prosperity and security during your tenure. This is a unique office, without a clear blueprint for success, so I don’t know that any advice from me will be particularly helpful. Still, let me offer a few reflections from the past 8 years. First, we’ve both been blessed, in different ways, with great good fortune. Not everyone is so lucky. It’s up to us to do everything we can (to) build more ladders of success for every child and family that’s willing to work hard. Second, American leadership in this world really is indispensable. It’s up to us, through action and example, to sustain the international order that’s expanded steadily since the end of the Cold War, and upon which our own wealth and safety depend. Third, we are just temporary occupants of this office. That makes us guardians of those democratic institutions and traditions ― like rule of law, separation of powers, equal protection and civil liberties ― that our forebears fought and bled for. Regardless of the push and pull of daily politics, it’s up to us to leave those instruments of our democracy at least as strong as we found them. And finally, take time, in the rush of events and responsibilities, for friends and family. They’ll get you through the inevitable rough patches. Michelle and I wish you and Melania the very best as you embark on this great adventure, and know that we stand ready to help in any ways which we can. Good luck and Godspeed, BO " This part jumped out: "...Sustain the international order...upon which our own wealth and safety depend..." International order??!!?? Nope.

I would be more interested in previous presidents going way back rather than the last few.

A stenographer.

Just the job Baraq was cut out for.

Either that or serving poolside umbrella drinks to middle-aged women on a cruise ship.

Oh look. Barak brought out his Big Book of Worn-out Platitudes and Tired Metaphors.

I don’t think Obama has ever had an original thought.

Every single speech was one platitude after another, and all worn out over decades of use.

CNN claims they obtained this letter?
Does the syntax and grammar hold any similarity to Rachel Maddow's or Don Lemon's?

Assuming it might be real...

"First, we’ve both been blessed, in different ways, with great good fortune. Not everyone is so lucky."

You were lucky, Botard, Donald Trump worked for his blessings.

“rule of law, separation of powers, equal protection and civil liberties”

I’m surprised Barry didn’t burst into flames writing these words.

“Good luck and Godspeed, BO “

So...It was signed with a paw print?

That thought crossed my mind, too. If Soetoro had written that himself, it would’ve been twenty pages long and every sentence would’ve begun (began?) (beginned?) with “I”.
