Former President Donald Trump revealed what he wrote to President Joe Biden when he left office in January.
“Basically I wished him luck and, you know, it was a couple of pages long and it was from the heart because I want to see him do well,” Trump said during a podcast interview on Monday with Lisa Boothe, describing the letter he left for Biden.
The former commander-in-chief added: “I want him to do well, but that doesn’t include closing up the Keystone Pipeline, which by the way environmentally is much better than having [crude oil] on trains. But [Biden’s] friend and supporter Warren Buffett has trains. Nobody ever talks about that.”
Biden never made reference to the contents of the letter during interviews in January but said it was “very generous.”
In recent years, outgoing presidents have left a letter to their successors. Usually, they leave a note on the Resolute Desk, which was given to the United States by Queen Victoria in the 19th century.
Former President Ronald Reagan started the tradition when he left a note for Vice President George H.W. Bush, who succeeded him in the presidency.
Former President Barack Obama left a note to Trump, reading in part: “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 … 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.”
And before that, former President George W. Bush left a letter to his successor, Obama: “Very few have had the honor of knowing the responsibility you now feel. Very few know the excitement of the moment and the challenges you will face … There will be trying moments. The critics will rage. Your ‘friends’ will disappoint you. But, you will have an Almighty God to comfort you, a family who loves you, and a country that is pulling for you, including me. No matter what comes, you will be inspired by the character and compassion of the people you now lead.”
Also in Monday’s interview, Trump suggested that he doesn’t miss Twitter, with which he used to generate massive amounts of engagement during his 2016 campaign and presidency.
“I put out a statement, it’s much more elegant than a tweet and I think it’s picked up better. I would almost say better than Twitter,” he said about his new method of communication.

Obama is so full of it it’s still unbelievable after all these years. And if he had no “blueprint for success” he never should have been anywhere near office.
He and Jarrett are running the country right now, so . . .
America’s presidential elections have always been essentially a ‘beauty contest’ up until 2020.................
oooh, Trump losing a little street cred around here?....
In 4... 3.... 2.... 1....
As DJT was wishing Demented Joe well as our next president, our KooKs were believing he was secretly mustering the military in an effort to seize the White House. God, we’re screwed.
"But Biden’s friend and supporter Warren Buffett has trains. Nobody ever talks about that.”
Being gracious doesn’t cost you anything........................
bump
The schmuck was never more then what he appeared to be. Just a community organizer.. And barely that.....
So true.
“ He and Jarrett are running the country right now, so . . .”

Ummm, thinking you haven’t dug deep enough. I’m guessing the Grande Puppet Master is Soros....
LOL.......
Exactly right. And as much as I like Trump, his life as president would have been made much easier if he had been gracious at opportune times no matter how undeserved. If you occasionally blow smoke up the asses of vain losers like McStain and Milt instead of insulting them, they will work with you instead of against you.
If “O’Bozo” knew what the f#*k he was doing, he had 8 full years to do it ... and DIDN’T
So why does he get a do-over NOW?
Perhaps you would like to explain why?
How did being “nice” work out for Dumbya.
He only won his elections because his opponents were even worse.
My post had nothing to do with winning an election.
