He did that for George H.W. Bush, his successor and vice president of eight years. Bush did the same for Bill Clinton, who left a note for Bush’s son George W. The younger Bush left behind written words for Barack Obama, who later put pen to paper for Donald Trump.

The Trumpster knows that Biden cannot read. And, even if someone read a note to Bidenmoron, he wouldn’t understand.

It said that Joe wished Trump hadn’t turned his at the Butler rally.
