Trump Leaves Letter for Joe Biden: White House Spokesman
theepochtimes.com ^ | January 20, 2021 | JACK PHILLIPS

White House press secretary Judd Deere confirmed to news outlets that President Donald Trump left a note for President-elect Joe Biden, following a presidential tradition.

Deere did not elaborate on the contents of the note, citing privacy concerns.

Reports said that Vice President Mike Pence also left a note for Vice President-elect Kamala Harris.

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: “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.”

The Press and Democrats will try to outlaw President Trump’s return at the unveiling of the official painting for the portrait gallery.

"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."

That certainly is of no surprise coming from Odumbo.

It is actually a "treasure map" leading to a package that you pull the pin out of to open it up.

Adaptation of an old joke:

President Trump on his last day in office, left Joe Biden two envelopes labeled #1 and #2. Trump also left a note that said “upon your first major crisis in office, when you’re not sure what to do, open envelope #1. Upon your second major insolvable crisis in office, open envelope #2.

Weeks went by, until there appeared a national crisis: North Korea tested a nuclear device and claimed to have an ICBM capable of reaching the United States. Worrying about how to handle the situation, he remembered the two envelopes left by Trump. He reached for the first envelope, and opened it. Inside was a letter with these words:

“Blame your predecessor.”

So Biden held a press conference and blamed the North Korean aggression on Trump’s coddling of Kim, and swore to strengthen sanctions on the Hermit Kingdom. The crisis was averted.

Years went by, but eventually another major crisis that Biden didn’t know how to handle occurred. Sitting behind the Truman desk in the Oval Office, Biden reached for the second envelope. He ripped it open, and inside was a note with these words:

“Prepare two envelopes...”

Possible proof Biden has never read the Bible, have the locks ever been removed?

Hopefully Trump wrote it in purple crayon using monosyllabic words so Biden* will understand

I would have left something in the desk drawer for Biden.

It wouldn't have been a letter. Donald Trump is far more of a gentleman than I am.

If I had written the letter, the envelope would contain my cat’s latest offering to her litter box. Like is drawn to like.
