Wed Jan 22 22:30:00 IST 2025: **Trump Teases Release of Biden’s “Inspirational” Inauguration Letter**
WASHINGTON D.C. – President Trump revealed Tuesday that he received an “inspirational” letter from his predecessor, President Biden, left inside the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office. The discovery, aided by Fox News’ Peter Doocy, occurred Monday during a press conference announcing a $500 billion AI infrastructure investment.
Describing the letter, which was addressed to “47” (presumably referencing Trump’s age), President Trump called it “very nice” and hinted at a potential public release. “It was a little bit of an inspirational-type letter,” he stated. “Enjoy it, do a good job. Important, very important. How important the job is.”
The tradition of outgoing presidents leaving a letter for their successors began with President Reagan in 1989. While President Biden has previously confirmed receiving a “generous” letter from President Trump, he has kept its contents private. This situation marks a unique circumstance, as President Biden is the first to write a letter to a successor who also previously left him a letter. President Trump’s non-consecutive terms further add to the unusual nature of this exchange.
