Thu Jan 23 06:10:00 UTC 2025: ## Trump Receives “Inspirational” Note from Biden in Oval Office

**WASHINGTON** – President Donald Trump revealed a letter left for him by his predecessor, Joe Biden, in the Oval Office Resolute Desk. The White House confirmed the existence of the note, initially reported by Fox News. Dated January 20, 2025, the letter, signed by Biden, reportedly contained a simple message of well-wishes, including the phrase “May God bless you and guide you.”

Trump, during a Monday evening event in the Oval Office, unexpectedly produced the letter, which bore the handwritten number “47” on the envelope. He described the contents as “a very nice letter,” adding that it was “a little bit of an inspirational-type letter. Enjoy it, do a good job. Important, very important. How important the job is.”

Biden’s note follows a long-standing tradition of outgoing presidents leaving a message for their successors. While the full text remains undisclosed, Trump’s comments suggest a gesture of amicable transition, despite the highly partisan political climate. The contents of a similar letter left by Trump for Biden in 2021 have never been publicly released.
