Custom in the United States dictates that each outgoing US President leaves a personal letter for the incoming president that is replacing them.
After losing the presidential election to Joe Biden in 2020, igniting a literal insurrection at the United States Capitol, being charged with and convicted of a staggering 34 felony counts in Manhattan over his hush-money scheme, and a gut-wrenching election in November, Donald J. Trump was successful in his return to the United States presidency.
On Monday, the once-former US president was formally inaugurated and returned to the White House for his second, nonconsecutive term in office.
Outgoing President Biden was reported to have followed customs and left behind a letter for his successor in the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office.
Now, Fox News has obtained and publicly released the contents of that letter between incoming and outgoing US presidents for the world and the American people to see.
According to reporting from Fox’s Peter Doocy, President Biden’s letter to President Trump reads:
Dear President Trump,
As I take leave of this sacred office I wish you and your family all the best in the next four years. The American people – and people around the world – look to this house for steadiness in the inevitable storms of history, and my prayer is that in the coming years will be a time of prosperity, peace, and grace for our nation.
May God bless you and guide you as He has blessed and guided our beloved country since our founding.”
Donald Trump has spoken with the press and stated that the letter left behind by President Biden was “nice.”
