Donald Trump Discovers Joe Biden's Parting Letter



President Trump discovered a letter left for him by Joe Biden while talking to reporters. The envelope was addressed to “47.” It’s a decades-old tradition that started with Ronald Reagan for the outgoing president to leave a letter for the new commander-in-chief. It happened as Trump was signing an avalanche of executive orders stacked on his desk in the Oval Office, which was redecorated to his liking. The switch took place after Biden and Trump left for the inauguration.

  1. I'm probably wrong, but this appears that this letter scene may have been stage with reporter. Staging questions and responses is nothing new in rhe media , nor in colleges and universities, like in Q & A period following a students presentation, they pick their friends in audience to ask the question which they have given them and which they have well rehearsed responses. Likewise a journalist to get an interview of someone that will increase ratings, revenue, etc will agree that the person they want to interview will have control of and approve all questions beforehand. Again I'm likely wrong, just a first impression.

  2. Wow..I just learned that President Reagan began the tradition. I am pretty surprised by that, as I used to believe it was customary for all presidents to send letters to one another.
