“Maybe he left it behind. Don’t they usually keep this on the table? I don’t know,” Mr. Trump replied to the reporter before searching and discovering the letter with the number 47 written on the outside. “Thank you. [Nếu không được nhắc] It may take several years for us to find this letter,” Mr. Trump added. He jokingly invited the reporters in the room to read the letter, but then said he would read it first and then decide.
Mr. Biden continued the tradition of giving letters to his successor, initiated by the late President Ronald Reagan in 1989, when he left a letter to Mr. George HW Bush, which contained the humorous content: “Don’t let the children The turkey discouraged him.” Since then, letters have often been sent by their predecessors with wishes, encouragement, or messages of solidarity.
Because he took office for two non-consecutive terms, Mr. Trump was the first person to receive letters from two previous presidents, including Mr. Barack Obama and Mr. Joe Biden. In 2021, although he did not attend Mr. Biden’s inauguration, Mr. Trump still left a letter in the Oval Office, with content Mr. Biden described as “very generous” and caused him to spend a lot of time reflecting on it, according to ABC News.
