Former President Joe Biden is finally revealing the contents of a letter President Donald Trump left for him in the White House in 2021. At the time, Trump refused the customary meeting between the incoming and outgoing presidents after setting loose a rabid mob on the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, in an effort to overturn the 2020 presidential election results. But what’s so surprising about the letter Trump wrote to Biden is not even so much what it says, but its soft, almost affectionate tone. Biden published the letter in his new book “Promise Me, America,” and The New York Times was able to review it in a photocopy of the original letter. Surprisingly, Trump never mentioned his vicious public attacks on Biden or his ongoing claims that someone had “stolen” the election from him. Instead, he addressed the envelope to “46,” referring to Biden becoming the 46th president.
