Former President Joe Biden wrote a short letter to his successor, President Donald Trump, in which he told the 47th president that people look to the White House for “steadiness in the inevitable storms of history.”
The letter was shared with Fox News.
“As I take leave of this sacred office I wish you and your family all the best in the next four years,” Biden told Trump. “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,” he added.
Before releasing it to Fox News, Trump called the letter “inspirational” and “very nice.”
Trump was asked by Fox News on Monday during a press availability in the Oval Office as he signed executive orders if he had received the letter. Trump noted that it’s usually left in a drawer of the Resolute Desk, finding it as he opened one of the drawers.
“He may have. Don’t they leave it in the desk? I don’t know,” Trump told Peter Doocy of Fox News on Monday night. “Thank you, Peter. It could have been years before we found this thing.”
“It was a very nice letter,” Trump later told the press. “It was a little bit of an inspirational-type letter. Enjoy it, do a good job. Important, very important. How important the job is.”
“It was a positive, for him, in writing it,” he added. “I appreciated the letter.”
