Sneak peek into Trump’s letter to Joe Biden

DEAR EDITOR:

A tradition marking the peaceful transfer of power between American presidents is usually a hand-written letter from the outgoing president to the incoming president.

Each letter has differed in style and substance, from the humorous to the personal to the instructive.

Barack Obama’s 2017 letter to Donald Trump concluded: “Michelle and I wish you and Melania the very best as you embark on this great adventure, and know that we stand ready to help in any ways which we can. Good luck and Godspeed.”

I think the chance of Trump leaving a letter for Joe Biden is about 1 in 30,534 — which is also the number of false or misleading claims Trump has made since assuming office, according to Washington Post fact checkers (Google their Jan. 17 update).

But if Trump did leave a letter, I can imagine something like this:

Mr. Fake President —

No, no, no! I did NOT incite the Insurrection! Rudy did, he really did, when he told my very fine and very special people at my Save America rally: “So let’s have trial by combat!”

Besides, the election was rigged!

We’ll see what happens.

Donald.
