    I am not sure how long this tradition goes back but recent presidents have left letters/notes to their successors in the Oval office for the incoming president to find. When I read these letters it brought a smile to my face and renewed my respect for these amazing individuals that have led the country in the past. We may not support all their policies or agendas but these were all proud Americans who show a great respect for the office they serve.

    I wonder if Donald Trump will continue this tradition? Do you think he will leave Biden a letter and if he does will it be classy or vindictive? Will he offer advice or criticism.

    If you haven't read these letters take a few minutes to read the ones in the link below.

    Reagan started it, and of course Trump continued it. Traditionally it's been the receiver who releases it to the public.

    Trump did leave one for Biden. All Biden has said that it was very" generous"????? Maybe he eft him a donation although I doubt that?

    It really doesn't matter what Trump wrote. He is probably hoping that if he writes something nice, Biden might help him not get impeached, and everyone will think he is really not such a bad guy. Trump will do whatever he thinks will help him at any particular moment, devoid of any conscience or morals.

    I am glad that Trump continued the tradition. I hope it is an inspirational message.

    Certainly. He can sign those XO’s cancelling Dirty Donnie’s from anywhere. And he will.

    Trump doesn't care for tradition one bit. He has stomped on norms of what was considered presidential behavior for four years. Now, we should celebrate that he did a decent thing for once and left Biden a note? I don't think so. Too little, too late.

    Tradition is out the window now that we know elections can be cheated. This is the dawn of a new era and the civil war gets closer every day

    He said he would not release it until he had spoken to Trump. I am putting bets on the fact that he first wants to ask Trump what the letters FU mean:p

    mind you “generous” could also mean that it is ten pages long........

    Fake News. The question in the OP was whether or not Trump would leave Biden a letter. He did. Yet another rendition of your anti-Trumpness is rather boring. He's gone. Get over it. We are a big country, with lots of big needs and challenges. Get your head in the game and quit with the endless rumination over the past.

    According to Biden the note Trump left is "generous". I hope Trump okays its release - it'll drive the QAnon folks even crazier than they already are......:lol:

    Hopefully, the content of Trump's letter will ridicule many of his supporters.

    Well, he threw Pence under the bus, thus, who's next?

    Liberals are an odd bunch. They think weird things.
