Isn't there a tradition in The United States that the out going President has to write a letter to the next President for only the President to see? I'd love to see those letters.

I figure that people don't care or don't understand.

They probably do, and it's probably something bland like, "good luck on your new job, and if you ever want to chat give me a call".

Whatever Donald Trump has to say to his successor, it's still probably better than the note that UK Ex-Treasury secretary Liam Byrne left for his successor in 2010, which simply said: 'There's no money left'.

^ There was a tradition, seems doubtful tRump would be that respectful, but if he does write Biden... I'd LOVE to read that letter!

Well, I know what it wouldn’t say ... “See you on Twitter”.

All the living Presidents: (Carter, Bush, Clinton, Obama) attend a monthly lunch together, if they are able to. I wonder if Trump would attend.

I'd love to hear that lunch conversation.

Biden wouldn't be there, it is former Presidents.

I think that many forget that United States Presidents hold that title for the rest of their lives. There is always President George Bush. Always President Jimmy Carter. And so on.

Want to add that President Carter is the same age as my father.

Joe has had a speech impediment since youth. He was a stutterer. He overcame it and went on to have an honorable political career even though it does flair up from time to time. I suppose folks laugh at other folks with disabilities when they see them.
