Biden’s Memoir Reveals Trump’s Unexpected Letter

Former President Joe Biden has shared in his upcoming memoir, “Promise Me, America,” that a letter from President Donald Trump was unexpectedly amicable. This letter was given to Biden in January 2021, before he took office. Biden’s memoir is set to release next week, with an excerpt published by The New York Times.

In the book, Biden contrasted two sides of Trump. Publicly, Trump disturbed the democratic process and avoided traditional presidential meetings. Yet, his letter showed warmth and well-wishing, using language that felt personal and supportive. Trump wrote, “You now have the opportunity to choose your place in history, and I know you will be true to yourself and the American people.” He further expressed that other presidents were caught in political tides but believed Biden would be different due to his dedication to the American people.

The Atlantic highlighted another part from Biden’s memoir. Biden described his meeting with Trump as unexpectedly friendly, with Trump making light of their political differences. Trump remarked, “You know, Joe, if it weren’t for politics, I believe we’d be good friends.” The meeting, described as cordial, contrasted Biden’s campaign assertions that Trump was a “threat to democracy.”

Biden’s reception of Trump raised questions. Radio host Charlamagne Tha God questioned this friendly interaction on his show, expressing confusion about the shift from describing Trump as a threat to the warm encounter at the White House.

White House communications director Steven Cheung criticized Biden in a statement to Fox News, claiming Biden tried to harm the nation and attacked Trump as a political opponent. Theo Wold, a former White House official during Trump’s term, noted Trump’s letter emphasized the serious role of the presidency, while arguing Biden was using the letter against Trump.

Fox News Digital sought a response from Biden’s office but received none at the time of publication.
