## Summary

Joe Biden’s forthcoming memoir reveals the full letter Donald Trump left for him in the Resolute Desk on inauguration day in 2021. Its warm, complimentary tone contrasts with Trump’s public claims that the election was stolen and his decision to skip Biden’s swearing-in, offering a glimpse of a more courteous private exchange after a turbulent transfer of power.

Trump wrote that he believed Biden loved the American people and would be true to them, adding that millions depended on his success. Biden said the letter felt as if it came from “two Donald Trump” and recalled that Trump had deeply destabilised democracy and did not offer the traditional meeting between presidents. The memoir, *Promise Me, America*, is due out next Tuesday; Trump has since continued to falsely claim the 2020 election was rigged.
