Donald Trump’s astonishingly warm letter might not be as sweet as it seems, according to an insider.

Former President Joe Biden dropped jaws with his upcoming book, Promise Me, America, in which he claimed Trump left behind a note dripping with humility and reverence for the presidency as he vacated the office in 2021.

It was an astonishing contrast to the acrimonious relationship that was playing out in public, where Trump fled Washington, D.C., for Biden’s inauguration and claimed that the election had been “stolen.”

“I would bet a large sum of money this was not written by the president, and likely not one of his speechwriters either,” The View co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin said in a post on X. She was Trump’s White House director of strategic communications in 2020, and also served as assistant to the president.

“My guess is it was written by someone on his correspondence staff,” she continued. “They send birthday wishes etc on behalf of the WH.”

Biden shared the letter in full in his upcoming tome, which is published next Tuesday. The New York Times obtained an excerpt.

“You now have the opportunity to choose your place in history, and I know you will be true to yourself and the American people,” “Donald” wrote in the letter.

“Many presidents have come and gone who simply governed as Republicans or Democrats. Largely, they did not change history, they were just swept along in its relentless tide. This will not happen to you because I know how much you love the American people.”

Trump would have been 74 when the note was penned. It was markedly free of the brash rhetoric he has historically served up to his great rival, who would have been 78 when he received it. Trump once called Biden “the worst candidate” in history, and launched a merciless campaign about the Democrat’s age, calling him “Sleepy Joe.”
