The New York Post reported that Trump praised the incoming president, writing that he believed Biden will be true to himself and the American people.

Biden wrote in his memoir that receiving the friendly message felt as if there were two Donald Trumps, contrasting the private note with Trump's public persona, Fox News reported. The New York Post reported that Biden showed the letter to some of his staff after his 2021 inauguration without letting anyone read it, describing the message that day as very generous. [1][2]
