Trumps letter: "you cheated me. Cheated. In a huge way. Its sad"

I like how these former Presidents find a way to get along even when they have differences in politics.

"He was being a citizen in the highest sense of the word" I can not think of a better compliment to give to a former president of the USA

Trump to Biden: I'M STILL THE PRESIDENT, BY A LOT!

[affhb]

superficial or not, such a class act. it even gives me a bit of goosebumps just listening to him reading the letter. "Your success is our country success..."

Despite their political differences, I heard that Bush and Clinton were very good friends so much that Bush was a father figure to him. That's wonderful!!

Ah, yes, a time when Presidents of differing political backgrounds can show decency and respect for their successors.

When a US President is American before Democrat or Republican.

this will be the year, or rather next year will be the year that that tradition is broken.

Bill Clinton's Note: Don't get caught!

[jamesthomas]

I would say this is a great memory, but I wasn’t born yet, so I’ll just say this is a great throwback. I love throwbacks regardless if I was around or not especially great ones like this one.
