President Donald Trump, while signing a flurry of executive orders from the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office of the White House as the now 47th President of the United States, discovered a letter from his predecessor inside one of the desk’s drawers with the help of a Fox News reporter.
Trump was in the process of signing one of many executive orders on Monday after returning to the White House when Fox News’ Peter Doocy asked if President Biden left him a letter.
“He may have. Don’t they leave it in the desk? I don’t know,” Trump told Doocy before discovering a white envelope with the number “47” written on it. “Thank you, Peter. It could have been years before we found this thing.”
Trump then teased everyone in the room by suggesting they all read the letter together, before pulling back the reigns.
“Well, maybe I’ll read it first and then make that determination,” the president said, once again thanking the White House correspondent.
“Happy to help with the passing of the torch,” Doocy said.
