Netizens share comical letters
“Dear Joe, I wrote you but you still ain’t calling. I left my cell, my pager, and my home phone at the bottom. I wrote two letters back in autumn you must not a got em. There probably was a problem at the post office or something,” a user on Twitter wrote, guessing what the 45th president may have written in the note. “I wonder what color crayon he used,” another said. One other guessed, “Joe, Here's my birthday. Remember it. It's the password to all of our accounts.” Another wrote, “To Whom It May Concern: I won. I will release my plans soon, they are amazing the best anyone has ever seen. No one is stronger than me. Send me your money. Fight hard. Everyone loves me. I am not leaving. Signed, President Trump.”
During his concluding days of presidency, Trump had repeatedly hurled unfounded claims about the election steal, shouting that President-elect Biden was "not gonna take this White House!” At the rallies, adding that he would “fight like hell” to hold on to the presidency. In his speeches, the 45th had bitterly complained about his election loss — which he insisted that he had won “by a lot.” Vouching for Vice President Mike Pence’s support, Trump had told his supporters at a Georgia rally: “I hope that our great vice president comes through for us. He’s a great guy. Of course, if he doesn’t come through, I won’t like him quite as much.” He added, “No, Mike is a great guy.”
