Politics is hard: Trump
“Politics is hard and it’s not always a good world, but it’s a good world today,” Trump said. In fact, this meeting is a traditional part of a peaceful transfer of power. However, earlier in the last term, Donald Trump himself refused to meet Joe Biden in this traditional meeting.
Expect smooth transition: Biden
The two leaders sat on yellow chairs in front of the fireplace in the White House. Biden told Trump that his team would “do everything to make sure you are comfortable” and have everything you need. “Congratulations and I look forward to a smooth transition,” Biden said.
Trump responded, “Politics is hard and it’s not a very nice world in many cases, but it’s a nice world today and I have great admiration for White House Chief of Staff Jeff Zients and the new Chief of Staff Susie.” Wills is attending the meeting.
