Donald Trump is going to be a resident of the White House for the second time on January 20. But before that, he stepped there on Wednesday at the invitation of current President Joe Biden. The current and next presidents have joined hands and promised a peaceful transfer of power.
Biden invited Trump to the White House on Wednesday. Biden didn't get the courtesy that Trump needed to show to a tough rival who won four years ago, but he didn't hesitate to complete the ceremony himself. At the time of the transfer of power in 2020, they were in a completely opposite position. By defeating Trump, Biden got the power to govern America. And Trump could not accept the defeat of that election.
During the presidential election campaign, Biden repeatedly called Trump a 'threat to democracy'. But this time, Biden congratulated him and said, 'Welcome back.' Biden told Trump he was looking forward to a peaceful transfer of power and “we will do everything we can to meet your needs.”
At that time, Trump said, 'Politics is difficult. In many cases it is not so beautiful, but today is beautiful. I appreciate this politics.' Trump has indicated that the transfer of power will be much more peaceful, but he still needs to sign some important legal documents before taking office on January 20.
It was thought that the meeting would discuss the role of the United States in the Russia-Ukraine war. Trump questioned US aid to Ukraine in the fight against Russia during the election campaign.
Former and future First Lady Melania Trump was not with Trump when he defended this invitation. He has kept his distance from the White House for most of his first term. Even in this election campaign, he was not seen much. Current First Lady Jill Biden sent a handwritten congratulatory note to Melania, wishing Trump well.
