Unlike past incoming presidents, Trump knows how to get his agenda done because he already had one term sitting in the Oval Office.

The Dec. 30 edition of The Republican carried a front page article entitled “Jimmy Carter dies at 100.” Regarding the 52 hostages held for 444 days by Iran, the story said this: “ (Carter’s) negotiations ultimately brought all the hostages home alive, but in a final insult, Iran didn’t release them until the inauguration of Ronald Reagan.”

Trump's role in securing a hostage deal in Gaza before taking office drew parallels with Iran's release of American hostages in 1981.

Biden is in the unique position of writing a letter — if he so chooses — to Trump, his successor and the predecessor who left a note for him.
