Twitter Takes a Stab at Writing the Note Donald Trump Left for Joe Biden on Inauguration Day

Making Up
Some users joked that Trump's letter might be a hasty, last-minute attempt to make up with Biden and apologize for all the insults he hurled during the 2020 presidential election. These jokes were mostly predicated on the belief that Trump is guilty of some crimes he will have to answer for as a civilian — whether that's incitement, as his second impeachment charges, or something else.
TV Remote Instructions
Others joked about Trump's habits of watching cable news and eating fast food, figuring he might think Biden would need those same amenities.
'Jersey Shore'
A few users dredged up infamous letters exchanged between TV characters over the years, including one from Jersey Shore nearly two decades ago. The obscurity of the joke only seemed to make it more funny for those who got it.
Lyrics
For some, the first things that came to mind were song lyrics with a direct address, capturing the dynamic they imagined between Trump and Biden. In addition to Eminem's "Stan" listed above, users quoted Kendrick Lamar's "Mortal Man," Drake's "Hotline Bling" and Chief Keef's "Love Sosa," among others.
Middle Finger
Most assumed that Trump's letter to Biden would come with animosity, and many assumed that it would be short and inarticulate as well. In fact, many guessed it could be summed up with one simple hand gesture.
M.A.S.H. Game
Some joked that Trump's letter to Biden would be a simple pencil-and-paper game played by school children, such as the "M.A.S.H." game.
SNL's 'Dear Sister'
Finally, some related the melodrama of Trump's letter to a fan-favorite SNL sketch, "Dear Sister." Biden swore the oath of office at noon on Wednesday, officially making him the 46th president of the United States.
