“Joe, you know I won.”

Social media users have taken guesses at what former president Donald Trump wrote to his successor President Joe Biden after he revealed he’d left him a “private” letter.

During the transition of power in the US, it’s a tradition for outgoing presidents to leave a note to their successors.

Mr Trump broke a series of traditions during the transfer of power to Mr Biden’s administration, including insisting the result of the November election was fraudulent, and never acknowledging his successor’s win.

But Mr Biden revealed on Wednesday, Mr Trump had left him a “generous” letter.

“The president wrote a very generous letter,” Mr Biden said. “Because it was private, I won’t talk about it until I talk to him. But it was generous.”

Speculation on social media was sent into overdrive, with some users posting what they imagined a letter from Mr Trump to Mr Biden might look like.

The results were predictably hilarious.
