Trump admits he hates his enemies. But what about his letter to Biden? | DW News

Donald Trump says he hates some of his political enemies -- and always will. But a newly revealed letter he left for Joe Biden in 2021 paints a very different picture of the US president.

In a recent interview on America's 60 Minutes, Trump was asked whether he could forgive political opponents such as Nancy Pelosi and James Comey, even if his entry into heaven depended on it. His answer was no.

Yet when Trump left the White House in January 2021, still refusing to concede his election defeat, he wrote Biden a gracious letter, wishing him and Jill Biden well and acknowledging the importance of his successor's place in American history.

Two moments, five years apart. One president, two seemingly contradictory sides of his character.

In this closing commentary on DW News' The Day, we examine the contrast between Trump's private words to Biden and his public refusal to forgive his political opponents.
