I think generally every President was classy and gracious in leaving.

George Bush was helpful to Obama.

Clinton was helpful to Bush. They became pals too.

They are politicians after all, and they are groom to have this gracious behaviour.

I think I know for sure, after Trump leaves the office, he might be tweeting alot about what he would have done if he was still President. He may not have the etiquette of regular Presidents. And be very interfering.

Truth, justice, and the American way:

Congratulations on a remarkable run. Millions have placed their hopes in you, and all of us, regardless of party, should hope for expanded prosperity and security during your tenure.

This is a unique office, without a clear blueprint for success, so I don't know that any advice from me will be particularly helpful. Still, let me offer a few reflections from the past 8 years.

First, we've both been blessed, in different ways, with great good fortune. Not everyone is so lucky. It's up to us to do everything we can (to) build more ladders of success for every child and family that's willing to work hard.

Second, American leadership in this world really is indispensable. It's up to us, through action and example, to sustain the international order that's expanded steadily since the end of the Cold War, and upon which our own wealth and safety depend.

Third, we are just temporary occupants of this office. That makes us guardians of those democratic institutions and traditions -- like rule of law, separation of powers, equal protection and civil liberties -- that our forebears fought and bled for. Regardless of the push and pull of daily politics, it's up to us to leave those instruments of our democracy at least as strong as we found them.

And finally, take time, in the rush of events and responsibilities, for friends and family. They'll get you through the inevitable rough patches.

Michelle and I wish you and Melania the very best as you embark on this great adventure, and know that we stand ready to help in any ways which we can.

Good luck and Godspeed,

BO

This is the first time I have ever seen Bosco post something that wasn't attacking, mocking or otherwise hating on liberals.
And from CNN of all places.

What is going on?

That's pretty much a given, Greta: the repulsive little shit didn't wait until he was sworn in before he started trying to govern the country, so he's unlikely to handle being replaced as president with any grace, is he?

Then again, he would have experienced the office himself and know how hard it is. He might surprise us. And actually stay out of it.

You know in my country. My PM responses to people tweeting him. Except, it seem to be more constructive stuffs. Like the PM tweets and complain about needing to unify a single cashless system in the country where it will be affordable for all merchants.
And then a person tweets, "Challenge Accepted, I will submit my proposal to you in one week!"

And the PM tweets, "Bring it on! Looking forward to your proposal."

See, Tweeting can be constructive. But not sure if the dude can solve the issue with his "solution" though. He was just tendering for a big job.
