President-elect Donald Trump and President Joe Biden held their highly anticipated meeting at the White House on Wednesday morning.
Trump said: “It is a nice world today, and I appreciate very much a transition that’s so smooth. It will be as smooth as it can get, and I very much appreciate that, Joe.”
President Biden: “You’re welcome.”
Biden added: “Well, Mr. President-elect and former President Donald, congratulations, and looking forward to having a smooth transition.”
Many on X joked that Biden looks “happy” and “energetic” to speak with Trump.
Earlier this week, Trump outlined his plans to “dismantle” the so-called “deep state” and take back American democracy from Washington’s “corruption.”
In a video message, Trump’s ten-point plan tries to change how the federal government works, focusing on changing long-standing bureaucratic structures and practices in the national security and intelligence areas. His plan includes executive orders, reforms, and a push for structural changes within government agencies. It focuses on openness and responsibility.
