Biden hosted Trump at the White House following his trouncing of Vice President Kamala Harris, congratulating the past and future president with a surprisingly warm ceremony. This came after a heated election cycle that saw many on the left refer to Trump as an enemy of democracy who shouldn’t be allowed near the Oval Office again.
“Congratulations. Look forward to a smooth transition,” Biden said during the meeting. “Welcome back.”
“Politics is tough and it’s in many cases not a nice world, but it is a nice world today,” Trump said in response. “I appreciate it very much.”

It really goes to show that none of these people believed the propaganda they were pushing for months, it was all just a show.
