Sounds like the best of both worlds.
Of course Trump won’t speak to Biden, because Trump is an overgrown man child who does not any sense of common decency. So I don’t think we should waste any further time and effort on Trump and our expectations of him.
If you keep watching the dog sniff its butt and eat its own shit over and over again... Who’s the dumbass? The dog, doing what dogs do, or you, still watching, as if time will change what the dog is?
Trump got impeached for pressuring a foreign ally to create a false narrative about Bidens behavior as VP. He also manufactured a story about illicit behavior from Biden only living son who struggles w/addition & then denigrated him during a debate. And Trump wont talk to Biden?
He should try candy.
Whew! Can you imagine the bullshit Biden would have to wade through if Trump insisted on speaking with him
What could 45 say? He knows nothing, except how to be corrupt. Biden doesn’t need to have a conversation with a thug.

thats good, trump only lies, soo let him play golf,

I’d see the point of talking to Trump if Biden were planning to open a fake university. Other than that, I presume he can do without Trump’s 'wisdom'.
