Biden says the White House is cooperating fully with his transition, but that Trump still won't speak to him

It ended a two-week standoff in which Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris were forced to develop an unofficial transition without full access to the federal government and its vast resources.

President Donald Trump returning from the golf course on November 7, the day networks widely called the election for Joe Biden.Asked if there had been "backchannel" communications with Trump during that time, Biden said he had not heard anything. "I believe that his chief of staff and my chief of staff have spoken, but no, I have not heard anything from President Trump," Biden said. He described outreach from national security officials and the coronavirus task force, and expects to receive the Presidential Daily Brief — which includes top-level national security information — "maybe as early as tomorrow.

"And there's a lot of meaty discussion, and I must say, the outreach has been sincere. It's not been begrudging so far. And I don't expect it to be."for top cabinet positions on Tuesday, including Antony Blinken as secretary of state, Alejandro Mayorkas for homeland security, and Avril Haines for director of national intelligence.

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.

thegarance When Jill and he head over to the WH, Jill can bring them a little gift of matching TO GO cups.

Lmao. What a child.

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

realDonaldTrump is our president.

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'.
