Biden welcomes Trump for fireside chat as he prepares to watch his legacy burn

Trump was back in the Oval Office to discuss the transfer of power – a courtesy he never extended when he lost in 2020

Nancy Pelosi once said Donald Trump would be “fumigated out” of the Oval Office if he lost the 2020 presidential election. Joe Biden relished describing him as “the former guy” and “loser”. They thought the American nightmare was over.

Then, like in the movies, Democrats woke up in a cold sweat only to realise it wasn’t a dream after all. Instead they are doomed to be supporting players in a sequel. Trump: The Revenge. This time, it’s personal.
