So why couldn’t Trump do this when Biden won in 2020…?

Seriously doubt it was substantive.
The Dems needed a fighter, check out Sanders dissection of why they lost.

Trump has always been fearful of him, he is the Anti-Trump.

After all that was said and done by Trump, Biden and Harris go quietly into the night.

What a charming photo, they both look rather happy don’t they? Did they finish off with some ice cream which Mr Biden rather enjoys.

Great to hear things were “smooth”, but I can only imagine Reuter's definition of smooth was Biden not forgetting the room he’s in and shouting banalities at reporters.
I love a bit of Joe - who doesn't? - but watching the Far Left prop up this elderly gentleman, whose cognitive decline over the last 4+ years has been painfully obvious, was heart-wrenching.
At this point, they’re not “transferring power” - they’re setting up a caretaker.

It will be smooth of course, since nothing Dems can do by now, except blaming why the lost.

How can you believe this idyll? How much dirt they poured on each other during the election campaign!!! Therefore, there is no trust in Trump either. He won't do anything good for achieving peace. So, don't relax.

Americans must now live according to the Pottery Barn rule: You break it, you bought it.
Except now it's "you break it, you blame the other side, even though you're on video dropping it, and your supporters believe that the other side hit you with an invisible Jewish space laser causing you to drop it".

Better than whining that you didn’t lose for four years like a sore loser…

Leave it to Biden and the Democrats to teach Trump and the Republicans how to accept defeat gracefully.

They hate each other intensely.

No one is paying attention to anything Sanders is saying
Trump has never been fearful of Sanders, now sure where you got that ruse. Lol
As they should

No lies.
No whining.
No riots.
No mobs trashing the Capitol.
That’s what you can expect from President Biden.

Perhaps Biden but unless you have been deliberately avoiding the news, the Dems and Harris's speech are all saying they are going to make the transition difficult, they are promoting discord right down to telling families to ban members that didn't vote Harris, they are calling over half the country stupid, uneducated, racist, sexists, etc...
So don't confuse Biden acting properly with the Dems doing it.
Biden is out he is going to go peacefully despite the left blaming him.
The rest of the Dems fringe that controls are out in force trying to make as much trouble as possible right down to trying to break up families.

The Dems are so much more gracious in defeat. Harris called up Trump to congratulate him and had a concession speech.
What did Trump do?
Whine that the election was stolen and rigged for four years like a sore loser…

A band I still enjoy listening to is called "old and in the Way", that's how I feel when I see those two together.
Antiquesaving
Really? You mean "Trump voters are sexist, racist, etc.." despite exist polls showing most voted on the economy?
Not lies????
Check out the view, MSNBC, CNN, etc.. every Harris supporter and pundit is on blaming racist and sexist Hispanics, Black men, white women, white men, etc... oh and Biden.
Really? Wait a bit, they left is already calling for protests on January 6th and before and once those black hoods from Antifa show up, take a guess what follows.
See my above reply to your other point.
But not what we can expect from the fringe left that control the Dems today.
stormcrow
Antiquesaving,
What Harris is doing and what Trump did on January 6th are two completely different things . . . And you know it!
Harris isn’t encouraging an angry mob to commit treason by attacking the capital.

Two men in serious mental decline there.
Trump may have asked about how his Tesla business is doing.
Antiquesaving
Well I guess it goes with the Dems territory spreading lies as usual.

Somewhat ironic that behind Biden on the right is a bust of Robert Kennedy, whose son helped deliver this office to the man sitting next to him.
WoodyLee
Never thought the two will meet but here it is.
Democracy or not it worked, let us hope that in 4 years Trump will do the same with the next Elect Pres.

Now that's a photo for the history books and posterity! Beautiful! Joe looks quite bemused! Good onya Joe.

The only thing Kennedy did was self-serving. What a chameleon.

The appointments are already announced, 8 DAYS after the results are in. Stunning.
The four-year leftist tears festival on display with the comments above is just a side bonus at this point. I reckon it'll be a generation though before the Dems manage to recover, never mind set their sights on their precious power again, especially watching the reaction from the losing side. Nothing has been learned, like nada.
When things get better, woke bureaucrats are sent packing, border secured, wars end, and business thrives that'll only infuriate them more.
Enjoy the ride, good people.
And to go back to the announcements and appointments, the formation of Vivek and Musks DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency ) is just gonna be next-level awesome. A lot of DEI appointments having some very sleepless nights.

The DOGE is just a way of giving something to his loyal Musk and Vivek, but at the same time getting them out of the way.

Stay under dude. It's just whining at this point. We get it, the need to dismiss, delegitimize and denigrate is very real. Three Ds, just made that up! ;P

Nope. Just pointing it out.

As is your god given right! Have a great day. I mean it.

Wrong article! But answers are still welcome.

write down the price of milk, gasoline, electricity and write down the stock market price today.
4 years from ow they will all be MUCH better

I don’t know about that.
Overall, the last two Republican administrations left the economy in a flaming wreck.
Unlucky or incompetent? Both?
