AI-generated summary
The political competition between Donald Trump and Joe Biden became tense with events such as the 2020 elections and the January 6 Congress raid. Biden announced that he was diagnosed with stage four prostate cancer in May 2025.
In his letter, which he started with the address "Dear Joe", Donald Trump stated that it was an extraordinary privilege to work in the Oval Office and that history echoed in every corner of the place.
Advising Biden to remember where he is every day and the names that shaped human history before him, Trump included the following statements in his letter:
"Many presidents have come and gone who only served as Republicans or Democrats. They were largely unable to change history, they were simply swept along by the relentless current of history. This will not happen to you because I know how much you love the American people."
Noting that he not only meets the past but also carries the hopes and dreams of the entire nation on his shoulders, Trump stated that millions of people trust Biden's success.
Trump concluded his letter with the words "God bless you and Jill, God bless America" and signed "Donald".
The warm language of the letter contrasts markedly with the harsh public debates between the two leaders.
During the election period, Trump targeted Biden with the words "low-witted", "a complete failure" and "Sleepy Joe", claimed that he would cause violence in cities and continued his objections to the 2020 election results.
Biden, on the other hand, called Trump "an existential threat to America" in his speech in Iowa in June 2019 and accused him of dividing the country.
Evaluating this situation in his memoirs, Biden stated that there were two different Trumps and drew attention to the contradiction between the attitude in the period leading up to the January 6 Congress raid and the friendly attitude in the letter.
According to the book excerpt in The Atlantic, Biden noted that he encountered the same warm attitude when he hosted Trump, who won his second term, in the Oval Office in November 2024, and that this situation surprised him.
Publisher Hachette Book Group announced that the Covid-19 epidemic, the Ukraine-Russia War and the withdrawal process from the 2024 election race are also discussed in the book.
Biden, who publicly announced his diagnosis of stage four prostate cancer, which had spread to his bones, in May 2025, announced that he had reduced his book promotion trips due to his health condition.
In an interview with People magazine, Biden stated that the cancer did not show any new spread in the last two tests and that he was taking eight pills a day.
Stating that he did not know that he had cancer while he was in office, Biden said, "There were no symptoms of the disease. If I had known that I felt weak due to cancer, I would have resigned. I would not have continued the race because I thought an 80-year-old man with cancer should not run for president. However, this was not the case, I objectively believed that I was the most equipped person for this job."

Speaker of the Grand National Assembly of Turkey, Numan Kurtulmuş, met with MHP Chairman Devlet Bahçeli at the Grand National Assembly of Turkey within the scope of the work of the monitoring commission planned to be established within the Parliament.

Evaluating the early election allegations, Gül emphasized that there is no legal obstacle to President Erdoğan's re-candidacy and touched upon the economy and the fight against terrorism.
AK Party presented the bill to the Parliament, which provides for the deletion of General Health Insurance (GSS) premium debts dating back to January 1, 2017. The regulation aims to remove the debt burden of 2.8 million citizens.
