No plans for Trump to invite Biden to White House, source says

Source: CNN

There are no plans for President Trump to invite president-elect Joe Biden to the White House in the coming days, according to a source familiar with the matter. Traditionally, there is an Oval Office meeting between incoming and outgoing presidents.

Trump has often referenced his Nov. 10, 2016, meeting with Obama, including what he was told about North Korea.

Trump, as made clear in his statement, is still contesting the election, so those traditional steps of a transition won't happen anytime soon.

Less clear is whether the other, more granular aspects of the transition will occur, particularly at agencies and among staff. One person familiar with the matter said there haven't been explicit instructions disseminated from the White House on how to proceed.

Joe knows the White House pretty well already--
And I'm sure he will be given a very happy welcome from the household staff, who among other things will be glad to have a "chief guest" who cares about their health.

And about the towels-- have never forgotten what the maids at his golf club said, that when he would stay there, he'd ruin all the towels with his orange makeup.

The only parts of the White House Trump was aware of were the Oval Office (for photo-ops only) kitchen, dining room, the upstairs residence, the bunker, and every bathroom on the property. He's still not sure where Malaria sleeps.
