President Donald Trump redecorated the Oval Office with many of the same artifacts from his first White House term.

Ronald Reagan scribbled a note in 1989 to his successor above an elephant cartoon. The tradition, started perhaps inadvertently, was continued by Joe Biden.

President Joe Biden will leave a letter for President-elect Donald Trump before leaving the Oval Office for the final time on Monday as part of tradition among outgoing presidents, according to a report.
