Of course DJT hasn’t written an inaugural letter, to be read by his successor. This is one of many departures from tradition for which DJT will fail to be remembered.
Already a Chicago Tribune writer has tried his hand at a satirical inaugural letter. UD offers a letter in the form of a poem – a poem in which DJT shows remarkable literary culture.

LETTER TO MY SUCCESSOR, BY DONALD J. TRUMP
They say you’re giving the place a deep clean.
Good call. I wish I could explain how I
Soiled the great gift of the presidency.
Didn’t want to! I swear I didn’t mean
To leave it like this: a moral pigsty.
But of course I know you don’t believe me.
Consider, though, how human beings lean
Toward self-destruction. Don’t believe me? Try
Kafka. Cioran. Freud. Dostoevsky.
From a review of an odd film I’ve seen:
“The film focuses on psycho-bi-
ological forces that make you your own enemy.
The lust for chaos; the lust to demean …
To demean yourself! You self-glorify,
But in a sick way. But only outwardly.
The hunger for colossal failure in
The drive for success; and for death in any
Vigilant and violent hypochondry.”
Raskolnikov skulks away; the final scene
A shabby nothing as I hiss goodbye.
Some day you’ll find a way to pity me.

UPDATE: He did write a letter after all.
Probably a lot like the one I wrote.
