据《纽约时报》获取的该书节选及信件副本显示，美国前总统乔·拜登在其即将出版的新书中，披露了唐纳德·特朗普总统2021年写下的一封信的内容——当时特朗普准备结束首个总统任期，离开白宫。
据《纽约时报》报道，特朗普在致拜登的信中写道：“许多总统来来去去，他们单纯以共和党人或民主党人的身份执政。大体而言，他们并未改变历史，只是被历史无情的洪流裹挟着前进。这种情况不会发生在你身上，因为我知道你有多么热爱美国人民。”
拜登此前曾间接提及他的前任兼现任继任者留下了一封“非常慷慨的信”，但直到现在他都拒绝谈论信的内容。
这封据报道日期为2021年1月20日的信件，与特朗普2020年输给拜登后发表的公开声明风格迥异。特朗普一再宣称选举被窃取，拒绝向继任者有序移交权力，在法院对选举结果提出质疑，并敦促盟友阻止对他失败结果的认证。
2021年1月6日，当国会正在投票是否认证选举结果时，特朗普的支持者突袭美国国会大厦，该事件由此达到顶点。尽管国会最终认证了拜登的胜选，但特朗普至今仍否认2020年大选结果，去年他重返白宫后，还赦免了1000多名参与此次骚乱的人员。
特朗普在信中写道：“你不仅与过去相连，更将整个国家的希望与梦想扛在肩上。这一事实的分量从未离你而去，它是支撑你每一个决定的定盘星。”
他还写道：“你的力量、你最深层的能量源泉，来自于这样的认知——无数民众都在依靠你。他们的雄心与抱负就是你在这里的原因，有太多人期待着你的成功。”
拜登宣誓就职的日期与该信的日期相同，而特朗普并未按照多数在世总统的惯例出席就职典礼。在这位第46任总统离任后的几年里，特朗普对拜登发起了尖锐批评。
据《纽约时报》报道，拜登在其名为《答应我，美国》的新书中写道，当时的情形“仿佛有两个唐纳德·特朗普”，并称特朗普“严重动摇了民主的根基”。
这本计划于下周二发行的书中，拜登写道：“但就在那时，他却在那里用温暖的语言送上最真挚的祝福，听着就像来自一位老朋友。”
白宫通讯主任史蒂文·切松在一份声明中表示：“乔·拜登本该听取总统的明智之言，但他却反其道而行之，试图毁掉这个国家，并利用司法系统打击政治对手。”
他补充道：“拜登是个耻辱，美国还是在他不再担任总统的时候才会更好。”
NYT: Trump wished Biden well in newly disclosed 2021 letter

In his forthcoming book, former President Joe Biden discloses the contents of a 2021 letter written by President Donald Trump as he prepared to leave the White House after his first term, according to an excerpt of the book and a copy of the letter obtained by The New York Times.
“Many presidents have come and gone who simply governed as Republicans or Democrats,” Trump wrote in the letter to Biden, according to Times. “Largely, they did not change history, they were just swept along in its relentless tide. This will not happen to you because I know how much you love the American people.”
Biden has previously alluded to a “very generous letter” left by his predecessor, and now successor, but until now had declined to talk about the contents.
The reported letter, which was dated January 20, 2021, strikes a different tone than Trump’s public statements after losing the election to Biden in 2020. Trump repeatedly claimed the election was stolen and refused to conduct an orderly transfer of power to his successor, challenging the results in court and pressing his alliesto move to block the certification of his loss.
The matter came to a head when Trump supporters stormed the US Capitol on January 6, 2021, as Congress was voting on whether to certify the results. While Congress ultimately certified Biden’s victory, Trump has continued to deny the 2020 results and pardoned over 1,000 people involved in the riot when he returned to the White House last year.
“Not only are you joined by the past, but you carry the hopes and dreams of the entire nation on your shoulders. The gravity of that fact never leaves you, it is the anchor that grounds every decision you make,” Trump wrote in the letter.
“Your strength, your deepest reservoir of energy, comes from the knowledge that millions upon millions of people are depending on you. Their ambitions and aspirations are the reason you are here, with so many counting on your success,” he continued.
Biden was inaugurated the same day as the letter and Trump did not attend the festivities as is customary for most living presidents. Trump has sharply criticized Biden in the years since the 46th president left office.
In his book, titled “Promise Me, America,” Biden writes it was “as if there were two Donald Trumps” and says Trump “deeply destabilized democracy,” according to the Times.
“But here he was, offering his best wishes in warm language that sounded like it was coming from an old friend,” Biden wrote in the book, which is set to be released next Tuesday.
In a statement, White House communications director Steven Cheung said, “Joe Biden should have heeded the president’s wise words, but instead he tried to destroy this country and weaponize the justice system against his political enemies.”
“Biden is a disgrace, and America is better off with him no longer as president,” Cheung added.
