跟进:拜登在回忆录中公开特朗普2021年留给他的亲笔信:信封只写「给46」、信中称相信他忠于自己与国家

前总统拜登在即将出版的回忆录《Promise Me, America》中首次全文公开特朗普2021年离任时留在椭圆形办公室给他的两页亲笔信。这封信被拜登保密了近六年,《纽约时报》11月10日率先报道其内容,美联社已审阅了信件的影印件并证实其细节。
信写在白宫信纸上,日期是2021年1月20日拜登就职当天,特朗普用他标志性的黑色记号笔手写,信封上只写着「给『46』」,即第46任总统。信中称呼「亲爱的乔」,特朗普写道,他相信拜登会忠于自己、忠于美国人民,并赞许他对国家的热爱,落款是「真诚地,唐纳德」。这封信写于国会山骚乱两周之后,也是在特朗普拒绝出席拜登就职典礼的背景下留下的。
拜登在就职当天就向少数幕僚提过这封信,称它「非常大方」,但只给他们看过信封、没有让任何人读内容,此后近六年一直守口如瓶。他在回忆录中写道,这封信让他觉得「仿佛有两个唐纳德·特朗普」。拜登自己2025年离任时也给特朗普留了一封信。
白宫没有否认这封信的真实性,同时批评了拜登的执政记录。这本480页的回忆录由 Little, Brown 出版,定于11月17日上市,距拜登84岁生日还有三天。

Follow-Up: Biden's Memoir Publishes the Handwritten Letter Trump Left Him in 2021, Addressed Simply 'To 46'
Former President Joe Biden has published, for the first time in full, the two-page handwritten letter Donald Trump left for him in the Oval Office in 2021, in his forthcoming memoir Promise Me, America. Biden kept the letter's contents secret for nearly six years. The New York Times first reported its contents on November 10, and the Associated Press has reviewed a photocopy of the letter and confirmed its details.
Written on White House stationery and dated January 20, 2021, Biden's inauguration day, the letter was handwritten in Trump's signature black Sharpie, in an envelope addressed simply "To '46'", for the 46th president. Addressed "Dear Joe", it said Trump believed Biden would be true to himself and to the American people and praised his love of the country, and was signed "Sincerely, Donald". It was written two weeks after the Capitol riot, and left even as Trump declined to attend Biden's inauguration.
Biden told a handful of aides on inauguration day that Trump had left him a note and called it "very generous", but he showed them only the envelope and let no one read it, keeping its contents private for nearly six years. In the memoir he writes that the letter left him feeling "as if there were two Donald Trumps". Biden himself left a letter for Trump when he departed in 2025.
The White House did not deny the letter's authenticity, while attacking Biden's record in office. The 480-page memoir, published by Little, Brown, goes on sale on November 17, three days before Biden turns 84.
