老布希時代不復存在？柯林頓：他會要大家找回來

Question

Accepted Answer

老布希與柯林頓的友誼，為小布希立了榜樣，而小布希也與自己的繼任者歐巴馬是好友，反觀現任總統川普，則與布希家族關係不睦，因為2016年總統大選時，老布希次子、佛羅里達州前州長傑布．布希（Jeb Bush）爭取共和黨提名，初選時遭川普嘲諷「沒挑戰力」；小布希曾痛批川普是「吹牛大王」，並把票投給當時的民主黨總統候選人希拉蕊。 在 Instagram 查看這則貼文 You may have noticed a letter that went viral on the internet this week. The letter is from George H.W. Bush’s presidential library. I hadn’t read it in a long time, until yesterday. It moved me to tears, just like it did all those years ago. It’s the letter that President Bush left in the Oval Office for my husband, back in January of 1993. They had just fought a fierce campaign. Bill won, President Bush lost. In a democracy, that’s how it goes. But when Bill walked into that office for the very first time as President, that note was waiting for him. It had some good advice about staying focused on what mattered, despite the critics. It wished him happiness. And it concluded with these words: “You will be our President when you read this note. I wish you well. I wish your family well. Your success is now our country’s success. And I am rooting hard for you. George.” That’s the America we love. That is what we cherish and expect.
