In more than a year of campaigning for the US presidency election in 2023, former President Trump was played dirty by current President Biden, who gave the green light to judges and prosecutors to find every way- witch hunt to find fault, to try Mr. Trump, fine Mr. Trump, a total of more than 500 million USD, and try to make Mr. Trump not qualified to run for US President, or if he is qualified to run, he will lose.
However, in the end, former President Trump was re-elected, and will be the US President for another term, and will be the 47th US President, term 2024-2028.
Mr. Trump has threatened that if he is re-elected President, he will take revenge on all those who have wronged him, who have found fault with him, did witch hunt to him, tried him for various crimes, Mr. Trump will have them to be imprisoned to a “decayed shackle” – the longest prison term allowed by US law – to set an example for future generations of US Presidents, that the mentality and physically torture, ill treatment, abuse, cruelty, witch hunt – of former Presidents, treating former Presidents like low-class criminals, street criminals, humiliating the honor of an entire country, especially a great country like America, which Mr. Biden has cowardly allowed to do.
And now, after Mr. Trump was announced as the winner, at the end of 2024, some people close to the current President Biden began to seek to withdraw from the political stage, seeking to avoid Mr. Trump’s revenge – if any.
Revenge is a human nature. The Chinese once said, “It is not too late to take revenge after 10 years.”
American Hollywood cinema, and the world’s cinema in general, along with countless novels, short stories, plays have been written, created, fictionalized, or true stories, to talk about revenge, praise revenge, feel the pleasure of taking revenge, and consider it the punishment of justice, the restoration of justice, the fairness of justice.
However, Vietnamese people have a different perspective, Vietnamese people do not consider revenge as the Restoration of justice, do not consider “it is not too late to take revenge after 10 years” as a good thing, do not see the joy in taking revenge.
Vietnamese people from ancient times have considered forgiveness, humanity, and non-revenge as the right thing, the thing worth doing, the thing worth teaching their children to follow.
President Ho Chi Minh had abolished the Ministry of Justice in Vietnam since 1960, and it was not until 1980, after President Ho Chi Minh passed away, that the Ministry of Justice of Vietnam was re-established.
For 20 years, Vietnam did not have a Ministry of Justice, but justice was still guaranteed, the people were happy, society was fair, and there was not much injustice like in countries with a Ministry of Justice.
In the history of Vietnam, there have been many humanitarian and non-revengeful acts that have been carried out.
In 1407-1427, Vietnam was invaded by the Ming Dynasty of China. During the 20 years that the Ming Dynasty of China ruled Vietnam, it committed many brutal acts against the Vietnamese people. In 1427, the Ming army lost, more than 50,000 Ming soldiers were captured as prisoners of war, many Vietnamese people petitioned King Le Loi to punish the Chinese prisoners of war to avenge the crimes that the Ming army had committed against the Vietnamese people during the 20 years of war.
But King Le Loi said the following humane words:
“Revenge is a natural thing for people. But doing humane things, treating the prisoners of war well, so that the hatred between the two nations is eliminated, then that humane act will be recorded in history for thousands of years, and there will be no more worries about war in the future”.
King Le Loi ordered all Ming prisoners of war to be released, more than 50,000 people. King Le Loi also ordered the Ming prisoners of war to be given 500 boats and 20,000 horses, and enough food to return home. The Chinese Ming generals was moved to tears when they returned. But Chinese history books do not say much about this humane act of Vietnam, talking very briefly.
During the Vietnam War with the Americans, there were 591 American prisoners of war captured by Vietnam, they were treated humanely, the clearest evidence is that when the American prisoners of war were returned in 1973, all 591 American prisoners of war were healthy, proving that they were well fed and well treated.
Recently, there has been some information on the internet saying that Vietnam treated American prisoners of war brutally and inhumanely, and this information used pictures of American prisoners of war in Japanese prison camps to attribute them to American prisoners of war in Vietnamese prison camps.!!!
That is a shameless blatant distortion.
Photos do not lie, look at the real photos of American prisoners of war returned by Vietnam in 1973, all show that American prisoners of war are very healthy, fat and beautiful. The only American nurse who was taken prisoner, was detained in Hoa Lo-Hilton Hanoi, was given a separate room, and was allowed to raise a cat for fun. When she was repatriated in 1973, she was able to bring the cat back to the United States.
Therefore, humanity and non-revenge are the best qualities of human beings and national leaders.
Therefore, if President Donald Trump takes office after January 20, 2025, when he officially as President of the United States, he would eliminate all hatred, not take revenge on anyone, to set an example of humane treatment for generations of Americans, and to set an example of humanity for the whole world, as King Le Loi of Vietnam did, “Revenge is a natural thing for people. But doing humane things, treating soldiers well, so that the hatred between two nations is eliminated, then that humane action will be recorded in history for thousands of years, and there will be no more worries about war in the future”.
If US President Donald Trump does not take revenge on anyone, to set an example of the great humanity of the United States, then President Trump will be the greatest President of the United States, and at the same time, is the greatest President in the whole world, the greatest President in the entire history of mankind, since the advent of human civilization more than 10,000 years ago, until now, and forever after. ///
