Critics of Donald Trump (me included) need to spend more time watching the US president and perhaps relatively less parsing the details of his policies. I did this last week while he was sounding off for 20 minutes in an impromptu press conference with reporters that covered everything from North Korea (“there is no longer a nuclear threat”) to his legal issues (“there was no obstruction, there was no collusion”) to tariffs on China. And when you do, you see him as much of middle America does — strong, concise and cogent.
唐納•川普(Donald Trump)的批評者(包括我)需要花更多時間觀察這位美國總統,或許還要相對減少對他的政策細節的剖析。上週,當他在一個臨時新聞發佈會上對記者們滔滔不絕20分鐘時,我這樣做了。發佈會內容無所不包,從北韓(「美國不再面臨來自北韓的核威脅」)到涉及他個人的司法問題(「沒有妨礙司法,沒有串謀」)以及對中國商品加徵關稅。當你這樣做時,你會看到他就像美國中產階級一樣——強大、簡練、令人信服。
