特朗普连发多条推特批评英国反恐 遭英首相谴责
2017-09-16 08:56:29 来源: 环球时报

  一声巨响打破了英国伦敦周五清晨的平静——一辆刚刚驶离伦敦西南帕森斯格林站的地铁列车突然发生爆炸,事件造成23人受伤。伦敦警察局已经将此次爆炸定性为恐怖袭击。目前,制造这起袭击的幕后黑手还尚不清楚。

  事件发生后,一张照片在社交网站广泛流传——一个放在超市购物袋里的白色小桶正在燃烧,里面还有金属线。这就是此次伦敦地铁恐袭案中的爆炸物。从照片上看,此爆炸物并未对地铁车厢造成严重破坏。据英国广播公司(BBC)15日报道,爆炸发生在列车最后一节车厢。一名男子告诉路透社,他当时听到刺耳的爆炸声,然后就看到有行李着火。另一名男子则表示,他坐在燃烧的车里,感觉有一个火球滚过他的头发,他的头皮被烧伤了。据悉,受伤的23人中多数是烧伤,还有人是在惊慌逃离中被踩踏致伤。

  英国《每日电讯报》15日称,警方正在进行大规模追捕,凶手目前尚未落网。英国警方反恐事务主管马克·罗利表示,经过评估这是一个简易爆炸装置引发的爆炸事件。《伦敦标准晚报》称,截至目前,没有发现第二个爆炸装置。BBC称,此次的爆炸装备有一个定时器。BBC的安全记者弗兰克·加德纳表示,“事件原本可能更糟糕”,因为炸弹“可能有一部分失败了”。

  恐袭发生后,英国首相特雷莎·梅主持召开了“眼镜蛇”紧急计划委员会会议,与警察局、安全部门以及情报部门官员商讨应对方案。她对迅速应对恐怖事件的急救服务部门表示了赞赏。伦敦市长则谴责恐怖分子,表示“伦敦永远不会被恐怖主义吓倒或者打败”。

  BBC15日称,在得知英国伦敦地铁遭恐袭后,美国总统特朗普在推特上连发多条推文,表示“这又是一起由失败的恐怖分子发起的袭击,这些在英国警方视线内的变态和狂人应该受到更严厉的惩罚”。《华盛顿邮报》称,伦敦爆炸后,特朗普批评英国的反恐。梅随后公开表示:“我不认为任何人的推测对此事是有益处的。目前警方正在紧张地调查事件真相,我们会尽全力调查这场‘懦夫行径’的袭击。”英国《卫报》称,梅谴责了特朗普有关的推特言论。英国《独立报》则称,特朗普在利用伦敦恐袭推进他的“旅游禁令”议程,该议程此前在美国引发多方批评。

  英国今年遭受多起恐怖主义袭击:3月在议会大厦附近的一起撞车和持刀攻击,5月在曼彻斯特演唱会上的自杀式爆炸,以及6月在伦敦桥附近的一起货车和持刀袭击。在今年发生四起恐怖袭击之后,英国处于高度戒备状况,并挫败多起恐袭阴谋。就在此次地铁爆炸案发生的前一天,英国还公开表示逮捕恐袭嫌犯的人数创新高,平均下来几乎达到每天抓一人的频率。

  自伦敦2005年7月7日恐袭爆炸案发生后,地铁爆炸案一直是英国人心中的隐痛。当时,4名受“基地”组织指使的英国人在伦敦三辆地铁和一辆巴士上引爆自杀式炸弹,造成52名乘客遇难、700多人受伤。而本周五最新的爆炸案件让人们对伦敦地铁的安全状态重新产生担忧。欧洲其他国家对此次袭击也非常关注。 德国总理默克尔表示,德国和英国团结在一起。 德国外交部发言人则在柏林向受伤者表示了慰问。他说,“在这个困难的情况下,德国人站在英国朋友的身旁”。

The Donald Trump presidency is a lot like a box of chocolates: you never know what you’re gonna get.

My apologies from the outset for using a line from probably the worst film (Forrest Gump) ever to win the award for best picture at the Academy awards. But after the bizarre last week in American politics (even by Trumpian standards), it seems strangely apt.

In the space of only a few days, Trump made not one but two separate deals with the Democratic leaders of the House of Representatives and Senate, both of which badly undercut the leaders of his own Republican party.

First, Trump hastily accepted an offer from Senate minority leader, Chuck Schumer, and House minority leader, Nancy Pelosi, to tie emergency funding for those hurt by Hurricane Harvey to a three-month extension of the debt limit and the federal government’s spending powers. The agreement flew in the face of a concerted Republican effort to tie Harvey relief money to a longer 18-month extension of the debt limit. Republicans wanted to push the debt fight further into the future because they need Democratic votes to extend it, since a vast number of party members are congenitally opposed to voting yes for anything that appears to increase the government’s ability to borrow and spend money.

By making the deal – and ensuring that the debt limit fight will arise again in December when Congress will probably be debating a number of other must-pass bills, including a trillion-dollar spending bill – Trump handed the Democrats enormous leverage. That was bad enough, but a few days later Trump compounded Republican misery by making another deal with the duo he’s been calling “Chuck and Nancy”. At a White House dinner, Trump apparently agreed to support legislation protecting from deportation “dreamers” – the children of undocumented immigrants who are not legally considered citizens.

This was an even more head-snapping concession since, just the week before, Trump’s attorney general, Jeff Sessions, announced that the Trump administration intended to wind down the programme that protects Dreamers. Moreover, Trump has made immigration enforcement and deporting undocumented immigrants perhaps the only consistent element of his administration. In return, the president supposedly got the Democrats to agree to support more money for border security, but not the border wall that Trump made the centrepiece of his 2016 campaign. For an allegedly top-notch deal-maker, this is a terrible deal.

What made Trump’s efforts to reach across the aisle to Democrats even more bemusing is that it stands in sharp contrast to pretty much everything else he’s done as president. Indeed, even though Trump appears to have no fixed principles, no moral centre and was previously a Democrat, he’s governed like a doctrinaire conservative Republican.

Since taking office, he and his Republican colleagues in Congress have pushed to reduce business and environmental regulation, repeal Obamacare (unsuccessfully), increase defence spending, slash anti-poverty programmes, push back on voting rights and civil rights protections and practically take the federal government out of the fighting climate change business.

On the few issues where Trump failed to heed Republican orthodoxy during the campaign – such as his calls to pull out of trade agreements, avoid foreign military entanglements and protect social insurance programmes such as Medicare and Medicaid – Trump has reversed course.

So why the sudden outreach to Democrats? Has a president with historically low approval ratings decided to work across the aisle in order to bolster his political fortunes? Has he, as some have suggested, come out as a true political independent? Or is Trump seeking to find a third political way between Democrats and Republicans?

The problem with even this type of speculation is that it completely misunderstands Trump. If there’s one thing we have learned over the past two years about America’s man-child president, it’s that all of his actions (not some, but all) are guided by his ego. There is no larger strategy at play and no long-term thinking afoot. The constant effort by journalists and pundits to place Trump on some recognisable political or ideological spectrum remains a fool’s errand. Trump is a reactive, impulsive, thin-skinned and easily flattered narcissist who has almost no understanding of, or interest in, actual policy issues. Anyone trying to predict what he’ll do next, based on a past understanding of how politicians are supposed to act, will almost certainly be wrong.

Indeed, there’s some evidence that one of the reasons Trump has warmed to Chuck and Nancy is that, according to one report, they “talk more in non-Washington terms that he understands”. He prefers them to the cold Republican leaders, Senate majority leader, Mitch McConnell, and House speaker, Paul Ryan. Then there’s the fact that Trump phoned both Schumer and Pelosi after their initial agreement to boast about the great press reception it was receiving. It’s not hard to imagine that a president in desperate need of constant validation and affirmation made the most recent deal on immigration because he wanted the same media members, whom he regularly berates, to say nice things about him.

It’s insane to suggest that the president would backtrack on a key campaign promise, alienate his political supporters and provide a lifeline to 800,000 undocumented immigrants all to win the 24-hour new cycle, but honestly with Trump, it’s almost certainly the best explanation.

All of this actually presents a unique short-term opportunity for Democrats, one that reminds me of one of my favourite (albeit unfair) jokes from the television show Seinfeld. According to the show’s most unlikable character, George Costanza, you could hold former British prime minister Neville Chamberlain’s head in the lavatory and “he’d still give you half of Europe”.

For Democrats, the path to policy success is more straightforward and less violent – flatter Trump, stroke his ego, speak in a language he understands and he might very well give you the political equivalent of “half of Europe”: single-payer health insurance, universal childcare and perhaps a pony for every American. I joke but, frankly, Chuck and Nancy would be fools not to make the effort. After all, it’s only a matter of time before Trump’s attention turns or he takes to his Twitter account to lash back at those politicians, journalists or Hollywood actresses who have wounded his fragile self-esteem.

If all of this sounds like America has kind of lost its mind… well, here we are. Welcome to Trump’s bizarro America where none of us knows what exactly will happen next.

(CNN) Less than an hour before Donald Trump fired accepted the resignation of Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price, the President made very clear why his Cabinet secretary was being let go.

"I don't like the optics," Trump said, adding: "We're renegotiating NAFTA, we renegotiating so many things and making much better deals. You'll be seeing other things come up. So I don't like to see somebody that perhaps there's the perception that it wasn't right."

Just in case you missed the point, Trump also noted: "I was disappointed because I didn't like it, cosmetically or otherwise."
"Optics." "Perception." "Cosmetically."

You get the idea.

Price was fired not because of the more than two dozen private flights he took at taxpayer expense. He was fired because he violated Trump's first principle: Never, ever make the boss look bad -- especially in the press.

Price had become a major distraction for Trump and his White House. On a week that Trump wanted the focus to be on his tax reform proposal, Price made the storyline all about how the President wasn't draining the swamp as promised. (Yes, Trump also picked a fight with the NFL, got caught flat-footed on the humanitarian crisis in Puerto Rico and saw his preferred candidate lose a Senate race in Alabama. But Trump isn't going to blame Trump for a bad week. Come on! Pay attention!)

Unlike, say, Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin, who has had his fair share of private plane issues too, Price lacked the personal relationship with Trump that might have saved him. Whereas Mnuchin was a wealthy New Yorker (like Trump), Price was a southern doctor who had spent more than a decade in Congress. He was not, and is not, uber-rich.

Trump then carried no real personal loyalty or investment in Price. And so, when Price started generating bad headlines, he was already starting in a bad place. He made things worse with his attempted defense of his private plane penchant -- noting that he had sought the approval of the administration before each of the flights and offering to pay $52,000 back to the government to cover the cost of his seat on these planes.

Mistake #1: Blaming the administration for all of this. White House press secretary Sarah Sanders was quick to note Thursday that the White House had no pre-approval of Price's flights. (That doesn't mean Price was lying; it just means that no one inside the actual White House signed off.)

Mistake #2: Offering to repay $52,000 when the total cost of the flights was in excess of $1 million. "It was over when he offered to pay part of the cost," one House member who served with Price told CNN's Lauren Fox. "That's admitting full guilt without full penance." (Also: Don't underestimate the fact that Price's lack of major wealth and seeming reluctance to repay the whole million bucks played a role in upping Trump's annoyance.)

The most important thing to remember about Trump -- in this and every situation -- is that he cares deeply about how things looks and how they're playing. He watches lots of cable TV. And when someone other than him causes bad headlines for his administration, that person is in immediate jeopardy.

"Bad headlines," one senior GOP congressional aide said, specifically citing the decision only to pay back money for his seat on the chartered aircraft, instead of the entire cost. "You're never going to survive with this President if you're clogging up cable with bad headlines."

Ultimately those bad headlines -- and bad lower thirds -- were the kiss of death for Price. Bad decisions can be forgiven. Bad headlines can't.

四面受敌!特朗普执政路越走越难?

编辑的话Introduction


近来,美国总统特朗普忙得是不可开交。与体育界的互怼还没结束,特朗普又被手下高级顾问团队的“邮件门”打乱了阵脚。在刚刚过去的联合国大会上,特朗普也在各种热点问题上与他国分歧明显。一波未平一波又起,特朗普力推的新医保法案面临支持票不够、可能无法通过的窘境,“通俄门”调查也在不断深化,切换到高速挡位。和就职时相比,特朗普锐气受挫明显,执政能力饱受质疑。现在仍四面受敌的他,执政之路恐越发难走。

四面受敌!特朗普国内“忙翻天”

特朗普“即兴”发起“文化战争”?


53%美国人:总统对NFL置评不合适


NFL上百名球员单膝跪地以表抗议


白宫也陷“邮件门”
特朗普的女婿贾里德·库什纳近日被媒体爆料曾使用私人电子邮箱账户同其他政府官员交流公务。他的律师当天承认库什纳的这一行为,但强调库什纳遵守政府保留文件记录的规定,且已将所有邮件转发到官方账户。《政治报》网站报道,库什纳同时使用他的白宫邮箱和私人邮箱,有时会用私人邮箱与白宫高级官员、外部顾问等就媒体报道、活动策划等问题互通邮件。这家媒体查阅了二十几封相关邮件,收发对象包括前白宫办公厅主任赖因斯·普里伯斯、前白宫首席战略师斯蒂芬·班农、白宫国家经济委员会主任加里·科恩和白宫发言人乔希·拉费尔。[点击详细]

与体育界“开怼”
自与媒体和演艺圈“结怨”后,美国总统唐纳德·特朗普又在推特上和体育明星卷入新一轮口水仗。近日,特朗普在一条推文中写道:“如果球员希望加入美国橄榄球联盟并因这一身份获得不菲收益,那么他或她就不应出现任何不尊重星条旗(或美国)的行为,当美国国歌响起的时候,他或她就应该立正站好。如果做不到,他或她就该被炒鱿鱼了,另谋高就吧。”美国橄榄球联盟专员古德尔声明,认为总统言论缺乏对球队和球员的尊重。随后,特朗普再度发声,谴责古德尔企图为那些表现出不敬行为的球员“正名”。与古德尔的骂战不超过24小时,特朗普又将战火转移到NBA球星身上。他宣布收回邀请NBA球星库里到白宫做客的计划,这一言论引发多位球星批评。[点击详细]

“美国优先”?特朗普联大“首秀”无人喝彩

纽约民众发起反川普示威

“美国优先”理念遭批?
在第72届联合国大会一般性辩论的发言中,特朗普猛烈抨击朝鲜与伊朗,也谈到委内瑞拉局势、叙利亚危机、难民问题等,还重点阐述了其一直宣扬的“美国优先”理念。他表示,美国不会再让其他国家“占便宜”,没有回报的交易美国不会接受。就在特朗普发言后,法国总统马克龙上台表达了与他截然相反的观点。马克龙说,多边主义是应对全球性挑战的最佳方式,只有选择这条路,世界才能获得安全。对于特朗普的发言,瑞典外交大臣玛戈特·瓦尔斯特伦说得更直白:“上次在联合国大会听到这样的讲话还是在几十年前……这是一个在错误时间对错误听众发表的讲话。”[点击详细]


断然退出《巴黎协定》
实际上,“美国优先”已不仅仅停留在特朗普的言辞中。入主白宫不到半年,特朗普就在今年6月1日断然退出被视为全球应对气候变化“转折点”的《巴黎协定》,理由是该协定不符合美国利益。而此次联合国“首秀”,特朗普继续坚持自己的立场,不仅决定不出席联合国气候变化问题高级别会议,也拒绝派美国联邦政府代表参加会议。美国前副总统戈尔日前在一个论坛活动中谈到《巴黎协定》时半开玩笑地说:“大家要注意,政治家的决定是可再生资源。”言下之意,他也希望美国政府能在气候变化政策上重回正轨。[点击详细]

一波未平一波又起!特朗普还有哪些“坎儿”?

特朗普前顾问现身“通俄门”听证会

新医保法案前途未卜
据美媒报道,美国共和党亚利桑那州联邦参议员麦凯恩近日宣布他不会支持共和党人正极力推动的废除奥巴马医保法案。而在此之前几个小时,特朗普才发推特威胁称投票反对医保法案的共和党人将永远被认为是“保护奥巴马医保的共和党人”。不过,最新的民调显示比起共和党的医保法案,超半数美国人更加支持奥巴马医保。据悉,共和党的医保法案至少需要50张同意票才能在参议院通过。要确保法案通过,反对该法案的共和党参议员不能超过2人。此前保罗和柯林斯已经明确反对此案。随着麦凯恩反对,共和党人的医保法案很难获得足够票数通过。[点击详细]


“通俄门”调查深化
目前,“通俄门”调查已经切换到高速挡位,进入一个对调查越发严肃对待的新阶段。未来一段时间,参众两院的情报委员会将对特朗普竞选团队的高级顾问们进行闭门约谈,约谈对象包括马纳福特和小特朗普等。与此同时,两大情报委员会还考虑在今秋举行公开听证会。这意味着相关“嫌疑人”恐怕不能再“躲着不见人”,而小特朗普和马纳福特迄今都未出席过公开听证会。美联社称,今年秋天计划中的这些约谈、传唤和证词,凸显“通俄”调查的范围将进一步扩大。可以肯定的是,这将在未来数月乃至数年里为特朗普的执政投下阴影。[点击详细]

执政环境不断恶化!特朗普执政之路越发难走?

“不确定”的美国

特朗普正失去共和党支持?
当前,特朗普与国会共和党人及内部派别之间的裂痕不断扩大。共和党内部派系派别林立,管理混乱,严重损害了特朗普的领导形象与领导效率。更主要的是,特朗普执政困难重重,在国会推进议程举步维艰,与共和党内部的严重掣肘分不开。特朗普执政环境的恶化,削弱了他推行政策议程的能力,这种施政困境又将最终影响共和党对他的支持。如果共和党最终判定特朗普可能成为拖累2018年国会中期选举的“选票毒药”,他们或将选择与总统划清界限。[点击详细]


和就职时相比,特朗普锐气受挫明显
“通俄门”由模糊远焦切换成特写镜头;重大立法统统铩羽而归;执政能力饱受质疑;美国的大国关系、地区和全球战略进入震荡期、观望期、调适期。政府内部泄密成为华盛顿日常景观;白宫西翼的内斗和混乱屡见报端;“推特治国”常令相关部门无所适从;诸多关键政府职位迄今空缺。在与美国主流媒体的舆论大战中,特朗普没能占到上风。总体上,原本看衰特朗普的美国民众更加看衰;而原本抱有期待者中,尤其是共和党国会议员中,感到沮丧和怀疑的人数则在增加。[点击详细]

(CNN)
Secretary of State Rex Tillerson on Wednesday tried to knock down a report that he had called President Donald Trump a "moron" and considered leaving his post over disagreements with the commander in chief over the summer. But, in the process he may have made things worse for himself.

"I want to dispel with this notion that I have ever considered leaving," Tillerson said in an appearance at the State Department added to his calendar following the bombshell report via NBC News that the secretary of state had called Trump a derogatory name over the summer, had considered resigning and was counseled to remain in the job by Vice President Mike Pence.

While Tillerson's denial that he ever spoke with Pence about leaving his post is important, it's what Tillerson didn't deny that may be even more telling.

Asked whether he had indeed referred to Trump as a "moron," Tillerson said: "I'm not going to deal with petty stuff like that."

Here's the thing: If Tillerson refused to directly deny calling Trump a "moron," you can be almost certain he did in fact call the president exactly that. Think about it: If there is a report that you said your boss was "a big dummy" and you hadn't actually said that, wouldn't you take any chance you could to correct the record? Your job might depend on it!

Tillerson's non-denial comes even as the CNN White House team is reporting that "discord between President Donald Trump and Secretary of State Rex Tillerson is at an all-time high." And, you can be sure that Tillerson's refusal to publicly acknowledge that he didn't call Trump a moron will only make things worse.

Speculation about Tillerson's position began to simmer over the summer when Tillerson took a vacation amid chatter that he and Trump were clashing. This July reporting from CNN's John King shed light on how bad things had become:

"For weeks, conversations with Tillerson friends outside of Washington have left the impression that he, despite his frustrations, was determined to stay on the job at least through the end of the year. That would allow time to continue efforts to reorganize the State Department and would mean he could claim to have put in a year as America's top diplomat.
But two sources who spoke to CNN on condition of anonymity over the weekend said they would not be surprised if there was a "Rexit" from Foggy Bottom sooner that that."

At the time, State Department spokeswoman Heather Nauert denied any rumor of a potential Rexit, saying: "[Tillerson has] been very clear he intends to stay here at the State Department. We have a lot of work that is left to be done ahead of us. He recognizes that. He's deeply engaged in that work."

Speculation about Tillerson's future died down in the wake of his return to Washington. But, over the weekend, talk of tension reemerged when Trump seemed to undercut his Secretary of State on North Korea.

"I told Rex Tillerson, our wonderful Secretary of State, that he is wasting his time trying to negotiate with Little Rocket Man," Trump tweeted Sunday morning.

Remember that Tillerson was at one point seen as the crown jewel of Trump's Cabinet. The former head of Exxon was exactly the sort of person that Trump had promised his administration could and would recruit into public service.
"He's a world-class player," Trump said of Tillerson before formally nominating him as a Secretary of State. "He's in charge of an oil company that's pretty much double the size of its next nearest competitor."

Tillerson sworn in as secretary of state

"You bring the unique skills and deep deep insights...into foreign diplomacy our nation needs to foster stability and security," Trump said when Tillerson was formally sworn in as the nation's top diplomat.

Tensions appeared quickly between the two, however, as Tillerson's careful diplomatic approach clashed with Trump's free-wheeling Twitter diplomacy.

Tillerson: President Trump speaks for himself

The Charlottesville, Virginia, protests -- and Trump's both-sides-do-it response to the white supremacist violence -- complicated the relationship further. Tillerson seemed to rebuke Trump when he responded to Fox News' Chris Wallace that "the President speaks for himself" regarding the President's comments. Sources inside the White House tried to play down Tillerson's comments -- insisting that what the secretary of state meant was only that Trump is his best spokesman.

In the wake of Tillerson's seeming admission that he called his boss a nasty name, the question turns from whether the secretary of state will quit to whether Trump will part ways with him.

That seems somewhat unlikely given the already-heavy turnover in the top ranks of Trump's administration. Last Friday, Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price was forced to resign. And, Trump's chief of staff, chief strategist, national security adviser, spokesman and not one but two communications directors have departed the administration in just its first nine months.
"There's much to be done and we're just getting started," Tillerson said on Wednesday.

It's not clear at the moment whether that's a promise or a hope.
