这一次,特朗普的推文又把美国网友惹怒了……

CGTN CGTN 2020-08-24
6月28日,美国总统特朗普在推特上配文转发了一则视频,该视频拍摄于佛罗里达州的一个退休养老社区。视频中特朗普的支持者与反对者拉着横幅,愤怒地争吵、对骂。他配文写道:感谢你们,群村(一养老社区)伟大的人们!无所事事的激进左派民主党人将在秋天落败。腐败的拜登会被‘射中’。希望尽快见到你们

推文发出后,网友们沸腾了。因为有人发现在视频中,一名特朗普的支持者,开着高尔夫车,高喊:“白人力量”(white power)。

U.S. President Donald Trump on Sunday retweeted a video showing one of his supporters chanting "white power," a racist slogan associated with white supremacists. He deleted the tweet three hours later, and the White House insisted the president had not heard "the one statement" on the video.

The video appeared to have been taken at The Villages, a Florida retirement community, and showed dueling demonstrations between Trump supporters and opponents.

The president retweeted the video with the comment, "Thank you to the great people of The Villages." Five seconds into the clip he shared, a man driving a golf cart displaying pro-Trump signs and flags shouts "white power." The video also shows counter-protesters shouting "Nazi," "racist," and profanities at the Trump supporters.

特朗普的这条推文引发了网友对其宣扬种族主义、加剧分裂的不满:

 “你注意到了视频中有一个白人大喊‘白人力量’吧?”
 
“我的天啊,是什么样的总统会为我们社会中这样的暴力和分裂欢呼?”


三小时后特朗普删除了这条转发推文。白宫副新闻秘书贾德·迪尔(Judd Deere)随后解释称,特朗普总统只注意到了支持者们巨大的热情,根本没有听到视频中的那句话。

White House Deputy Press Secretary Judd Deere said in a statement that, "President Trump is a big fan of The Villages. He did not hear the one statement made on the video. What he did see was tremendous enthusiasm from his many supporters."

特朗普这条推特也引起了共和党大会上唯一的非裔参议员蒂姆·斯科特(Tim Scott)的不满,他表示,特朗普转发的视频具有攻击性,且“站不住脚”。

Before the tweet was deleted, Senator Tim Scott, the chamber's only Black Republican, condemned Trump’s tweet. There is no question that President Trump "should not have retweeted the video" and "he should just take it down," he told CNN's "State of Union" on Sunday. 

"I think it's indefensible," he added.

尽管特朗普及其发言人对此事表示“无辜”,《纽约时报》还是直言不讳地谴责了特朗普的行为,认为他的这种行为是利用社交媒体平台煽动种族主义,加剧美国社会分裂。

其实前两天,特朗普已经因为推文翻过一次车了。6月27日,他发推称,为了“确保华盛顿特区的法律和秩序得以贯彻”,他已取消周末去新泽西州打高尔夫球的计划,并将在华盛顿度过周末

然而据报道,特朗普转身就去了自己位于弗吉尼亚州的私人高尔夫俱乐部。而当天,美国确诊病例已超过250万。 

本就觉得特朗普未能正确领导美国遏制疫情的网友们纷纷发文批评:

“今天超过7000名美国人被确诊为新冠,而特朗普却在高尔夫球场。”
 

 “特朗普也许是在他的高尔夫球场上寻找治疗新冠病毒的方法呢。”


 “特朗普或许应该像看高尔夫球成绩一样,好好看看新冠病例的数据。”
