特朗普总统再出狂言:你们敢弹劾我,我就让整个市场崩溃(附视频&摘要稿)
8月21日周二,特朗普前律师Michael Cohen已就违反竞选财务法、银行诈欺和逃税等八项指控,与联邦检察官达成认罪求情协议。
考虑到Cohen作为特朗普团队多年核心团队成员的身份以及面临3-5年的牢狱之灾近况,市场担心其是否会为了减刑而与检方合作,给予特别检察官穆勒的“通俄门”调查更为丰富且能作为法庭证据的资料,进而令特朗普遭到弹劾。
于是在福克斯新闻台8月23日播出的采访中,特朗普口出狂言:若他遭到弹劾,市场将会崩溃,因为这将危及他继续为美国创造就业的计划。
每个美国人都会变得非常穷。没有了我,你们所看到的经济数据将会差得难以置信。
我摆脱了监管,减税也是一件了不起的事。我就不明白了,你们怎么能弹劾把工作做得这么好的人呢?
特朗普认为,自己就任以来的美国经济表现应该“为他代言”。他还称,如果当初是希拉里赢得大选,经济增长不仅无法达到现在4%的水平,反而还会看到负增长。
不过,针对特朗普的弹劾需要由众议院启动。考虑到众议院目前由共和党一手把握,CNBC分析称在中期选举前这种事情的可能性微乎其微。

President Trump, in an exclusive interview with Fox News' Ainsley Earhardt, warned that the “market would crash” if he's ever impeached -- while questioning why Democrats would even consider that course in the future.
“I don’t know how you can impeach somebody who’s done a great job,” Trump said, in the interview which aired Thursday on "Fox & Friends."
The president weighed in on calls from the left to pursue impeachment if Democrats seize the House in the midterms. That speculation kicked up following the plea deal struck by his former attorney Michael Cohen claiming the president was involved in hush-money payments and admitting campaign finance violations related to them.
The president argued that he's done a great job in office, despite the critical coverage in connection with the Cohen case and other controversies.
Further, he warned, “If I ever got impeached, I think the market would crash, I think everybody would be very poor, because without this thinking, you would see — you would see numbers that you wouldn’t believe in reverse.”
The president touted his economic accomplishments, claiming that the economy was going to be “down” if he hadn’t been elected.
“I freed up, I got rid of regulations, the tax cut was a tremendous thing,” Trump said.
He added: “Had Hillary and the Democrats gotten in, had she been president, you would have had negative growth. We picked up $10 trillion worth.”
Impeachment talk is still confined to certain corners of the Democratic Party. Top House Democrats have largely pushed back on calls to pursue that option, though some have kept the door open.
Many Democrats have said the Cohen plea creates legal risks for Trump. "The factual basis of the plea, potentially implicating the president in illegal campaign finance violations, adds to the president’s legal jeopardy," Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., top House Intelligence Committee Democrat, said in a statement.
The president also hit on immigration in the interview — saying “we’re doing a record-breaking job, but we have bad laws.”
“You know when you have bad laws you can do good. But you can do a lot better if you had good laws. So they’ll all get changed, but we have to elect more Republicans,” Trump said.
The president was asked about the murder of 20-year-old Mollie Tibbetts, whom he called “a beautiful young girl.”
“She was killed by a horrible person that came in from Mexico, illegally here. Found by ICE, our great ICE who’s abused by the Democrats and the left. And without them, you might not be sitting here so comfortably right now. I just think it’s so sad,” Trump said.
Cristhian Bahena Rivera, 24, in the U.S. illegally from Mexico, was charged with first-degree murder on Tuesday in Tibbetts’ death. He is currently being held on a federal immigration detainer.
“We’re building the wall. It’s already started. We’ve spent $3.2 billion on it. We’re asking for $5 billion for this year’s funding. The wall is going up. A lot of people don’t know it,” Trump said.
He added that he would “like to build it even faster,” but said working with the Democrats is “very tough.”
“We’re doing an incredible job,” Trump said.
The president said he would give himself and his presidency, thus far, an “A plus.”
“I don’t think any president has ever done what I’ve done in this short, we haven’t even been two years, biggest tax cuts in history, soon-to-be two unbelievable Supreme Court justices—I’m sure that Justice Kavanaugh will be approved, Justice Gorsuch has been a star,” Trump said. “You look at all of the things we’ve done with regulations, the economy is the best it’s ever been in history.”
Trump announced Brett Kavanaugh as his choice to replace retired Associate Justice Anthony Kennedy on the bench. His confirmation hearing is expected in the Senate in early September, though some Democrats are pushing for delays after the Cohen plea.
The one area where Trump said he was not succeeding was with the media.
“The only thing I’m doing badly on is the press doesn’t cover me fairly,” Trump said. “I thought after I won, you know, they killed me during the campaign. Just killed me. I said well, one good thing about winning, I’ve showed them, so now I’m going to get fair press.”
He added: “Guess what, it got worse. It’s worse.”
The president has routinely mocked and attacked media outlets — like CNN, NBC, The New York Times, and The Washington Post -- over critical stories that he often disputes. Last week, more than 300 publications across the country participated in coordinated editorial columns promoting freedom of the press and criticizing Trump.
Trump went on to criticize the media coverage of his summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Helsinki, Finland, last month.
“My meeting with Putin was a tremendous success, I got killed by the fake news,” Trump said. “They wanted me to go up and punch him in the face. I said I want to get along with Russia. I want to get along with everybody.”
He added: “They said I was too rough on North Korea, remember that, too rough. But with Putin, they said I was too soft.”
The president angered members of both parties at the Putin summit by saying both countries share blame for damaged relations and by not firmly standing by U.S. intelligence assessments that Russia meddled in the 2016 elections.
Trump praised his wife, Melania Trump, for her grace through negative media coverage of the first family and his administration.
“She is doing great. She's a terrific woman. She goes through a lot with all this publicity. But she's a terrific woman, she's doing great,” Trump said, adding that unfavorable coverage and publicity is “part of my life.”
He added: “I’ve always won. I’ve always won. It was controversial when I ran, and I won, and now the country’s doing better than it’s ever done.”
特朗普总统在接受福克斯新闻公司Ainsley Earhardt的独家采访时警告说,如果他被弹劾,“市场就会崩溃” - 同时质疑为什么民主党人将来会考虑这条路线。
“我不知道你怎么能弹劾那些做得很好的人,”特朗普在周四播出的关于“狐狸和朋友”的采访中说道。
如果民主党在中期占领众议院,那么总统就会对左翼的呼吁进行权衡,以追求弹劾。在他的前律师迈克尔科恩(Michael Cohen)声称总统参与了嘘声支付并承认与他们有关的竞选财务违规行为之后,这一猜测开始了。
尽管与科恩案和其他争议有关的重要报道,总统认为他在办公室做得很好。
此外,他警告说,“如果我被弹劾,我认为市场会崩溃,我认为每个人都会非常贫穷,因为没有这种想法,你会看到 - 你会看到你不相信的数字。”
总统吹捧他的经济成就,声称如果他没有当选,经济将会“下降”。
“我放松了,我摆脱了规定,减税是一件巨大的事情,”特朗普说。
他补充说:“如果希拉里和民主党人进入,如果她当过总统,你就会有负增长。我们获得了10万亿美元的价值。“
弹劾谈判仍局限于民主党的某些角落。众议院民主党人已经在很大程度上推迟了追求这一选择的呼吁,尽管有些人已经开门。
许多民主党人表示,科恩的请求会给特朗普带来法律风险。 “这一请求的事实基础,可能暗示总统违反竞选财务违法行为,增加了总统的法律危险性,”众议院情报委员会民主党众议员亚当席夫在一份声明中说。
总统在采访中也对移民问题表示不满 - 说“我们正在做一项创纪录的工作,但我们的法律很糟糕。”
“你知道,当你有不好的法律时,你可以做得很好。但如果你有良好的法律,你可以做得更好。所以他们都会改变,但我们必须选出更多的共和党人,“特朗普说。
总统被问及谋杀20岁的Mollie Tibbetts,他称之为“一个漂亮的年轻女孩”。
“她被来自墨西哥的一个可怕的人杀死,非法来到这里。由ICE发现,我们伟大的ICE被民主党和左派滥用。没有它们,你现在可能不会如此舒适地坐在这里。我只是觉得这太可悲了,“特朗普说。
24岁的Cristhian Bahena Rivera在美国非法离开墨西哥,周二在Tibbetts的死亡中被指控犯有一级谋杀罪。他目前被关押在一名联邦移民拘留所。
“我们正在修建隔离墙。它已经开始了。我们花了32亿美元。我们要求今年的资金为50亿美元。墙正在上升。很多人都不知道,“特朗普说。
他补充说,他“想更快地建造它”,但表示与民主党合作“非常艰难”。
“我们的工作令人难以置信,”特朗普说。
总统说,到目前为止,他将给予自己和他的总统职位“A +”。
“我认为任何一位总统都没有做过我在这个短片中所做的事情,我们甚至还没有两年,历史上最大的减税,很快将成为两位令人难以置信的最高法院大法官 - 我确定特朗普说,卡瓦诺大法官将获得批准,戈萨奇法官一直是明星。 “你看看我们在法规方面所做的所有事情,经济是历史上最好的经济。”
特朗普宣布布雷特卡瓦诺在替补席上替换退役助理安东尼肯尼迪。他的确认听证会预计将在9月初在参议院举行,尽管一些民主党人在科恩请求后推迟了延迟。
特朗普说他没有成功的一个领域是媒体。
特朗普说:“我唯一能做的就是报刊并不公平。” “在我赢了之后,我想,你知道,他们在竞选期间杀了我。刚杀了我我说得很好,关于获胜的一件好事,我已经展示了它们,所以现在我要得到公平的报道。“
他补充说:“猜猜是什么,情况变得更糟。情况更糟。“
总统经常嘲笑和抨击媒体机构 - 如美国有线电视新闻网,美国全国广播公司,纽约时报和华盛顿邮报 - 对他经常提出异议的批评性故事。上周,全国有300多种出版物参与了促进新闻自由和批评特朗普的协调编辑专栏。
特朗普上个月批评媒体报道他与芬兰赫尔辛基的俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔普京的峰会。
特朗普说:“我与普京的会晤取得了巨大的成功,我被这个假新闻杀死了。” “他们想让我上去打他的脸。我说我想和俄罗斯相处。我想和每个人相处。“
他补充说:“他们说我对朝鲜太粗暴,记得那太粗糙了。 但是对于普京,他们说我太软了。“
总统在普京峰会上激怒了双方成员,称两国都因为关系破裂而受到指责,而且没有坚定地支持美国情报评估,即俄罗斯在2016年的选举中干预。
特朗普通过对第一个家庭及其政府的负面媒体报道称赞了他的妻子梅拉尼娅特朗普的恩典。
“她做得很好。 她是一个了不起的女人。 所有这些宣传经历了很多。 但她是一个了不起的女人,她做得很好,“特朗普说,并补充说,不利的报道和宣传是”我生活的一部分。“
他补充说:“我一直都赢了。 我一直都赢了。 我跑的时候有争议,我赢了,现在这个国家的表现比以往任何时候都好。“
