Every time Donald Trump says something nice about an autocrat, Washington loses its cool. Whether he is complimenting Kim Jong Un, North Korea’s dictator; Rodrigo Duterte, the Philippines’ strongman; Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Turkey’s semi-autocrat, or Russia’s Vladimir Putin, Mr Trump has found a perfect way to provoke US globalists. It works every time. Say something pleasant about a thug and watch everyone foam at the mouth. From Republican neoconservatives to liberal humanitarians, the uproar is bipartisan. Expect Mr Trump to keep doing it as long as he lives.
每次唐納德?特朗普(Donald Trump)贊美一位獨裁者，華盛頓就會失去冷靜。無論他稱贊的是朝鮮獨裁者金正恩(Kim Jong Un)，菲律賓強人羅德里戈?杜特爾特(Rodrigo Duterte)，土耳其的半獨裁者雷杰普?塔伊普?埃爾多安(Recep Tayyip Erdogan)，還是俄羅斯的弗拉基米爾?普京(Vladimir Putin)，特朗普找到了激怒美國那些全球主義者的絕佳方式。這種做法次次奏效。夸一夸某個惡棍，然后坐看所有人氣得口沫橫飛。從共和黨的新保守主義者到自由派的人道主義者，喧鬧不分黨派。預(yù)計特朗普只要活著就會一直這么做。
