Topics
Brooke Gladstone: 我观察到特朗普的第二个总统任期伊始,就签署了一系列行政命令,涵盖了移民、能源、环境等多个领域。这些命令有的具有象征意义,有的已经对人们的生活造成了切实的影响。同时,我注意到,与特朗普第一任期相比,媒体对他的报道方式发生了变化,一些媒体对他的报道有所淡化,这可能与媒体公司试图避免与政府冲突有关。此外,我分析了人们对特朗普政府的恐惧情绪,认为这种情绪可能会影响人们的批判性思维,因此,我们应该保持理性,并质疑政府政策的可行性。 Michael Loewinger: 我关注到特朗普政府的新闻发布和媒体互动方式。他喜欢与媒体进行对抗,并试图通过各种手段来影响媒体的报道。同时,我也注意到,一些媒体公司为了避免与政府冲突,正在采取讨好特朗普政府的行为,这可能会对新闻自由造成威胁。 Oliver Darcy: 我认为,与特朗普第一任期相比,CNN等媒体对特朗普的报道方式发生了显著变化,变得更加温和。这可能是因为媒体公司的新领导层希望避免与政府发生冲突,并试图吸引更广泛的受众。此外,我还注意到,一些媒体公司正在采取措施来讨好特朗普政府,这可能会对新闻自由造成威胁。 Dara Lind: 我认为,特朗普政府大规模驱逐出境的计划在短期内几乎不可能实现,因为这需要巨大的财政支出和行政能力。同时,公众的抗议和反对能够对政府施加影响,但目前公众的抵抗力度不如特朗普第一任期时。 Chris Lehmann: 我认为,特朗普对麦金利总统的怀旧之情,反映了镀金时代资本主义的某些特征。特朗普并非民粹主义者,他与麦金利一样,是寡头政治的帮凶。他利用民粹主义言论来掩盖其为精英阶层服务的本质。此外,特朗普的帝国主义言论与麦金利的帝国主义政策存在相似之处。
