Topics
Patrick Healy: 我关注的是特朗普总统在执政的头一百天里是如何运用权力的,以及他如何努力改变美国。 Tom Friedman: 我关注的是特朗普的行为是如何在全球范围内产生反响的。特朗普政府缺乏缓冲机制,导致其言论直接转化为政策。他的经济计划建立在谎言之上,最终会以失败告终。他的言论为中俄提供了廉价的宣传工具,损害了美国的国际形象。中俄的目标都是削弱美国的影响力。中国在现有世界秩序下获益良多,试图改变这一秩序是错误的。特朗普不相信“涨潮能托起所有船只”的理念,而是奉行“适者生存”的原则。特朗普和内塔尼亚胡的做法相似,都将忠诚置于理性之上。特朗普的肆无忌惮行为为其他领导人提供了可乘之机。特朗普的肆无忌惮行为以及共和党对他的盲目支持,是前所未有的。特朗普的决策缺乏长远考虑,只顾及短期利益,忽视了潜在的严重后果。 Tom Friedman: 我认为,民主党应该提出一种基于生态系统思维的、具有全球视野的对外政策。特朗普的领导风格以自我为中心,缺乏团结国家的意愿。美国人民渴望团结,这是特朗普忽视的重要因素。
