Jon Stewart: 我认为特朗普政府正在挑战美国的宪政基础。特朗普试图通过宣布“美洲湾日”等举动来扩大行政权力,并废除前任政府的政策。更令人担忧的是,他对司法部门的权力制衡表示质疑,这直接威胁到宪法的根基。我认为民主党需要更强硬地反对特朗普政府的违宪行为,并重新确立国会的权威。我们不能指望共和党人会为了国家利益而牺牲自己的政治生涯,民主党必须拿出实际行动。 John Oliver: 我觉得美国已经进入了君主制时代。美国在民主制度上玩得很开心,但最终还是回到了君主制的怀抱。国王们办事效率很高,虽然不一定是你想做的事,但他们行动迅速。美国在过去 50 年里所做的事情,看起来就像一个帝国。入侵、经济剥削,甚至建议将加沙变成海滨赌场。即使是乔治国王也会觉得这太过分了。 David Remnick: 我认为特朗普政府正在迅速完成大量事情,并压倒所有人。他们似乎决心迅速完成大量事情,并压倒所有人。他们的行动背后有一种精明的策略,而这种策略部分取决于民主党的软弱和混乱。我们的工作是公正、如实地报道,而不是尖叫和指责。我理解人们为了保护自己而停止关注新闻的本能,但这会成为问题的一部分。民主党需要团结起来,采取行动,否则将会失去很多。
