MS NOW的乔·斯卡伯勒和米卡·布热津斯基在特朗普总统告诉记者美国人因其政府政策而“财富翻倍”后，给特朗普上了一堂关于美国经济现状的现实课。“经济很烂，”布热津斯基直言不讳地说。
MS NOW’s Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski gave Donald Trump a reality check on the state of the U.S. economy after the president told reporters Americans were “twice as wealthy” as a result of his administration’s policies. “The economy sucks,” Brzezinski said bluntly. On Tuesday’s“Morning Joe,”
在周二的《早安乔》节目中，斯卡伯勒猛烈抨击总统，认为其政府并未关注普通美国人的经济福祉，而是推行有利于国家最富裕阶层的政策。
Scarborough tore into the president and argued his administration hasn’t focused on the economic well-being of everyday Americans, instead choosing to push policies that benefit the country’s wealthiest“The economy is OK for people like Trump,” he said.
“经济对特朗普这样的人来说还可以，”他说。“对特朗普的孩子们这种亿万富翁来说，经济比‘还可以’好多了。”斯卡伯勒表示，如果特朗普听取美国民众的意见，就会清楚地看到他们感觉被政府抛在了身后。
“The economy is better than OK for people like Trump’s children, who are gazillionaires now.”Scarborough said that if Trump listened to Americans, he would clearly see how they feel as if they’re being left behind by his administration.
“民调怎么说？美国劳动者、中产阶级、甚至中上阶层，他们怎么评价这经济？”他问道。
“What are the polls saying? Americans, working Americans, middle-class Americans, even upper-middle-class Americans, what are they saying this economy is like?” he asked.
根据NBC新闻最近的一项民调，多数选民（55%）认为特朗普的政策损害了经济。
According to a recent poll from NBC News a majority of voters, 55%, said they believed Trump’s policies have hurt the economy.
“关税会导致通胀，”斯卡伯勒解释道。“战争会导致通胀。所有正在进行的贸易战都会导致通胀。”这位MS NOW主持人表示，如果总统的经济议程导致本月早些时候上调的利率进一步上升，他不会感到惊讶。
“Tariffs are inflationary,” Scarborough explained. “Wars are inflationary. All the trade wars that are going on are inflationary.”The MS NOW host said he would not be surprised if the president’s economic agenda caused interest rates which were raised earlier this month, to rise even further.
“这意味着美国劳动者和中产阶级的信用卡还款会更高，”斯卡伯勒说。“这意味着房贷会更高。车贷会更高。助学贷款会更高。这意味着他们的生活成本会更高。”
“That’s going to mean credit card payments are going to be higher for working Americans and middle-class Americans,” Scarborough said. “That means mortgages are going to be higher. That means car loans are going to be higher. That means student loans are going to be higher. That means their lives are going to be more expensive.”The post Joe Scarborough rips Trump’s claim Americans are ‘twice as wealthy’MS NOW
