周四，由于南方地区出现暴风雨天气，特朗普总统决定放弃乘飞机出行，而是亲自驾车从得克萨斯州的集会地点前往俄克拉荷马州。
President Trump’s motorcade put the pedal to the metal Thursday as stormy weather in the South spurred the president to drive from rallies in Texas to Oklahoma rather than fly.
他的车队从得克萨斯州丹顿市的彼得比尔特汽车制造厂出发，前往俄克拉荷马州杜兰特市的第二场集会。两地相距约90英里。随行记者称，车队中的车辆最高时速达到了98英里/小时。
Trump took the motorcade from his event at the Peterbilt Motors manufacturing plant in Denton, Texas to his second event in Durant, Oklahoma. The locations are roughly 90 miles apart. Press travelling with the president noted that the vans reached speeds of 98 mph.
通常情况下，总统会乘坐“海军陆战队一号”专机从得克萨斯前往俄克拉荷马，但恶劣的天气促使他临时决定改乘汽车。
Typically, the president would’ve taken Marine One from Texas to Oklahoma, but stormy weather spurred the last-minute decision to drive.
在前往俄克拉荷马的途中，特朗普在社交平台上发文称，他乘坐的“野兽”专车正以“有史以来最快的速度”行驶。
他在Truth Social上写道：“亲爱的俄克拉荷马民众，请耐心等待，我马上就到！
During the ride to Oklahoma, Trump posted on social media that the Beast, or the car the president rides in, was going "faster than it has ever gone before."“To the Great People of Oklahoma, stay tuned — I’ll be there soon! There was a major weather delay, and the planes and helicopters were not able to land, so we’re driving up from Texas,” he wrote on Truth Social.
由于天气恶劣，飞机和直升机都无法降落，所以我们只能从得克萨斯开车过来。有人建议我推迟集会，但我坚决拒绝，一定要前往俄克拉荷马！‘野兽’正以前所未有的速度前进，很快就能到达。我爱你们，稍后见！”
“They wanted me to postpone the event, and I said, ‘NO WAY, I’M GOING TO OKLAHOMA!’ ‘The Beast’ is going faster than it has ever gone before. It won’t be long. I love you all! See you in a little while.”Trump showed up about two hours late in Durant, telling the crowd that he refused to cancel it entirely.
大约两小时后，特朗普抵达杜兰特，并向在场民众表示自己绝不会取消这次集会。他告诉众人：“我问他们能安排什么交通工具？‘野兽’能跑多快？得到的答复是：‘时速能接近100英里。’于是我下令：‘立刻上车，我们出发去俄克拉荷马！’
“I said, ‘What can I take?’” he told the crowd. “I said, ‘How fast does the Beast travel?’ They said, ‘We could go close to a 100 miles per hour,’” he continued. “I said, ‘Get your asses in that car. We’re going to Oklahoma.”
”特朗普强调，他执意赶往俄克拉荷马并非因为当地候选人需要支持，而是因为他三次参选总统时都赢得了该州。
Trump said he wanted to make sure he made it to Oklahoma, not because the candidates needed his help, but because he won the state all three times he ran for president.
他说：“我在该州三次都创下了历史最高得票纪录，77个县全部胜出。”
“We got the most votes ever in the state history all three times,” he said. “And we won all 77 out of 77 counties.”
