由Jennifer A. Dlouhy撰写总统唐纳德·特朗普在一次竞选集会上呼吁处决向媒体泄露信息的个人，因为他对伊朗战争的报道持批评态度。
By Jennifer A. Dlouhy President Donald Trump called for executing individuals who leak information to the media during a campaign rally as he railed against what he saw as critical coverage of the Iran war.
“在我看来，泄密者应该被枪毙。他们应该被枪毙。过去，我们过去常常枪毙泄密者，”特朗普在亚利桑那州Bullhead City的竞选活动中说。“泄密者应该受到非常、非常严厉的对待。他们是真实存在的。在我看来，他们是人类社会的渣滓。”特朗普周三援引他所说的涉及来自密苏里州的美国军事资源对伊朗的打击，称关键细节的泄露迫使他重新安排了这次行动。
“In my opinion, leakers should be shot. They should be shot. In the old days, we used to shoot leakers,” Trump said at the campaign event in Bullhead City, Arizona. “Leakers should be dealt with very, very strongly. They’re real. To me, they’re the scum of the earth.”Trump on Wednesday cited what he cast as a strike against Iran that involved US military assets from Missouri, saying a leak of key details forced him to reschedule that operation.
特朗普及其盟友长期以来一直对他们认为不利于伊朗战争的报道进行抨击，这场战争总统曾表示将持续数周——并且经常声称将很快结束——但如今已进入第八个月，且没有结束的迹象。
Trump and his allies have long railed against what they see as unfavorable coverage of the war on Iran, a conflict the president once said would take weeks — and often claims will end soon — but is now in its eighth month with no signs of concluding.
特朗普的集会常常是自由散漫的事务，演讲时长常常超过一小时，经常突出文化议题以动员其支持基础。虽然特朗普总是强调经济并为其记录辩护，包括关税问题，但他经常将无关紧要的话题编织进演讲中，这些话题远离选民关心的“钱包问题”。
Trump’s rallies are often freewheeling affairs, with speeches stretching well over an hour long that often highlight cultural wedge issues to mobilize his base. While Trump always makes a point to talk up the economy and defend his record including on tariffs, he regularly weaves to incorporate off-topic matters far from the pocketbook issues concerning voters.
然而，总统对泄密者的关注——以及其他议题，如要求他的政治对手接受认知测试——威胁要分散他整体竞选信息的注意力，而这一信息在即将到来的中期选举中普遍被认为将围绕可负担性和经济展开。
Yet the president’s focus on leakers — as well as other issues like demanding his political adversaries take cognitive tests — threatens to distract from his overall closing message ahead of midterm elections widely expected to center around affordability and the economy.
特朗普在亚利桑那州的竞选站点是其为期一个月的竞选冲刺的一部分，旨在提升共和党候选人在11月3日中期选举前的胜算。此次集会标志着他本周的第三场活动，之前曾在俄亥俄州和阿拉斯加停留，随后将于周三晚些时候在蒙大拿州举行活动，周五在乔治亚州举行活动。更多活动将于下周安排，计划一直持续到选举日前的拉票活动。
Trump’s campaign stop in Arizona was part of a month-long campaign blitz to boost Republican candidates ahead of the Nov. 3 midterm vote. The rally marked his third this week, following stops in Ohio and Alaska, with events slated later Wednesday in Montana and Friday in Georgia. More are scheduled next week, with plans to continue barnstorming right up to Election Day.
总统低迷的支持率在全国范围内拖累了共和党，选民抱怨他对经济的处理以及食品和燃料成本的攀升，而后者部分源于对伊朗的战争。
The president’s low approval ratings have hampered Republicans across the map as voters lament his handling of the economy and climbing costs for food and fuel, driven in part by the war on Iran.
美国劳工统计局周三早些时候发布的报告显示，受燃料成本激增推动，美国9月消费者物价涨幅为4月以来最大。报告表明物价上涨正在侵蚀薪资，并强化了市场对美联储在未来几个月进一步加息的预期。特朗普则呼吁美联储降息。
US consumer prices rose in September by the most since April, driven by a surge in fuel costs. A Bureau of Labor Statistics report earlier Wednesday suggested price increases are eroding paychecks and reinforced expectations for more Federal Reserve interest-rate hikes in the months ahead. Trump has called on the Fed to cut rates instead.
早些时候消息：美国消费者物价涨幅为4月以来最大，涨势全面 这位总统不为自己的民调担忧所动，反复敦促支持者假装他也在选票上，并警告民主党获胜可能会损害他的政策议程。
Earlier: US Consumer Prices Rise by Most Since April in Broad Advance The president, unbowed by concerns over his own polling, has repeatedly urged supporters to pretend like he’s on the ballot and warned that Democratic wins could impair his policy agenda.
与此同时，特朗普试图缓解选民对经济——这一选举核心议题——的担忧。
Meanwhile, Trump has sought to assuage voter concerns about the economy, the election’s dominant issue.
他坚称，随着对伊朗战争的结束，加油站的高价将会下跌，尽管缺乏明确的退出路径，并吹捧新的投资项目。但这种经济信息传递难以打动更关注日常生计开支和工资增长的选民。
He’s insisted that high prices at the pump will fall after the war with Iran concludes, despite the lack of a clear off ramp, and touted fresh investment projects. That economic messaging has struggled to break through with voters more attuned to day-to-day pocketbook concerns and wage growth.
特朗普繁忙的竞选行程，停留地点主要在国内极度保守的地区，凸显了共和党即便在传统据点或总统在2024年大选中赢得的州份，也在打防守战。
Trump’s busy campaign itinerary, with stops primarily in very conservative areas of the country, underscores how Republicans are playing defense even in states that are traditional strongholds or that the president carried in the 2024 election.
特朗普长期与新闻界交恶，抨击批评性报道为“假新闻”，但在第二任期内，他升级了针对媒体的行动，包括以报道不利为由，禁止MS Now、《政治报》和CNN的记者进入白宫。
Trump has long clashed with the press, assailing critical reports as “fake news,” but has escalated his efforts to target the media in his second term, including barring reporters from MS Now, Politico and CNN from the White House due to what he described as unfavorable coverage.
这些媒体起诉了特朗普，指控他侵犯了它们的第一修正案权利，并获得了临时救济。一名联邦法官周二晚间裁定，这三家媒体可在针对政府的诉讼审理期间继续进入白宫场地。
Those outlets sued Trump, alleging that he violated their First Amendment rights and winning temporary relief. A federal judge late Tuesday said those three outlets could continue to have access to the White House grounds while the lawsuit against the administration proceeds.
政府官员已采取行动，调查涉及美国军事行动的泄密事件。特朗普4月曾威胁要监禁刊登美军营救两名坠机美国飞行员突袭行动细节的记者，指责新闻界危及了营救任务。
Administration officials have undertaken efforts to investigate leaks involving US military actions. Trump in April threatened to jail journalists who published details of a US raid to rescue two downed American airman, accusing the press of endangering the rescue mission.
批评人士此前表示，特朗普试图打击泄密者的做法可能会对举报人和政府问责制产生寒蝉效应。
Critics have previously said Trump’s attempted crackdown on leakers could have a chilling effect against whistleblowers and government accountability.
