佛罗里达州迈阿密海滩——众议员拜伦·唐纳兹（Byron Donalds）遇到了一个麻烦。
MIAMI BEACH, Fla.—Rep. Byron Donalds had a problem.
特朗普总统得知，他所支持的这位佛罗里达州下一任州长候选人的竞选团队，已经从唐纳兹的网站上删除了关于他的重要提及。据知情人士透露，为了安抚特朗普，助手们向他展示了一条推文，唐纳兹在推文中淡化了这一变动，并展示了他与总统在椭圆形办公室里笑容满面的合影。这让特朗普感到满意，他随后警告称，如果唐纳兹抛弃他，就有可能输掉选举。
President Trump had learned that the campaign of the man he’d endorsed to become Florida’s next governor had scrubbed prominent mentions of him from Donalds’s website. To calm Trump down, aides showed him a tweet where Donalds minimized the change and appeared beaming alongside the president inside the Oval Office, according to people familiar with the events. That satisfied Trump, who went on to warn that Donalds risked losing if he dropped him.
