集会一直是特朗普个人品牌的重要组成部分,但就连他所在政党内的一些人士也担心选民们已经对他感到厌倦。据特朗普后来回忆,周四因恶劣天气导致空军一号无法起飞后,他命令车队成员:“赶紧上车。”随后车队以近100英里的时速行驶了85英里前往俄克拉荷马州,这一举动充分证明了没有什么能阻止特朗普参加自己的集会。

Rallies have been mainstay of president’s brand but even some in his own party fear voters are sick of the sight of him“Get your asses in that car.”That was Donald Trump’s order, he later recalled, to his motorcade after foul weather grounded Air Force One in Texas on Thursday. The 85-mile dash to Oklahoma at nearly 100mph was proof that nothing can keep Trump from a Trump rally.

不过,这对共和党而言或许不再是好消息。当前,这位美国总统正展开为期32天的密集竞选活动,旨在帮助共和党保住下个月中期选举中刚刚获得的微弱国会多数席位。然而,不少人担心此举反而会导致共和党遭遇惨败。

Which might not be the good news for Republicans it once was. As the US president embarked on a 32-day campaign blitz aimed at helping them defend narrow congressional majorities in next month’s midterms, some fear that he is driving them towards an electoral wipeout.
