唐纳德·特朗普给自己打了分。10月1日星期四，这位美国总统给自己在“政府、经济、所有方面”都打了“A+”。通胀？“极好。”尽管最新的美联社民调显示，只有17%的美国人支持他在生活成本问题上的行动，但这位美国总统仍坚持其旧有的政治策略，距离11月3日预定的中期选举还不到一个月。无法改变现实，特朗普试图重塑人们的认知。
Donald Trump has scored his own report card. On Thursday, October 1, the American president gave himself "an A+ on the government, on economics, on everything." Inflation? "Excellent." Even though the latest Associated Press poll showed only 17% of Americans supported his action on the cost of living, the US president has stuck to his old political strategy, less than a month before the scheduled midterm elections on November 3. Unable to change reality, Trump has tried to shape its perception.
他大肆自我吹捧，认为重复能有助于激发保守派选民的热情。近日，特朗普声称共和党面临的一系列令人担忧的民调不过是主流媒体吹捧的肥皂泡，随时会破裂。然而，他自己的支持率徘徊在30%左右，从未如此之低。
He has lavishly praised himself, believing repetition will help energize the conservative electorate. In recent days, Trump has claimed the cascade of alarming polls for Republicans is nothing but a soap bubble, fueled by the mainstream media, just waiting to be popped. Yet his own approval ratings, hovering around 30%, have never been so low.
9月30日，在与西班牙裔社区代表交谈时，特朗普发表了一连串离题的言论。随后，他无意中透露：“我们在宣传上做得极差，但在治理国家上做得极好。”在这罕见的自我批评时刻，特朗普补充道：“我在解释国家发展得有多好方面做得非常糟糕。”
On September 30, speaking to representatives of the Hispanic community, Trump launched into a stream of digressions. Then, he let slip: "We're doing an extremely poor job of promotion and an extremely great job of running the country." In the rare moment of self-criticism, Trump added, "I've done a very bad job of explaining how good the country is doing." You have 82.56% of this article left to read. The rest is forrs only.
