特朗普总统表示，联邦当局正在“调查”丹·沙利文，以及一名与共和党现任参议员丹·沙利文（R-AK）同名的独立挑战者，这场竞争发生在阿拉斯加参议院选举中。
President Donald Trump says federal authorities are "looking into" Dan Sullivan, and independent challenger who goes by the same name as the Republican incumbent, Sen. Dan Sullivan, R-AK, in the Alaska Senate race. Trump made the statement in an interview with Fox News after a campaign rally in Alaska on Tuesday night. He suggested the second Sullivan's presence in the race is a "hoax" by Democrats to syphon voters away from the Republican candidate.
特朗普在周二晚上阿拉斯加竞选集会后接受福克斯新闻采访时发表了上述言论。他暗示，第二位沙利文参选是民主党制造的“骗局”，旨在分走支持共和党候选人的选票。
"We are looking, I can't say federal, but we are looking into it. It's a disgrace. We have, I call him the real Dan Sullivan, a great senator from Alaska. And in the race, they put somebody named Dan Sullivan who knows nothing about politics. His name happens to be Dan Sullivan. They even wanted to change his middle initial, which was different.
“我们正在调查，我说不上是联邦调查，但我们正在调查此事。这太可耻了。我们有，我称他为真正的丹·沙利文，一位来自阿拉斯加的伟大参议员。而在选举中，他们让一个叫丹·沙利文、对政治一无所知的人参选。他的名字恰好是丹·沙利文。他们甚至想改他的中间名首字母，因为原本不同。他们想把它改成S，这样就完全一致了。我认为他们这么做太糟糕了，”特朗普说。
They wanted to make it an S so that it could be exactly correct. I think it's just terrible that they did it," Trump said. SEEING DOUBLE: SECOND DAN SULLIVAN ADVANCES, SETTING UP BIZARRE ALASKA SENATE BALLOT "And actually, he got two points or something in the primary.
“双重幻觉：第二位丹·沙利文晋级，制造出奇特的阿拉斯加参议院选票” “实际上，他在初选中得了两分或类似的成绩。真正的丹·沙利文赢了，但……这是件可怕的事。这是民主党又一个骗局，”他补充道。
The real Dan Sullivan won it, but... It's a terrible thing. It's another hoax by the Democrats," he added.
特朗普还就阿拉斯加州长选举发表了看法，他曾背书支持共和党候选人伯纳黛特·威尔逊。其他共和党候选人在选举中一直充当陪跑者，尽管威尔逊赢得了初选。特朗普呼吁她的共和党竞争对手戴夫·布朗森退出选举。
Trump also weighed in on the gubernatorial race in Alaska, where he has endorsed GOP candidate Bernadette Wilson. Other GOP candidates have been hangers-on in the race, despite Wilson winning the primary. Trump called on her Republican competitor, Dave Bronson, to drop out of the race. "He doesn't have to, but he should, because, frankly, he lost in the primary by substantial numbers to Bernadette. And I'm not involved that much in, you know, Alaska politics, other than I want to see Dan and Nick get in. But she won in the primaries, and the others should have dropped out. So now you have three Republicans running against one Democrat. And I don't like that. I don't like those odds very much.
“他不必退出，但他应该退出，因为坦率地说，他在初选中以显著差距输给了伯纳黛特。而且我其实并不深度参与阿拉斯加政治，除了我想看到丹和尼克当选。但她在初选中获胜，其他人本应退出。所以现在你面临三名共和党人对抗一名民主党人的局面。我不喜欢这种情况。我不喜欢这样的胜算。但她很出色，也许她会当选，但我觉得我有义务背书支持她，”特朗普说。
But there, she's great, and maybe she'll get in, but I thought I had an obligation to endorse her," Trump said. Trump went on to criticize the Democrat in the race, Mary Peltola, following her criticism that Sullivan had voted in favor of the war in Iran.

特朗普随后批评了参选的民主党人玛丽·佩尔托拉，此前佩尔托拉曾批评沙利文在伊朗战争问题上投了赞成票。
"Can you imagine if they attacked our cities and they attacked places where we are, including right here in Alaska? You would see turmoil far greater.
尽管遭到极左势力干扰，共和党参议员、前众议院民主党人仍从阿拉斯加的“丛林初选”中脱颖而出。总统认为，美国人明白，加油站价格上涨是为防止德黑兰获得核武器而需付出的“小代价”。
We have a lot of oil flowing right now in the almost strait, we control it. The war is going to be over very, very soon. We're going to have a big victory very shortly. Very, very shortly, and oil is going to come way, way down.
“你能想象他们若袭击我们的城市，袭击我们所在的地方，包括就在阿拉斯加这里吗？你将看到远比现在更大的动荡。目前我们在几乎海峡地区有大量石油流动，我们对此拥有控制权。战争将在非常、非常短的时间内结束。我们很快就会取得重大胜利。很快、非常很快，石油价格也将大幅下跌。汽油价格将回到以前的水平，”特朗普说。
Gasoline is going come down to where it was before," Trump said. "I had it down to $1.85 a gallon in some places like Iowa and a lot of places, actually. And I think we're going to maybe even top those numbers.
“我曾在一些地方，比如爱荷华州和许多其他地区，将油价降至每加仑1.85美元。实际上，我认为我们甚至可能超过那个水平。所以你们将会看到这一点。但最重要的是，伊朗作为全球头号恐怖主义赞助国，永远不会拥有核武器。如果他们真的拥有核武器，你可能此刻就不会站在这里了，”他补充道。
So you're going see it. But most importantly, Iran, the number-one state sponsor of terror, will never have a nuclear weapon. If they had one, you might not be standing here right now," he added.
