总统唐纳德·特朗普的顾问们表示，他已解雇凯蒂·扎卡里亚的新闻秘书职务，结束了她在白宫担任最高发言人一周的动荡任期。
President Donald Trump has fired Katie Zacharia as press secretary, advisers to the president said, ending her turbulent week-long stint as the White House’s top spokesperson.
就在刚上任几天，特朗普总统最新的新闻秘书凯蒂·扎卡里亚现在已经是他以前的新闻秘书了。就在刚刚几分钟前。
这个消息是在特朗普总统离开白宫、在上一小时告诉记者这句话之后立即传出的。
JUST DAYS ON THE JOB, PRESIDENT TRUMP'S NEWEST PRESS SECRETARY, KATIE ZACHARIA, IS NOW HIS FORMER PRESS SECRETARY. AS OF JUST MINUTES AGO. >> THAT NEWS COMING RIGHT AFTER PRESIDENT TRUMP WAS LEAVING THE WHITE HOUSE AND TELLING REPORTERS THIS IN THE LAST HOUR. >> KATIE IS OFF TO A START THAT THE NEWS HAS BEEN SO NASTY TO HER.
凯蒂一上岗就遭遇了新闻界对她极其苛刻的待遇。我确实从未见过这样的情况。我曾诚恳地对她说，如果我是你，我会重新考虑你所想的。>> 它。
I'VE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT, ACTUALLY. AND I SAID I SAID TO HER HONESTLY, IF I WERE YOU, I'D RECONSIDER YOU THINK ABOUT. >> IT. >> LET'S GO NOW TO CNN'S BRIAN STELTER.
现在转到CNN的布赖恩·斯泰勒。布赖恩，我们不到一小时前才和你通话。当时你正在对这些评论作出反应并告诉我们情况。现在我们得到的消息是，她实际上已经被解雇了。显然，总统在前往海军陆战队一号直升机的路上，对外界所说的话比之前更温和一些。
BRIAN, WE TALKED TO YOU LESS THAN AN HOUR AGO. WE WERE YOU WERE REACTING AND TELLING US ABOUT THOSE COMMENTS. NOW WE HAVE WORD THAT SHE ACTUALLY WAS FIRED. OBVIOUSLY, THE PRESIDENT MORE GENTLE IN WHAT HE WAS SAYING OUT THERE AS HE WAS ON HIS WAY TO MARINE ONE. >> YES, BUT THIS IS OFFICIAL.
是的，但这是官方消息。她在仅仅工作五天后就被解雇了。她的任命是在不到一周前才宣布的，具体是上周五下午晚些时候。当你看看时间线时会发现，总统希望她立即上岗，希望她在周二公众面前之前就离开，希望她能主持那场简报会。但那场简报会却很尴尬。它很生硬。它非常、非常简短。这让新闻团感到失望，也让更广泛的公众感到失望。她甚至在那场简报中设法夸大了一些内容。那是她唯一的一场简报会。自从周二那场简报会以来，她一直受到关于她资历的质疑。人们质疑她为何在那儿自称是律师、律师，而当别人把她描述为执业律师时，她并未纠正。这确实成为了审查的焦点。但我认为这不仅仅是关于这个问题。这也涉及她在周二简报会上的表现以及此后的采访。这位总统，无论喜欢与否，深切关注电视表现。他是这种媒体的研究者。他会长时间思考在镜头前意味着什么，以及他如何试图塑造自己的形象。
SHE IS OUT OF THE JOB AFTER ONLY FIVE DAYS. HER APPOINTMENT WAS ANNOUNCED LESS THAN ONE WEEK AGO. LATER LAST FRIDAY AFTERNOON. WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE TIMELINE AND THE PRESIDENT WANTED HER TO START RIGHT AWAY, WANTED HER TO GET OUT BEFORE THE PUBLIC ON TUESDAY, WANTED HER TO HOLD THAT BRIEFING. BUT THAT BRIEFING WAS AWKWARD. IT WAS STILTED. IT WAS VERY, VERY SHORT. IT WAS DISAPPOINTING TO THE PRESS CORPS, BUT ALSO TO THE WIDER PUBLIC. SHE EVEN MANAGED TO GET SOME EXAGGERATIONS IN THERE. TO HER ONE AND ONLY BRIEFING. AND EVER SINCE THAT BRIEFING ON TUESDAY, SHE HAS BEEN CHALLENGED ABOUT ABOUT HER CREDENTIALS. THIS QUESTION ABOUT WHY SHE WAS OUT THERE IDENTIFYING HERSELF AS A LAWYER, AS AN ATTORNEY, NOT CORRECTING PEOPLE WHEN THEY WOULD DESCRIBE HER AS A PRACTICING ATTORNEY. THAT HAS REALLY BEEN A FOCAL POINT OF THE SCRUTINY. BUT I THINK IT'S ABOUT MORE THAN JUST THAT QUESTION. IT'S ALSO ABOUT HER PERFORMANCE AT THE BRIEFING ON TUESDAY AND ABOUT HER INTERVIEWS SINCE THEN. THIS PRESIDENT, LIKE IT OR NOT, CARES DEEPLY ABOUT TELEVISION PERFORMANCE. HE IS A STUDENT OF THIS MEDIUM. HE THINKS VERY LONG ABOUT WHAT IT MEANS TO BE ON CAMERA AND HOW HE TRIES TO PORTRAY HIMSELF.
他对她的表现方式并不满意。现在看来，周四晚上和今天早上这两次福克斯新闻的采访预示了扎卡里亚的离职。她当时与肖恩·汉尼蒂一起出现在福克斯新闻台，今天早上又在《福克斯与朋友》节目中为自己辩护，称自己几乎没有时间为新工作做准备，并表示她将尽最大努力胜任这份工作。但这些采访很艰难。主持人持怀疑态度，而且回过头来看，这些主持人实际上在预示即将发生在她身上的事情。
AND HE WAS NOT HAPPY WITH THE WAY SHE CAME ACROSS. NOW, IT TURNS OUT THESE PAIR OF FOX NEWS INTERVIEWS ON THURSDAY NIGHT AND THIS MORNING FORESHADOWED ZACHARIAH'S DEPARTURE. SHE WAS OUT THERE WITH SEAN HANNITY AND THIS MORNING ON FOX AND FRIENDS DEFENDING HER ROLE AND SAYING SHE HAD LITTLE TIME TO PREP FOR THE NEW JOB AND SAYING SHE'S GOING TO DO HER BEST TO LIVE UP TO THE JOB. BUT THOSE INTERVIEWS WERE TOUGH. THE HOSTS WERE SKEPTICAL, SKEPTICAL, AND IN RETROSPECT, THOSE HOSTS WERE FORESHADOWING WHAT WAS ABOUT TO HAPPEN WITH HER. >> AND THIS IS A RECORD NO. >> THIS IS A RECORD.
这是一项纪录。>> 这是一项纪录。我想你在想，布里安娜·安东尼·斯卡拉穆奇，他曾因被任命为白宫传播总监而臭名昭著，随后在仅11天后被迫离职。那是2017年夏天的事。那是一个时刻，我想我们当时都了解了特朗普白宫的混乱本质，以及人们如何可能被雇佣，然后又如此突然地被解雇。我实际上昨晚和莫奇通了电话。
I THINK YOU'RE THINKING, BRIANNA ANTHONY SCARAMUCCI, WHO INFAMOUSLY WAS APPOINTED WHITE HOUSE COMMUNICATIONS DIRECTOR AND THEN WAS FORCED OUT AFTER 11 DAYS. THAT WAS IN THE SUMMER OF 2017. THAT WAS A MOMENT WHEN I THINK WE ALL LEARNED ABOUT THE CHAOTIC NATURE OF THE TRUMP WHITE HOUSE AND THE WAY PEOPLE COULD BE HIRED AND THEN FIRED SO ABRUPTLY. I ACTUALLY TALKED TO MOOCH LAST NIGHT.
我问他关于扎卡里亚的事情。他预测她会在白宫工作的时间比他自己更长。他说，看，她本来就不该站在讲台后面，但她是个好人。她不是坏人。就在刚才，斯卡拉穆奇发表了看法，因为有些人把这种情况称为“莫奇”或“斯卡拉穆奇”——即某人在白宫职位上的任职时长。他说，引用他的话：“纪录是用来被打破的。”但我不会因他人的痛苦而感到快乐。
I ASKED HIM ABOUT ZACHARIA. HE WAS PREDICTING SHE WOULD LAST LONGER THAN HE DID IN HER WHITE HOUSE JOB. HE SAID, LOOK, SHE'S NOT MEANT TO BE BEHIND THE PODIUM, BUT SHE'S A NICE PERSON. SHE'S NOT A BAD PERSON. SO A MOMENT AGO, SCARAMUCCI HAS WEIGHED IN BECAUSE SOME PEOPLE REFER TO THIS AS A MOOCH OR A SCARAMUCCI. THE LENGTH OF TIME SOMEONE STAYS IN A WHITE HOUSE JOB, HIS REACTION, QUOTE, RECORDS ARE MADE TO BE BROKEN. BUT I TAKE NO PLEASURE IN OTHER PEOPLE'S PAIN.
我能强调这一点吗？你知道，也许某人资历不足。也许他们被安排到了一个备受关注的高级职位，这并非他们自己的过错。这实际上是在谈论总统的招聘做法。这涉及到他是如何选择他想让自己身边的人的。他看中了某位电视人物。他把她从加利福尼亚带到了华盛顿特区，进行了一次非常简短的面试。然后他突然宣布她被录用了。他说她是一名律师。但事实并非如此。
AND CAN I UNDERSCORE THAT FOR A MOMENT? YOU KNOW, MAYBE SOMEONE WAS UNDERQUALIFIED. MAYBE THEY WERE PUT UP IN A JOB IN A VERY HIGH PROFILE POSITION, THROUGH NO FAULT OF THEIR OWN. THIS IS ACTUALLY ABOUT THE PRESIDENT'S HIRING PRACTICES. THIS IS ABOUT HOW HE CHOOSES WHO HE WANTS TO SURROUND HIMSELF WITH IN HIS INNER CIRCLE. HE LIKED SOMEONE ON TELEVISION. HE BROUGHT THEM FROM CALIFORNIA TO D.C., A VERY SHORT JOB INTERVIEW. THEN HE SUDDENLY ANNOUNCED SHE WAS HIRED. HE SAID SHE WAS AN ATTORNEY. SHE'S NOT.
这实际上最终取决于总统及其领导力 >> 以及接下来会发生什么，因为在卡罗琳·莱维特离开后，他花了一段时间才找人接替她。嗯，你觉得呢？我的意思是，我们应该期待什么？他是否可能正在寻找某人来填补这个现在空缺的职位。>> 我刚刚在真实社交上查看，以确保他没有关于此事发表更多言论。你知道的，他在离开白宫时表示，他想在周末旅行结束后再和她谈谈。
THIS IS REALLY ULTIMATELY ON THE PRESIDENT AND HIS LEADERSHIP >> TO WHAT COMES NEXT, BECAUSE IT TOOK HIM SOME TIME AFTER KAROLINE LEAVITT LEFT TO REPLACE HER. UM, HOW DO YOU THINK? I MEAN, WHAT SHOULD WE EXPECT? IS HE POTENTIALLY LOOKS FOR SOMEBODY TO TO NOW TO FILL THIS NOW EMPTY JOB. >> I WAS I WAS JUST LOOKING AT TRUTH SOCIAL TO MAKE SURE HE HADN'T SAID ANYTHING MORE ABOUT THAT. YOU KNOW, HE INDICATED WHEN HE WAS LEAVING THE WHITE HOUSE THAT HE WANTED TO TALK TO HER AGAIN AFTER HIS WEEKEND OF TRAVELS.
也许他会为她安排另一个白宫职务。我相信。CNN，我们正在联系扎卡里亚，试图直接听取她的意见，但到目前为止我们还没有收到回复。嗯，你知道的，在我看来，他很可能会在中期选举之前让这个职位保持空缺。嗯，他已经让这个职位空缺好几周了。而现实是，这个白宫并没有像奥巴马时期那样每天举行新闻发布会，拜登时期也经常如此。
MAYBE HE WILL HAVE ANOTHER ROLE FOR HER IN THE WHITE HOUSE. I BELIEVE. CNN, WE ARE REACHING OUT TO ZACHARIA TRYING TO HEAR FROM HER DIRECTLY, AND WE'VE NOT HEARD BACK YET. UH, YOU KNOW, IT SEEMS TO ME HE'LL LIKELY LEAVE THIS JOB VACANT BETWEEN NOW AND THE MIDTERM ELECTIONS. UH, HE HAD BEEN LEAVING IT VACANT FOR SEVERAL WEEKS. AND THE REALITY IS, THERE ARE NOT DAILY PRESS BRIEFINGS FROM THIS WHITE HOUSE THE WAY THERE WERE IN THE OBAMA YEARS AND FREQUENTLY IN THE BIDEN YEARS.
特朗普在他的第一个任期内曾多月没有举行新闻发布会，而卡罗琳·莱维特则每周举行一次简报。所以我们现在将重新回到没有新闻发布会的干旱时期。而新闻发布会很重要，因为它们象征着美国政府对外开放、营商友好。但更重要的是，新闻秘书还会在幕后与媒体互动并提供便利。而我们最近看到的特朗普则恰恰相反。
TRUMP WENT MANY MONTHS WITHOUT HAVING PRESS BRIEFINGS DURING HIS FIRST TERM, KAROLINE LEAVITT HELD BRIEFINGS ONCE A WEEK. SO WE'RE GOING TO BE BACK TO THAT DROUGHT NOW WITHOUT PRESS BRIEFINGS. AND BRIEFINGS ARE IMPORTANT BECAUSE THEY'RE A SYMBOL OF THE AMERICAN GOVERNMENT BEING OPEN FOR BUSINESS. BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY, THE PRESS SECRETARY ALSO ENGAGES WITH THE PRESS BEHIND THE SCENES AND PROVIDES ACCESSIBILITY. AND WHAT WE'VE SEEN FROM TRUMP LATELY IS THE OPPOSITE.
他正试图今天把媒体推开。CNN 原本被安排为异地电视采访池。那是负责为总统乘坐空军一号的旅行进行空中拍摄的新闻团队，覆盖乔治亚州和佛罗里达州。白宫基本上把 CNN 排除在了此次行程之外，实际上禁止我们乘坐空军一号。
HE IS TRYING TO PUSH THE PRESS OUT TODAY. CNN WAS SCHEDULED TO BE THE OUT OF TOWN TV POOL. THAT'S THE NEWS CREW RESPONSIBLE FOR FILMING THE PRESIDENT'S TRIP ON AIR FORCE ONE AND IN GEORGIA AND IN FLORIDA. THE WHITE HOUSE EXCLUDED CNN FROM THE TRIP BASICALLY BANNED US FROM FLYING ON AIR FORCE ONE.
即使早在本周早些时候，一名联邦法官重申了他的命令，称CNN必须被允许进入白宫场地，特朗普现在正尝试一种新的花招，涉及空军一号，他一直让记者下飞机，因为他想挑选谁可以报道他。因此，他目前正处于试图让白宫不可进入的位置。他正在把人们赶出去。因此，观众应该知道，由于其他网络没有填补CNN的空缺，他们本周末可能会看到特朗普总统的镜头减少。他们没有占用那个新闻池席位并完成工作。相反，有
SO EVEN THOUGH A FEDERAL JUDGE EARLIER THIS WEEK REAFFIRMED HIS ORDER, SAYING THAT CNN MUST BE ALLOWED ACCESS TO THE WHITE HOUSE GROUNDS, TRUMP IS NOW TRYING THIS NEW STUNT INVOLVING AIR FORCE ONE, WHERE HE KEEPS REPORTERS OFF THE PLANE BECAUSE HE WANTS TO PICK AND CHOOSE WHO CAN COVER HIM. SO HE'S IN A POSITION RIGHT NOW WHERE HE'S TRYING NOT TO HAVE AN ACCESSIBLE WHITE HOUSE. HE'S PUSHING PEOPLE OUT INSTEAD. AND SO VIEWERS SHOULD KNOW WE'RE PROBABLY GOING TO SEE LESS OF PRESIDENT TRUMP THIS WEEKEND BECAUSE THE OTHER NETWORKS ARE NOT FILLING IN FOR CNN. THEY ARE NOT TAKING THAT POOL SEAT AND DOING THE JOB. INSTEAD, THERE
