《纽约时报》最近的一篇报道称，总统唐纳德·特朗普曾不止一次提出将记者赶出白宫，并把记者简报室改造成室内游泳池的想法。该报记者玛吉·哈伯曼和乔纳森·斯旺报道称，8月份在椭圆形办公室举行的一次会议上，特朗普亲自向时任白宫新闻秘书卡罗琳·莱维特建议将媒体从詹姆斯·S·布雷迪新闻简报室驱逐出去。
President Donald Trump has more than once floated the idea of booting reporters from the White House and turning the press briefing room into an indoor swimming pool, a recent report from The New York Times claimed. The outlet’s Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan reported that Trump personally suggested that the media be removed from the James S. Brady Press Briefing Room to then-White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt during an Oval Office meeting in August.
据报道，特朗普当时告诉莱维特，此举可能会成为她的“最后一份政治遗产”。然而，这件事最终并未发生。特朗普分享了血腥的动物袭击视频，其中一些是由人工智能生成的：“永远不要与大自然作对”三名熟悉讨论情况的消息人士向该媒体透露，这位美国总统在莱维特于8月27日离开政府之前，曾多次向她兜售这一计划。据报道，特朗普希望恢复为前总统富兰克林·D·罗斯福建造的室内游泳池。前总统理查德·尼克松政府后来将其覆盖，以便为媒体腾出空间。
Trump reportedly told Leavitt that the move could be her "last legacy.”However, that never happened. Trump shares graphic animal attack videos, some of them AI-generated: ‘Don’t ever mess with nature’Three sources familiar with the discussions told the outlet that the US President pitched the plan to Leavitt several times before she left the administration on August 27. Trump reportedly wishes to restore the indoor pool installed for former President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Former President Richard Nixon's administration later covered it to make room for the press.
特朗普甚至在9月份利用“真实社交”平台发布了图片，将标有“假新闻”的当前简报室与标有“罗斯福游泳池”的、饰有金饰的游泳池进行了对比。特朗普的顾问们有何诉求哈伯曼和斯旺报道称，特朗普的顾问历来反对将记者赶出白宫，因为他们担心 logistical（后勤）问题和可能产生的政治影响。然而，据报道，现在有更多的盟友在鼓励特朗普，其中包括联邦住房金融局局长比尔·普尔特，据信他已经准备好了拟建游泳池的视觉效果图。据报道，尽管他没有任何负责白宫设施的官方职责，但他还是这样做了。
Trump even took to Truth Social in September to post images comparing the current briefing room, labeled "Fake News," with a gold-adorned swimming pool labeled "FDR Pool." What Trump's advisers wantHaberman and Swan reported that Trump's advisers have historically resisted removing journalists from the White House because they are worried about logistical problems and possible political fallout. However, more allies are now reportedly encouraging Trump, including Federal Housing Finance Agency Director Bill Pulte, who is believed to have prepared a visual mock-up of the proposed pool. He reportedly did so even though he does not have any official responsibility for White House facilities.
白宫通讯联络主任史蒂芬·张并未排除这种可能性。他告诉该媒体：“所有选项都仍在考虑之中，我们将在适的时候发表声明。”
White House Communications Director Steven Cheung did not rule out the possibility. He told the outlet, "All options remain on the table, and we will make an announcement when appropriate."
特朗普经常在公开场合与记者发生冲突。他经常公开抨击那些他认为提问或报道不公的新闻机构和记者，经常指责他们制造他所谓的“假新闻”。
Trump frequently clashes with journalists in public. He routinely speaks out against news organizations and reporters whose questions or coverage he considers unfair, often accusing them of producing what he calls "fake news."
上个月，特朗普在联合国大会上看到CNN主持人凯特兰·柯林斯后，对其进行了严厉斥责。他试图禁止CNN、《政客》杂志和MS NOW进入白宫的企图后来被联邦法官阻止。
Last month, Trump lashed out at CNN host Kaitlan Collins after spotting her at the U.N. General Assembly. His attempt to ban CNN, Politico, and MS NOW from the White House was later blocked by a federal judge.
最近一次是在10月20日星期二，特朗普在椭圆形办公室的一场交流中斥责了一名记者。该记者后来被这位美国总统的快速反应团队识别为《独立报》驻白宫记者安德鲁·范因贝格。
Most recently, on Tuesday, October 20, Trump scolded a reporter during an Oval Office exchange. The journalist was later identified by the US President’s Rapid Response Team as Andrew Feinberg, a correspondent for the Independent.
特朗普感谢“传奇朋友”埃隆·马斯克承诺将SpaceX股票捐给美国儿童，并赞扬他的“难以置信的慷慨”这场激烈的交流发生在特朗普在白宫接受记者提问之时。在与范因贝格交流时，他明显感到恼火，当范因贝格质问为什么一个新的吹哨人项目只提供1%的佣金，而《虚假申报法》可以奖励吹哨人至少10%的奖金时，特朗普要求这名记者“小心点”。
“嘿！我不知道你到底是谁，但你最好小心点，”特朗普竖起手指斥责道。
Trump thanks ‘legendary friend’ Elon Musk for pledging SpaceX stock to American children, hails him for his ‘incredible generosity’The heated exchange took place as Trump took questions from reporters at the White House. He became visibly annoyed during his exchange with Feinberg, and asked the reporter to “be careful” when he questioned why a new whistleblower program offered a 1% commission when the False Claims Act can award whistleblowers at least 10%.“Hey! I don’t know who the hell you are but you better be careful,” Trump scolded, while raising a finger.
当范因贝格开始询问有关总统高尔夫球场的问题时，特朗普再次斥责了他。
Trump rebuked Feinberg again when he began asking about the president’s golf courses.“Quiet, quiet!”
“安静，安静！”特朗普说，“你怎么回事？你是有什么毛病吗？我实际上觉得你有点不正常。”
Trump said. “What’s wrong with you? Are you a sick person? I actually think there's something wrong with you.”
据KUTV报道，副总统万斯后来表示，关于吹哨人的问题是一个“根本不诚实的问题”。
Vice President JD Vance later said the whistleblower question was a "fundamentally dishonest question,” per KUTV.
