用十个单词谴责唐纳德·特朗普与俄罗斯达成柴油交易的批评者面临一个悖论。他们在批评上投入的思考，很可能比特朗普在做决定时投入的还要多。乌克兰是乔·拜登的战争。因此高昂的柴油价格是乌克兰和/或乔·拜登的错。这就是他的说辞。懂了吗？
Critics who spend 10 words decrying Donald Trump’s diesel deal with Russia face a paradox. They likely invested more thought in their critique than Mr. Trump did in his decision. Ukraine is Joe Biden’s war. Therefore high diesel prices are Ukraine’s and/or Joe Biden’s fault. That’s his pitch. Got it?
特朗普迄今为止在应对民主党控制的国会即将展开的调查时，态度一直有点漫不经心。他不该这样。他自己的政党在其总统任期最后两年倒戈相向，这种可能性正一天天变大。他目前这出通过出卖乌克兰来“改善与俄罗斯关系”的闹剧，是推动事态走向极端的好办法。
Mr. Trump, until now, has been a bit cavalier in playing off the investigations to come from a Democratic Congress. He shouldn’t be. Less implausible by the day is his own party turning on him in the last two years of his presidency. His current circus of “improving relations” with Russia by selling out Ukraine is a good way to push it over the edge.
