巴拉克·奥巴马在中期选举前夕，对唐纳德·特朗普的第二任期进行猛烈抨击，称其“混乱、残忍和腐败”。
Barack Obama criticised the “chaos, cruelty and corruption” of Donald Trump’s second term as he launched an eviscerating personal attack on the Republican president in the run-up to the midterm elections.
这位前美国总统在俄亥俄州的一场民主党集会上表示，“够了”，并呼吁选民在投票时拒绝共和党人。
The former US president told a Democratic rally in Ohio that “enough is enough” and that voters must reject Republicans at the polls.
奥巴马在克利夫兰说：“在两年的混乱、残忍、腐败和无能之后，这种我们在现代史上前所未见的局面，让人有机会说，‘够了’。”他当时正在为参议员候选人谢罗德·布朗和州长候选人艾米·阿克顿助阵。
“After two years of chaos and cruelty and corruption and incompetence, the likes of which we have not seen in the modern era, you get a chance to say, ‘Enough is enough’,” Mr Obama said in Cleveland, where he was supporting Sherrod Brown, the Senate candidate, and Amy Acton, the gubernatorial candidate.
特朗普曾三次赢得俄亥俄州选票，包括在2024年以11分的优势获胜，但奥巴马出现在集会上表明，民主党人认为该州再次具有竞争力。
Mr Trump won Ohio three times, including by 11 points in 2024, but Mr Obama’s presence at the rally shows that Democrats believe that the state is competitive once again.
奥巴马说：“现任总统选择了一系列错误决策。”他补充道：“最重要的是，他决定发动一场没有人要求的、不必要的战争，”指的是美以对伊朗的战争。
“The current president chose to make a series of bad decisions,” Mr Obama said. “Most importantly, he decided to start an unnecessary war that nobody asked for,” he added, referring to the US-Israeli war on Iran.
奥巴马在克利夫兰的集会后，与民主党候选人艾米·阿克顿和谢罗德·布朗握手，党内认为有望在下个月的中期选举中取胜。特朗普的支持率自2025年1月上任以来一直在下降，这一下降趋势提升了民主党卷土重来的可能性。
Mr Obama joins hands with Democratic candidates Amy Acton and Sherrod Brown after a rally in Cleveland, Ohio, where the party believes it can win Mr Trump’s approval rating has been falling since he took office in January 2025, and those dwindling numbers have raised the prospect of a Democratic comeback in next month’s midterm vote.
俄亥俄州集会结束后，这位前总统前往密歇根州底特律，为该州参议员候选人阿卜杜勒·埃尔-赛义德和民主党州长候选人乔斯琳·本森拉票。
After the Ohio rally, the former president travelled to Detroit, Michigan, to campaign for Abdul el-Sayed, the state’s Senate candidate, and Jocelyn Benson, its Democratic gubernatorial candidate.
再次抨击特朗普政府时，奥巴马说：“我们从未见过一位总统如此彻底地利用公众资金进行敛财。我们已经数不清他和他的家族完成了多少交易。从未见过一位总统如此执着于以这种方式出售特权。”特朗普在回到白宫的第一年里，从加密货币中赚取了超过10亿美元。
Taking aim again at the Trump administration, Mr Obama said: “We have never seen a president excel in straight-up grifting, on your dime, like this. We have lost count of all the deals he and his family have done. Never seen a president so intent on selling favours like this.”Mr Trump made more than £1bn from cryptocurrency during his first year back in the White House.
唐纳德·特朗普周六在佐治亚州佩里向共和党支持者发表讲话。自近两年前就职以来，这位总统的支持率一直在下降。奥巴马将皮特·海格塞斯以及特朗普政府的其他官员形容为“不够严肃的人”，并表示这位国防部长更关心的不是结束伊朗战争，而是“我们部队的下颌线和睾酮水平”以及“直播行刑”。“你们觉得这个人每天花多少时间在镜子前？”奥巴马调侃道。
Donald Trump speaks to Republican supporters on Saturday in Perry, Georgia. The president’s approval ratings have been falling since he took office almost two years ago Mr Obama described Pete Hegseth and other Trump administration officials as “not serious people”, and said the defence secretary was more concerned about “the jawline and testosterone levels of our troops” and “livestreaming executions” than about ending the war in Iran. “How much time do you think this man spends in front of the mirror every day?”Mr Obama joked.
他称中期选举是一个“断路器”，旨在“遏制”特朗普总统任期内的“一些荒唐做法”，并指责共和党人似乎“代表着腐败政府、无能政府或无政府状态”。
He called the midterm vote a “circuit breaker” to “rein in some of the foolishness” of Mr Trump’s presidency, and accused the Republican Party of seeming “to stand for corrupt government, or inept government, or no government”.
“我们需要华盛顿和各州首府有严肃认真的人，”奥巴马说，“这是一个严肃的时代。现在不是搞真人秀的时候。”
“We need serious people in Washington and state capitals,” Mr Obama said. “These are serious times. This is not the time for reality TV.”
皮特·海格塞斯遭到批评，奥巴马将他与特朗普政府的其他成员形容为“不够严肃的人”。这位前总统还嘲讽了特朗普试图重新装修白宫的做法。
Pete Hegseth came in for criticism as Mr Obama described him and other members of the Trump administration as ‘not serious people’ The former president also mocked Mr Trump’s attempt to redecorate the White House.
“那些金子是怎么回事？他把白宫搞得像是萨达姆·侯赛因开了一家芝士蛋糕工厂，”奥巴马调侃道。
“What’s with all the gold? He’s got the White House looking like Saddam Hussein opened up a cheesecake factory,” Mr Obama joked.
在2011年的白宫记者协会年度晚宴上，奥巴马曾嘲笑特朗普的总统野心，并称他会把白宫变成一家赌场。
