乔什·博克登上“空军一号”:本月至今,唐纳德·特朗普总统已累计在“空军一号”上度过了约70个小时的时间,他穿梭于美国各地的集会现场,试图为共和党在中期选举中争取更多支持。

JOSH BOAK ABOARD AIR FORCE ONE — President Donald Trump has clocked about 70 hours aboard Air Force One so far this month, racing from rally to rally across the United States to try to bolster his Republican Party in the midterm elections .

随行的团队成员包括经验丰富的拳击冠军、内阁成员,以及那些负责协助特朗普制定政策与言论的相对不为人知的助手们。这些人的名单实际上反映了谁在总统心中拥有更大的影响力。

Also along for the ride: an entourage ranging from aging boxing champions to Cabinet members to relatively unknown aides who help craft Trump’s words and ideas. The passenger list for Trump’s marathon through the sky signals who has the ear of the president.

“这充分体现了特朗普的优先事项,”阿克伦大学政治学教授大卫·科恩指出:“他与哪些人在一起,就意味着他会听取他们的意见;这些人会在私密空间里向美国总统低声建议。”以下是本月能够进入“空军一号”内部、从而接触总统权力核心的人士名单:白宫幕僚长苏西·怀尔斯最近刚刚完成乳腺癌治疗,她经常乘坐“空军一号”出行。

“It can say what his priorities are,” said David Cohen, a professor of political science at the University of Akron. “Who he surrounds himself with are the people he is going to be listening to. They’re the ones who are going to be whispering in his ear and talking softly in private quarters to the president of the United States.”Here’s a look at who has had access to power in the confines of Trump’s plane this month. White House chief of staff Susie Wiles , who recently finished treatment for breast cancer, is a frequent flyer.

特朗普曾称怀尔斯(她曾共同负责2024年总统竞选的准备工作)为“世界上最有权势的女性”。在特朗普结束第15场集会后,“空军一号”从北卡罗来纳州的格林维尔起飞时,怀尔斯向记者们总结了这次集会的效果:“非常成功,说实话,一切都非常顺利。”

Trump has called Wiles, who co-managed his 2024 campaign, the “most powerful woman in the world.”As Air Force One ascended from Greenville, North Carolina, after Trump’s 15th rally in 20 days, Wiles gave reporters her take on how it went as she walked up the aisle. “Great,” she said.

其他入选此次行程的官员还包括:试图推动结束伊朗战争的特使史蒂夫·威特科夫;负责执行特朗普移民政策的副幕僚长斯蒂芬·米勒;住房与城市发展部长斯科特·特纳;财政部长斯科特·贝森特,以及农业部长布鲁克·罗林斯。

“They’ve all been great, honestly.”Other insiders who’ve made the manifest: special envoy Steve Witkoff, who has been trying to negotiate an end to the Iran war that has weighed on Republicans’ midterm fortunes; deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller, the architect of Trump’s immigration crackdown; Housing and Urban Development Secretary Scott Turner; Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins.

在随行的内阁成员中,出现频率最高的是商务部长霍华德·卢特尼克(Howard Lutnick)——他是一位亿万富翁,曾担任金融服务公司“Cantor Fitzgerald”的负责人。作为特朗普自20世纪90年代以来的忠实盟友,卢特尼克经常会在总统的演讲中笑出声来;他在特朗普的集会上的主要职责是宣传新的工厂投资项目,以此来让支持者相信经济状况良好。

The most frequent Cabinet member aboard has been Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, a billionaire who previously ran the financial services firm Cantor Fitzgerald. A Trump buddy going back to the 1990s, Lutnick can often be heard laughing at the president’s jokes. His role at Trump’s rallies has been to highlight new factory investments that Trump uses to try to convince his supporters that the economy is doing well.

比尔·普尔特(Bill Pulte)至少参加了特朗普五次中期选举相关的旅行活动,这表明他在政府中的实际地位远高于他的官方头衔(联邦住房金融局局长)所暗示的。作为一家房地产公司的继承人,普尔特不仅是特朗普的密友,还曾短暂担任过国家情报局的代理局长,并负责监督该机构的裁员工作。他还曾对杰罗姆·鲍威尔(Jerome Powell)和丽莎·库克(Lisa Cook)等美联储官员施加过压力。

Bill Pulte has joined Trump for at least five legs of the midterm marathon so far, a sign that his status inside the administration is far higher than his title — director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency — would suggest. The scion of a homebuilding company, Pulte is a Trump pal who was for a brief period also the acting director of national intelligence and oversaw layoffs in that office. He has led pressure campaigns on Federal Reserve officials such as Jerome Powell and Lisa Cook .

普尔特曾提出过一些政策建议(例如将30年期的抵押贷款期限延长至50年期),但这一建议后来被放弃了。

Pulte has also passed along policy ideas such as changing the 30-year mortgage to 50 years, an idea that has since been abandoned.

联邦通信委员会主席布伦丹·卡尔(Brendan Carr)也多次随同总统出行,尤其是在10月13日和10月14日那次漫长的西海岸之旅中。卡尔试图利用自己的监管权力来批评各大广播媒体对总统相关事件的报道。

Federal Communications Commission Chairman Brendan Carr has also flown with the president, notably on Oct. 13 and Oct. 14 on a lengthy West Coast swing. Carr has sought to use his regulatory powers over broadcast networks to chastise them over their coverage of the president.

在总统身边的助理团队中,娜塔莉·哈普(Natalie Harp)是最重要的成员之一——她几乎参与了特朗普的所有出行活动。负责椭圆形办公室日常运营的沃尔特·诺塔(Walt Nauta)的飞行里程也与她相当接近;诺塔的副手钱伯兰·哈里斯(Chamberlain Harris)也是频繁出差的成员之一。哈里斯同时还担任“美术委员会”(Commission of Fine Arts)的成员,该委员会负责审查白宫宴会厅及其他与特朗普相关的建设项目。

Chief among the retinue of assistants around the president is Natalie Harp, an executive assistant who is on most of Trump’s trips. Walt Nauta, the director of Oval Office Operations, is not far behind her in air miles. Chamberlain Harris, Nauta’s deputy, is another frequent traveler. She also serves as a member of the Commission of Fine Arts , one of the government bodies with a role in reviewing the White House ballroom and other Trump construction projects.

尽管特朗普喜欢即兴演讲,但他的演讲稿撰写负责人罗斯·沃辛顿本月多次陪同他出行。在总统的竞选演讲中,他承诺:如果共和党人在11月3日的选举中保住众议院和参议院的多数席位,将为相关人士发放5000美元的奖金。特朗普还经常强调他所访问地区的新的工厂建设项目及投资计划。

Although Trump likes to ad-lib, the speechwriting director, Ross Worthington, has joined him repeatedly on the plane this month. The president’s stump speech features a promise of $5,000 checks if Republicans keep their House and Senate majorities after the Nov. 3 election. He also tends to highlight new factory projects and investments in the communities he visits.

负责在社交媒体上发布特朗普相关视频的公关顾问玛戈·马丁也参与了这次旅行;白宫公关主管史蒂文·张也一同随行。凯蒂·扎卡里亚曾担任白宫新闻秘书五天,其中两天她与特朗普一起前往阿拉斯加、内华达州、亚利桑那州和蒙大拿州。

Margo Martin, a communications adviser who posts videos of Trump on social media, has joined the tour, as has White House communications director Steven Cheung. Katie Zacharia, who was the White House press secretary for five days, spent two of them with the president on a trip to Alaska, Nevada, Arizona and Montana.

在这些旅行中,特朗普身边围绕着许多为中期选举制定战略的白宫顾问及外部专家,其中包括他的政治总监马特·布拉索(Matt Brasseaux)——他曾任职于共和党全国委员会。约翰尼·德斯特法诺(Johnny DeStefano)曾在特朗普的第一任总统任期内担任高级助手,今年夏天暂时重返白宫参与中期选举策略的制定;前白宫副幕僚长詹姆斯·布莱尔(James Blair)也一同参与了这次旅行。

Trump is surrounded on these trips by White House and external consultants making strategic choices for the midterms, including Matt Brasseaux, his political director, who previously worked at the Republican National Committee. Johnny DeStefano, who was a top aide in Trump’s first term, temporarily rejoined the White House this summer to work on midterm strategy and has been seen on Air Force One, as has former White House deputy chief of staff James Blair.

面对可能十分激烈的中期选举,特朗普邀请了一些拳击界的知名人士与他同行,其中包括迈克·泰森(Mike Tyson)、弗洛伊德·梅威瑟二世(Floyd Mayweather Jr.)和埃万德·霍利菲尔德(Evander Holyfield)。在1997年的一场重量级拳击比赛中,泰森曾咬掉了霍利菲尔德的右耳。不过,这几位人士并未同时乘坐“空军一号”(Air Force One)出行。

Going into what could be some rough midterm races, Trump has brought aboard with him some of the biggest names in boxing: Mike Tyson, Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Evander Holyfield . In a 1997 heavyweight championship bout, Tyson bit off a piece of Holyfield’s right ear . They did not fly on Air Force One at the same time.

陶森大学教授玛莎·库马尔表示,总统在竞选期间的出行活动通常非常繁忙,而且总统身边常常会有一些能够营造轻松氛围的人,帮助他们在忙碌的工作中保持放松状态。“你希望身边的人能让你感到舒适,”库马尔说,“毕竟这种压力确实很大,你需要一些缓解方式。”还有哪些名人曾与特朗普一同出行呢?已退役的NASCAR赛车冠军理查德·佩蒂去了北卡罗来纳州;前NFL教练乔恩·格鲁登去了俄亥俄州;已退役的NFL跑卫托德·格尔利去了乔治亚州;从网红转型为拳击手的杰克·保罗也陪同特朗普一起出行。这些名人在特朗普的集会中都曾短暂亮相。

Towson University professor Martha Kumar said that presidential travel during a campaign can be intense and that presidents often have passengers who can keep the environment relaxed even as the work continues. “You want to have people around you that make you feel comfortable,” Kumar said. “When you think about it, it is really stressful. You want some relief.”Who else has hitched a ride with Trump? Retired NASCAR champion Richard Petty went to North Carolina, former NFL coach Jon Gruden to Ohio, and retired NFL running back Todd Gurley to Georgia. Influencer-turned-boxer Jake Paul also traveled with the president. The celebrities have had cameos in Trump’s rallies.

过去一个月里,特朗普出行的主要目的是帮助共和党人继续控制国会。

The goal of Trump’s travel over the past month has been to help Republicans keep control of Congress.

作为白宫与众议院之间的联络人,杰夫·弗里兰德曾多次与多位议员一同乘坐“空军一号”出行。南卡罗来纳州的众议员威廉·蒂蒙斯、德克萨斯州的几位众议员(包括贝丝·范杜因和布兰登·吉尔),以及乔治亚州的布莱恩·杰克、北卡罗来纳州的蒂姆·摩尔和佛罗里达州的安娜·保琳娜·卢纳也都陪同特朗普出行。怀俄明州共和党籍参议员约翰·巴拉索(排名第二的共和党参议员)本月也多次与特朗普一同出行;同样,正在考虑2028年竞选总统的德克萨斯州参议员泰德·克鲁兹也多次随行。

As the White House’s liaison with the House, Jeff Freeland has been on Air Force One with multiple lawmakers. Rep. William Timmons of South Carolina flew with the president, as have multiple Texas House members, including Reps. Beth Van Duyne and Brandon Gill, as well as Reps. Brian Jack of Georgia, Tim Moore of North Carolina and Anna Paulina Luna of Florida. John Barrasso of Wyoming, the second-ranking Republican senator, has flown multiple times with the president this month, as has Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, who is considering a presidential bid in 2028.
