特朗普总统周二打趣说，他犯了“一个错误”，那就是“研究”了参议员乔恩·赫斯特德（共和党-俄亥俄州）的“身体结构”，此前他关于这位参议员臀部的言论在上周登上了头条。
President Trump on Tuesday quipped that he made “the mistake” of “studying” Sen. Jon Husted’s (R-Ohio) “anatomy,” after his remarks about the senator’s backside made headlines last week.
“所以我在研究他，然后我犯了个错误，说我一开始是研究他的屁股，”特朗普在得克萨斯州拉伯克市为参议院候选人肯·帕克斯顿（共和党）举行的集会上对支持者说。“我只想说。然后我看了看他的脚，非常大。然后我看了看他的手。‘看看这双手，’他说。”总统补充说，赫斯特德的手“没问题”，但他的手指“像香肠一样”，而他自己的手因为和这位参议员握手而疼。
“So I’m studying him, and I made the mistake of saying that I started off by studying his a–,” Trump told supporters during a rally in Lubbock, Texas, for Senate candidate Ken Paxton (R). “I just want to say. And then I looked at his feet and they were massive. Then I looked at his hand. ‘See these hands,’ he said.”The president added that Husted’s hands were “fine” but that his fingers were “like sausages” and that his own hand hurt from shaking the senator’s.
“就像打在钢铁上一样，”他继续说道，集会参与者笑了起来。“但我犯了错误，研究了他的身体结构并向观众解释，观众很喜欢。”
“It was like hitting steel,” he continued, with rally attendees laughing. “But I made the mistake of studying his anatomy and explaining it to the audience, and the audience loved it.”
他承认了外界对他言论的报道，称“假新闻”媒体想知道特朗普为什么“谈论一个男人的身体结构”。“在那之后，是为了看看力量从何而来，因为他是一个凶猛的擒抱手，”特朗普说，指的是赫斯特德在代顿大学为飞人队担任防守后卫的经历。
He acknowledged the press around his remarks, saying the “fake news” media wanted to know what Trump was doing “talking about a man’s anatomy.”“After that, it was to see where the power came from, because he was a violent tackler,” Trump said, referring to Husted’s time as a defensive back for the Flyers at the University of Dayton.
总统最近几周多次评论这位俄亥俄州共和党人的体格，上周在北卡罗来纳州的一次集会上说，他看着赫斯特德说：“他的屁股就像，就像一堆肌肉。”赫斯特德周二欣然接受了这番赞美，在竞选活动上对支持者开玩笑说，他“一直在健身房锻炼”，为特朗普周三重返七叶树州做准备。“我不想让他失望，”这位参议员补充说。
The president has made several remarks about the Ohio Republican’s build in recent weeks, saying at a rally in North Carolina last week that he looked at Husted and said, “His a‑‑ is like, it’s like a pile of muscle.”Husted leaned into the praise Tuesday, joking to supporters at a campaign event that he “was in the weight room” in anticipation of Trump’s return to the Buckeye State on Wednesday. “I don’t want to let him down,” the senator added.
特朗普长期以来一直评论他人的外貌。他曾在集会、白宫活动和其他场合开玩笑说，他对女性外貌的评论可能会让他被“取消”。但关于男性体格的评论引起了政治光谱两边评论人士的侧目。
Trump has long remarked on people’s appearances. He has joked at rallies, White House events and elsewhere that his comments on women’s appearances could have him “canceled.”But the notes about men’s physiques have raised the eyebrows of commentators on both sides of the political spectrum.
赫斯特德与前参议员谢罗德·布朗（民主党-俄亥俄州）陷入一场势均力敌的选战，布朗在2024年输给了参议员伯尼·莫雷诺（共和党-俄亥俄州）。
Husted is locked in a tight race against former Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio), who lost to Sen. Bernie Moreno (R-Ohio) in 2024.
《国会山报》的选举合作伙伴决策台总部周二预测，布朗在11月3日的选举中击败赫斯特德的概率为56%。
The Hill’s election partner Decision Desk HQ predicted on Tuesday that Brown has a 56-percent probability of defeating Husted in the Nov. 3 election.
在11月中期选举前的最后一周，总统正展开密集的竞选活动，以在红州激发共和党人的支持，力图确保国会共和党人继续掌控国会山。民主党有望在下周赢回众议院的控制权，并在夺回参议院方面拥有一条狭窄的胜利之路。
The president has been on a campaign blitz to stir up GOP support in red states in the final week before the November midterm elections, looking to ensure that congressional Republicans maintain their hold on Capitol Hill. Democrats are favored to win back control of the House next week, with a narrow path to victory in reclaiming the Senate.
