特朗普总统周四对一名记者发火，该记者询问他最近取消集会是否与健康状况有关，或者是因为厌倦了奔波。特朗普原定于周末前往堪萨斯州塞利纳，为共和党候选人助选拉票，距离中期选举仅剩几天。他的实地行程被取消，改为在包括堪萨斯州和爱荷华州在内的多个州举行一系列电话集会。变更宣布后，一名路透社记者就该决定向总统追问。
President Trump on Thursday snapped at a reporter asked a question about whether his recent rally cancellations were related to his health or being sick of traveling. Trump was originally scheduled to travel to Salina, Kan., over the weekend to rally voters for Republican candidates, days ahead of the midterm elections. His in-person visit was cancelled and replaced by a series of telerallies in multiple states, including Kansas and Iowa. After the changes were announced, a reporter from Reuters pressed the president on the decision.
PBS新闻发布的一段视频片段显示，特朗普表示他在竞选途中一直“状况良好”。该记者追问了另一个关于他健康的问题，称他一直在“进行大量奔波”。“哦，你问这个问题真恶心。你才恶心，”特朗普回应道。“你跟了我两周了。我感觉完美。你真让人作呕，”他继续说道。“照照镜子吧。你看起来糟透了。”
A video clip of the interaction, posted by PBS News, shows Trump saying he has been doing "good" while on the campaign trail. The journalist followed up with another inquiry about his health, as he has been doing "a lot of traveling." “Oh, you’re sick to ask that question. You are sick,” Trump replied. "You've been following me for two weeks. I feel perfect. You are disgusting," he continued. "Put yourself in shape. You look like hell."
堪萨斯州是决定明年参议院控制权的几场高风险参议院竞选的所在州之一。现任参议员罗杰·马歇尔（共和党）面临民主党候选人亚当·汉密尔顿的强劲挑战。非党派选举预测机构Decision Desk HQ将该竞选评为马歇尔以微弱优势领先，获胜概率为58%。特朗普告诉记者，虽然他选择在向日葵州（堪萨斯州别称）举行电话集会而不是周六亲自前往，但“他（马歇尔）状况很好。”总统提醒该记者，他周五仍将前往佛罗里达州参加竞选活动。“我不觉得非得去堪萨斯州，我明天要去佛罗里达州，”他说。
Kansas is home to one of the high-stakes Senate races that could help determine control of the upper chamber next year. Incumbent Sen. Roger Marshall (R) is facing a tough battle against Democratic candidate Adam Hamilton. Nonpartisan election forecaster Decision Desk HQ rates the contest as leaning narrowly in favor of Marshall, who has a 58 percent probability of winning. Trump told reporters that while he opted for a telerally in the Sunflower State instead of traveling Saturday, “he is doing very well.”The president reminded the reporter that he will still be traveling Friday for a campaign event in Florida. “I don’t feel I have to go to Kansas, I’m going to Florida tomorrow,” he said.
这并非总统近日来首次对记者发火。本月早些时候，他在椭圆形办公室打断了一名开始询问东波托马克公园高尔夫球场翻修及随后法律纠纷的记者。“安静，”特朗普插话道。“你怎么了？总统补充道：“你是有病吗？”
This is not the first time the president has snapped at a reporter in recent days. Earlier this month, he cut off a reporter in the Oval Office that started to ask about the East Potomac Park golf course renovations and subsequent legal battle. “Quiet," Trump interjected. “What’s wrong with you? Are you a sick person?” the president added.
