For a change, Donald Trump has been a model of restraint. Instead of stirring things up on Twitter, the Republican nominee struck the right tone after five police officers were killed in Dallas. Every American should be able to live in safety, he said — thus implicitly including black victims of police shootings. Now was the time for unity, prayer, love and leadership. His words could have been uttered by Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama. Having evoked every racial division in the book — and adding some pages of his own — could Mr Trump have turned a new leaf?
與以往不一樣的是，這一次唐納德?特朗普(Donald Trump)成了克制的楷模。這位共和黨總統(tǒng)候選人在5名達(dá)拉斯警官被槍殺后做了正確的表態(tài)，而不是在Twitter上借機(jī)炒作。他說(shuō)，每個(gè)美國(guó)人都應(yīng)該能夠安全地生活（此言含蓄地包括被警察槍殺的黑人受害者）。現(xiàn)在是團(tuán)結(jié)、祈禱、展現(xiàn)愛(ài)和領(lǐng)導(dǎo)力的時(shí)候。這些話本來(lái)可能從希拉里?克林頓(Hillary Clinton)或巴拉克?奧巴馬(Barack Obama)的嘴里說(shuō)出。在揭開(kāi)所有種族隔閡的傷疤——再加上他自創(chuàng)的一些矛盾——之后，特朗普會(huì)不會(huì)翻開(kāi)了新的一頁(yè)？
