Remember when Donald Trump said, “I alone can fix it?” It turns out he will need help. Here is the good news. Mr Trump’s advisers are distancing the president-elect from some of his most outlandish promises — making Mexico pay for the border wall, for example. The reason: Mr Trump’s team is already dominated by the special interests whose same grip he promised to end. Having vowed a hostile takeover, the populist outsider is surrounding himself with insiders. Washington is rolling out the red carpet for Mr Trump. There is not a pitchfork in sight.
還記得唐納德?特朗普(Donald Trump)曾說過“我一個人就能搞定”嗎？事實證明，他也需要幫助。現在有了好消息。特朗普的顧問們正在讓這位候任總統遠離他最荒誕的一些承諾——例如，讓墨西哥為修建邊境隔離墻負擔費用。原因是特朗普的團隊已經被特殊利益集團把持，而后者對政治的主宰正是他承諾要終結的。這位曾發誓進行敵意接管的、信奉民粹主義的局外人周圍已全是局內人。華盛頓正在為特朗普展開紅地毯。沒人舉著干草叉等他。
