What would a second coming of Donald Trump mean for the US and the world? Optimists can point to what happened last time: his presidency, they might assert, was full of sound and fury. But it signified little. He ruled more conventionally than many feared. Moreover, in the end, he was beaten by Joe Biden and departed. He departed with bad grace, it is true. But what else would one expect? He departed, all the same. Why would it not be similar if he won a second term, as polls suggest is likely?
唐納德?特朗普(Donald Trump)再次上臺對美國和世界意味著什么?樂觀主義者可能會參照上次的情況:他們可能會斷言,他的上一個總統任期充滿喧嘩與騷動。但參照上次的情況沒什么意義。他上次的執政算是傳統的,比許多人擔心的情況要好。而且,他最后敗給喬?拜登(Joe Biden),離開了白宮。的確,他走得很沒有風度。但你還能指望他怎樣呢?他總歸是走了。為什么說如果他贏得第二個任期(民意調查顯示這是可能的),情況會不一樣?
