Original Caption: Trump Mocking Fauci Is A “Disaster” Causing An Uproar, US Media: Trump Mocking Him For Shameful Political Purposes
[El reportero del Global Times Zheng Ke y Zhang Jidan asumen la responsabilidad]On the night of the 22nd local time, US President Trump and Democratic presidential candidate Biden will have their final debate at Belmont University in Tennessee. Less than two weeks before Election Day, America’s “Capitol Hill” said that the duel between the two on the same stage could become a turning point in the campaign. To avoid missing out on this crucial occasion to win voters, the two sides have been arguing over the layout of the debate for the past two days. On the 19th, the Trump campaign “strongly requested” that foreign policy be one of the topics of debate. This was criticized by Biden for avoiding the ineffectiveness of the government in fighting the epidemic; that the Presidential Debate Commission avoid confusion in the first debate. The scene reappeared and a new mic mute feature was installed. Trump accused this of favoring Biden. The topic of the last debate was the new corona pneumonia epidemic. Can Trump say something to reflect on? It is difficult for American society to have such expectations. After all, he still criticized Fauci, the top American epidemiologist on the 19th, using glaring words like “disaster” and “idiot” to describe the “most hopeful person in the media” to defuse the chaos of the epidemic. expert. “This year, the enthusiasm of Americans to vote has been extremely high. More than 30 million voters completed early voting, representing 21% of total voters in 2016. Some scholars believe this reflects a certain I measure the depth of the tear in American politics. Is it the day the elections end that the torn wound heals? Hard to say now.
Trump wants to debate diplomatic issues
The last presidential debate is scheduled for the 22nd. The presenter is NBC White House reporter Christine Welk, who selected six major discussion topics, including the new epidemic of the crown and American families. , American race, climate change, national security and leadership.
Regarding the shaping of the issue, Trump’s campaign manager, Stepion, sent a letter to the Presidential Debate Committee on the 19th, “strongly requesting” adjustments, because “in keeping with long-term practice and previous commitments by the committee, we hoped that foreign policy would be the focus of the October 22 debate. ”In the letter, Stepion specifically mentioned the Trump administration’s diplomatic achievements in promoting the establishment of diplomatic relations between Israel and Bahrain. At the same time, he criticized Biden for “being anxious to avoid talking about his foreign policy record” and said “the committee favored Biden’s comical behavior. It has turned the entire debating season into a fiasco. “
“I will participate (in the debate), I just think it is unfair,” Trump told reporters at Air Force One on Monday. According to BBC reports, earlier in the day, Trump called host Welk a “radical Democrat” at the rally.
According to the US report “Capitol Hill” of 19, because of the “discontent” of the Trump camp, Biden’s campaign spokesman, Don Dock, responded that the two parties agreed to let the host choose the topic of the debate several months ago. The Trump team’s response is to avoid discussing the government’s “catastrophic response” to the new corona pneumonia epidemic. “As always, Trump is more concerned with the rules of the debate, rather than allowing countries in crisis to get help.” .
The presidential debate on the 22nd will last 90 minutes and the discussion time for each topic will be 15 minutes. In the first debate on September 29, Trump frequently interrupted the speeches of Biden and the host, and the scene was very chaotic. To avoid repeating the same mistakes, the Presidential Debate Committee announced on the 19th that a new “silent mode” was added; Before the free debates on various topics, two candidates have 2 minutes each to answer the host’s questions. When one side answers the questions, the other side The microphone will turn off. The new regulations once again caused discontent with the Trump team. Stepion said this is “unacceptable” and that “changing the rules will give the Presidential Debate Committee the power to control the debate, and it is clearly biased towards Biden.”
The Presidential Debate Committee appears to have anticipated such a response and, in its statement issued on the 19th, emphasized that the new regulations are “balanced” and “in the interest of the American people.”
As for whether the latest debate can go as scheduled, an analysis article on CNN on the 20th believes there is still uncertainty: Biden said last week that Trump should be tested for the new coronavirus on the day of the debate. If the result is not negative, then you will not attend; Furthermore, Trump is “the most unpredictable president of all time.” Even if the poll lag doesn’t give you reason to refuse to speak out in front of tens of millions of viewers, it can’t be ruled out. The possibility of leaving the debate at the last minute.
Fauci was called “disaster” causing an uproar
On the 19th, before heading to the key state of Arizona to participate in a campaign rally, Trump aggressively attacked Fauci, the top US epidemiologist, causing a stir in American public opinion. He called Fauci a “disaster” during a conference call with the campaign team and said: “If I had listened to your advice, the death toll would now be 500,000.” Later, it changed 500,000 to “70 10,000 or 800,000”. Trump ridiculed Fauci, a “good man” who has served as director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases for far too long, “has been doing this for 500 years.” Fauci has served in this position since 1984, serving 6 presidents.
Trump also said that Americans are tired of the new corona virus. “Everybody is saying, ‘Let’s just leave it alone.’ People don’t want to listen to Fauci and those idiots anymore.” According to a CNBC report, Trump gave a statement at this conference involving journalists on why Fauci was not fired: “If you fire him, it will be a bigger bomb.”
Some outlets believe Trump’s previous comments are an irate response to what Fauci said in an interview with CBS on the 18th. Fauci said at the time that he was “not at all surprised” that Trump was infected with the new crown because he saw on television that the president did not wear a mask to a packed rally.
“Don’t bring personal feelings to work.” According to the “Capitol Hill” report, Fauci used this line from the movie “The Godfather” on the 19th to respond to Trump’s attacks on him. He said responding to the epidemic is “the only thing that really matters to him.” On the same day, Fauci received the first “Presidential Medal for Outstanding Leadership” from the National Academy of Sciences.
In CNN’s opinion, Fauci is “the most promising expert in quelling the chaos of the epidemic.” Trump mocked him for dishonest political purposes. This reflects that the anti-epidemic decision of the United States government has to be the reelection of Trump. Yield. American public health expert William Haseltine described: “Trump’s words and deeds are tantamount to cursing the fire department when a burning house collapses.”
On the 20th, Trump denied having argued with Fauci in an interview with a Fox News program, only that “sometimes he was not a good partner.”
The New York Times stated that Trump attacked Fauci at a campaign rally to “boost morale.” However, some commentators said this move could give Biden a chance to confirm his inability to fight the epidemic. Biden issued a statement on the 19th, saying, “Mr. President, one thing you are right about is that the American people are tired of hearing you lie, tired of watching their compatriots die, tired of more people because of their inability to fight He lost his job. ”The New York Times stated that in addition to targeting Fauci, Trump has repeated his“ disparaging ”comments about the epidemic in the past two days. At a rally in Arizona on 19, he accused the media of exaggerating the severity of the new crown crisis and vowing to supporters that they would return the affected economy to pre-epidemic levels, saying the choice was “Trump Choose between” Super Recovery “and” Biden Depression. “
The great enthusiasm of Americans to vote reflects a deep political division
According to statistics from the “True Clear Politics” website, since the first presidential debate on September 29, Biden’s leading value in national polls increased from 6.1% to 8.9%; In Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Michigan, North Carolina, in the six key states of Florida and Arizona, Biden has higher approval ratings than Trump, with an average lead of 4.1%. However, the gap between the two has not changed significantly in the last three weeks. Biden is in all six key states. Trump’s average approval rating has never exceeded 50%, and Trump has risen and fallen to 45%. Other polls show Trump is closing the gap in approval ratings with Biden in Pennsylvania and Florida.
The American magazine “Forbes” described the 19 that Biden has an “overwhelming” advantage in terms of average national polls, in undecided states, he maintains a “limited advantage”. However, if a major event occurs, Trump still has a chance of victory. It’s worth noting that on October 18, 2016, Hillary’s lead in the national average poll was 7.1%, but it fell to 1.3% in the days leading up to Election Day. But the difference is that Biden’s leadership in changing states is more stable than Hillary’s.
According to Reuters, as of the 19th, 30.2 million Americans had voted early. On October 23, 2016, 16 days before the last election, only 5.9 million voters had voted early. The key state of Florida opened polling stations for voters on the 19th. According to reports from the US political website, at least 350,000 people voted that day, easily surpassing the number of 291,000 people who voted on the first day four years ago. The “Washington Post” said the heavy rains across Florida on the 19th are enough to show that Americans are “extraordinary” in this year’s vote. Mark Hesselington, a political scholar at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, believes that the high turnout rate reflects, to some extent, the intensity of people’s political mistrust and the depth of the political divide.
Can the hustle and bustle of US elections end with November 4, the day after Election Day? CNN envisioned three scenarios on the 19th: If Trump narrowly wins the election but falls far behind in the general election, leftist groups will inevitably have concerns about elite rule and regard the election as a product of political manipulation. ; if Biden won an overwhelming victory. Even if Trump is unwilling to “step down safely,” Republicans should accept defeat and refuse to let Trump play a “power game”; If the final votes are tied and Biden wins narrowly, the election can enter In overtime, Trump’s team can file a lawsuit accusing the Democrats of winning the election through “fraud,” and a tumult will start between the president and the country.
