If America’s political system were working as it should, Donald Trump would be in serious trouble. Either Congress would be taking steps that could ultimately lead to impeachment, or people around the president would have concluded him unfit for office. But Mr Trump retains an ace up his sleeve. No elected Republican dares cross him. Any who think of standing up to him know they would risk an electronic lynching that could finish their career. Just ask Jeb Bush.
如果美国的政治体制还在正常运转的话,唐纳德•特朗普(Donald Trump)就有大麻烦了。要么国会将采取措施,最终甚至可能发起弹劾,要么身边的人断定他不适合担任总统。但特朗普还留有一步制胜绝招。那些经过选举的共和党人谁也没胆公开反对他。任何有意站起来反对他的人都知道,他们将冒着遭受“网络私刑”的风险,最终可能葬送自己的仕途。问问杰布•布什(Jeb Bush)就知道了。
