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?
唐纳德•特朗普(Donald Trump)再次上台对美国和世界意味着什么?乐观主义者可能会参照上次的情况:他们可能会断言,他的上一个总统任期充满喧哗与骚动。但参照上次的情况没什么意义。他上次的执政算是传统的,比许多人担心的情况要好。而且,他最后败给乔•拜登(Joe Biden),离开了白宫。的确,他走得很没有风度。但你还能指望他怎样呢?他总归是走了。为什么说如果他赢得第二个任期(民意调查显示这是可能的),情况会不一样?
