Who is the anti-Trump? The human opposite of him? Robert Mueller, who once investigated the US president, had a strong claim. He spent the great bulk of his career in unremunerative public life. He joined the Marines because a friend died in the corps, not despite that fact. In obituaries since his own death last month, the word “integrity” recurs. Donald Trump instead went with: “Good, I’m glad he’s dead.” Perhaps this wasn’t just personal animus talking but also total mystification at the values of someone like Mueller.
谁是特朗普的反面，也就是与他完全相反的人？曾经调查过这位美国总统的罗伯特•穆勒(Robert Mueller)生前是一个很好的候选人。他把自己的大部分职业生涯投入报酬微薄的公职。他的一位朋友在海军陆战队当兵时牺牲，这是他年轻时加入海军陆战队的原因，而不是阻碍因素。在他3月去世后的讣告中，“正直”一词反复出现。而唐纳德•特朗普(Donald Trump)则说：“好事，我很高兴他死了。”也许这不仅仅是个人恩怨在作祟，还有一个原因是他完全无法理解穆勒这样的人的价值观。
