Jeffrey Goldberg: 特朗普拒绝与哈里斯进行第二次辩论,是因为他害怕被她击败,特别是被一位有色人种女性击败。他内心的恐惧和轻蔑交织在一起,让他无法面对这场辩论。 此外,特朗普对阵亡士兵的评价也反映了他的性格缺陷。他将阵亡士兵称为“懦夫和傻瓜”,这表明他缺乏对牺牲和服务的理解,也反映了他对美国价值观的漠视。他无法理解那些出于无私奉献而做出牺牲的人,因为他只关注个人利益和成功。 在与约翰·凯利的谈话中,特朗普对阵亡士兵的评价进一步暴露了他的无知和冷漠。他甚至不知道第一次世界大战和第二次世界大战中美国是哪一方,这表明他缺乏基本的常识和历史知识。 Tim Miller: 特朗普拒绝参加与哈里斯的第二次辩论,这体现了他的懦弱和害怕。特朗普的竞选团队最初的竞选策略是将拜登描绘成一个软弱无能的老人,但哈里斯的出现使得这一策略失效。特朗普可能会改变主意,再次参加辩论,因为他是一个反复无常的人。

Shownotes Transcript

The former president doesn't think our country is exceptional, and the political press won't hold him to any standard because it has zero expectations of him. Plus, Lindsey Graham is an empty shell, John Kelly was nearly driven mad working for Trump, and JD Vance can't stop spinning conspiracies. 

Jeffrey Goldberg joins Tim Miller for the weekend pod.
