特朗普还预测共和党将保持对国会的控制。周一晚,唐纳德·特朗普总统在深红的堪萨斯州登台,为寻求连任的参议员罗杰·马歇尔助选。马歇尔是一任现任议员,面临民主党挑战者亚当·汉密尔顿意外激烈的挑战。
Trump also predicted Republicans would maintain control of Congress. President Donald Trump took the stage in ruby-red Kansas on Monday night to campaign for Sen. Roger Marshall, a one-term incumbent facing a surprisingly close race against Democratic challenger Adam Hamilton.
距离选举日仅剩两周,参议院的权力平衡悬而未决。特朗普在堪萨斯州帕克城(位于威奇托以北约10英里)的集会上,对汉密尔顿发动了一系列人身攻击和毫无根据的指责。他还像近期针对其他候选人的集会那样,再次诉诸反穆斯林和反移民言论。
Trump unleashed a series of personal and baseless attacks against Hamilton at the rally in Park City, Kansas -- about 10 miles north of Wichita -- with just two weeks out from election day as the balance of power in the Senate hangs in the balance. And he also returned to anti-Muslim and anti-immigration rhetoric as he has in recent events to attack other candidates.
这场竞争引人关注,因为民主党若获胜,将终结堪萨斯州连续94年选出共和党参议员的纪录。
The contest has drawn attention because a Democratic victory could end Kansas’ 94-year streak of electing Republican senators.
特朗普将汉密尔顿——一位广受欢迎的牧师、全美最大联合卫理公会教会创始人——描绘成“坏人”和“耻辱”,指责他“装作温和派”。集会期间,特朗普总统遭遇五名抗议者在四起事件中打断;在其中一次打断后,他称赞“出色的执法人员”迅速将闯入者带离集会现场。
Trump portrayed Hamilton, a popular pastor and the founder of the largest United Methodist congregation in the United States, as a "bad person" and a "disgrace" who is “pretending to be a moderate.”During the rally, President Trump was interrupted by five protesters during four incidents and, after one of the interruptions, he remarked on the “great law enforcement” who swiftly escorted the interrupters out of the rally.
特朗普对堪萨斯州执法部门的赞扬,是在不久前传出消息之后:一名当地男子将面临联邦指控,涉嫌在特朗普威奇托集会前威胁枪击总统。
Trump’s remarks about the Kansas law enforcement came as news broke not long before that a local man will be facing a federal charge for allegedly threatening to shoot the president ahead of his Wichita rally.
特朗普在集会上再次反复使用反移民言论,抨击穆斯林人物,包括密歇根州参议员候选人阿卜杜勒·埃尔-赛义德和明尼苏达州众议员伊尔汗·奥马尔。他敦促人群投票给共和党,以维护美国的“传统”。“美国人民将挺身而出,宣示我们将捍卫我们的文化,保护我们的文明,维护我们的宗教、价值观和传统,我们绝不允许我们的国家被恨我们的人征服或摧毁,”特朗普说。
Trump also again repeatedly used anti-immigration rhetoric during the rally, directing criticism at Muslim figures including Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed and Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota. He urged the crowd to vote for Republicans to preserve the United States' “heritage.”“Americans are going to stand up and declare that we will defend our culture, we will protect our civilization, we will preserve our religion, our values, and our heritage, and we will never let our nation be conquered or destroyed by people that hate us,” Trump said.

与过去一样,特朗普再次将埃尔-赛义德(El-Sayed)称为“穆罕默德”,并说道:“我想我可以随便怎么称呼他都行。”
As he has in the past, Trump referred to El-Sayed as “Mohammed,” saying, “I can call him whatever the hell I want.”"I think we all well know why they're doing it.
“我想我们都很清楚他们这么做的原因,”埃尔-赛义德对美国广播公司(ABC)的林赛·戴维斯(Linsey Davis)说,“我的名字是阿卜杜勒(Abdul),我是一名穆斯林。这就是为什么我经常成为特朗普和共和党人的攻击目标。我的名字以及我的信仰,并不是人们买不起汽油、买不起食品杂货、或者看不起医生的原因。所以他们试图转移人们的注意力——因为这就是他们唯一的手段。”
My name is Abdul. I'm Muslim," El-Sayed told ABC's Linsey Davis, addressing why he's a frequent target of Trump and Republicans. "My name and my faith are not the reason people can't afford their gas, not the reason people can't afford their groceries, not the reason people can't see a doctor.
特朗普还批评了奥马尔(Omar),并提到了同样身为穆斯林的密歇根州众议员拉希达·特莱布(Rashida Tlaib)。
And so they're going to try to distract, because that's all they have." Trump also criticized Omar and referenced Michigan Rep. Rashida Tlaib, who is also Muslim.

特朗普声称,罗杰·马歇尔(Roger Marshall)会坚决反对那些他所谓的“来自第三世界的敌对移民”、“圣战分子”以及“共产主义者”等群体。
Trump argued that Marshall would fight against what he called “hostile third-world migrants,” “jihadists” and “communists,” among other groups.
“民主党是反西方的马克思主义者以及那些来自第三世界的敌对移民的政党,”特朗普说,“罗杰·马歇尔以及堪萨斯州的人民绝不会允许他们掠夺我们国家的财富,也不会允许他们毁掉我们的祖先用汗水、鲜血和智慧建立的一切。”
“Democrats are the party of anti-Western Marxist and hostile third-world migrants. And Senator Roger Marshall and the great people of Kansas will not let them plunder our nation's wealth or demolish what our ancestors built with their own sweat, blood, tears, and skill,” Trump said.
针对《纽约时报》最近的一篇报道(该报道指出马歇尔作为一名妇产科医生曾起诉了700多名未支付医疗费用的患者),特朗普为马歇尔辩护,试图为马歇尔“澄清事实”。
Trump defended Marshall against some of Hamilton’s attacks on the Republican, attempting to “set the record straight” for Marshall in light of a recent New York Times report that as an OB/GYN, Marshall filed lawsuits against more than 700 patients who hadn't paid their medical bills.
该报道还提到,马歇尔的律师曾申请对至少81名未出庭的患者发出逮捕令;不过马歇尔本人否认了这一指控。
The outlet also reported that Marshall's lawyers sought arrest warrants for at least 81 patients who missed their court dates. Marshall has denied this report.
“马歇尔确实是个强硬的人,但他同时也非常优秀,他只是因为法律要求他必须向患者追讨欠款而受到了不公平的指责,”特朗普说。特朗普还使用带有反犹太主义色彩的言辞为马歇尔辩护。
“[Marshall is] one of the, he's a tough guy and all, but he's also high quality, and he's a fine person, and he was given a bum rap because he was mandated by law to request strongly money owed from patients,” Trump said. Trump claimed Marshall did not break this “criminal” law which makes you “go after” patients, and used an antisemitic slur to defend the candidate.
“你们在那些事情上被坑了,”特朗普指着马歇尔说道,“所以我只是想把事实说清楚:这种事不应该发生在任何一个好人身上。”15天后,我们将再次选举罗杰·马歇尔——他是最杰出的人物之一;同时,我们也将彻底击败那些共产主义者、圣战分子以及那些腐败的、反美的疯子。我们必须让他们付出代价。
“You got screwed with that stuff,” Trump said, motioning to Marshall. “So I just want to set the record straight. That should not happen to a good person." In 15 days, we're going to re-elect Roger Marshall, one of the greatest… and we're going to defeat the communists, the jihadists, and the corrupt anti-American lunatics once and for all. We're going to put them back. We got to set them back.

特朗普还预测共和党将在中期选举中继续控制国会,并对各种民意调查嗤之以鼻。他以自己在2016年总统选举中的胜利为例:当时民意调查预测他会落败,但事实证明他赢了。
Got to hit them hard,” Trump said. Trump also predicted Republicans would maintain control of Congress in the midterms, dismissing national polls by pointing to his 2016 presidential victory, when polls had projected he would lose.
“你们知道吗?2016年我获胜的时候,那些民意调查机构都说‘他根本没有机会’,他们认为希拉里会赢,民主党会获胜。因为他们觉得民主党人都是不诚实的人……但那些民意调查机构其实更不可靠,”特朗普说。“结果证明我才是对的。”
“You know, when I won in 2016, they were saying, "Oh, he doesn't have a chance. ... They said Hillary is going to win. The Democrats are going to win because you know why? Those are crooked people.
汉密尔顿的竞选团队在一份声明中表示:“罗杰·马歇尔的竞选活动正在陷入困境,华盛顿方面也陷入了恐慌。他们正在派遣更多人去撒谎、攻击亚当·汉密尔顿,试图挽救马歇尔的处境。”该声明由ABC新闻于周二获得。汉密尔顿的竞选发言人泰森·布罗迪说:“但在那场集会上所说的一切,都无法改变一个事实:堪萨斯州的民众正深受不断上涨的汽油和柴油价格的影响,难以获得负担得起的医疗服务,他们对华盛顿的腐败现象感到无比愤怒。他们需要的是一位真正能为他们发声的参议员,而不是那些只关心华盛顿利益的政客。”
But the pollsters are worse,” Trump said. “Well, it turned out I was right.”Hamilton's campaign said that Marshall and Trump were distracting from the real issues. "Roger Marshall’s campaign is sinking, and Washington is panicking. They’re sending in reinforcements to lie and attack Adam Hamilton to try to save Marshall," Tyson Brody, a campaign spokesperson for Hamilton, said in a statement obtained by ABC News Tuesday. "But nothing said at the rally can distract from the fact Kansans are being crushed by rising gas and diesel prices, struggling to access affordable healthcare, and are tired of Washington corruption. Kansans are looking for a senator who will be a champion for us, not Washington."
