Opinion | Trump Has Failed as Commander in Chief - The New York Times
其中说到“Trader in chief”：
President Trump has another moniker suggesting his ethical challenges: “trader in chief,” as The Associated Press recently proposed. Why? Because “recent presidents have stayed away from trading stocks in companies whose fortunes they could lift or scuttle with the stroke of a pen, but Donald Trump smashed that precedent in the first quarter of this year with more than 3,600 buy and sell orders,” The A.P. wrote, “many of them involving companies whose profits have been directly impacted by his decisions as head of the government.”
That was an average of 50 trades a day in stocks that included U.S. military suppliers affected by the Iran war. “If he were defense secretary, he would be committing a crime,” Richard Painter, the chief White House ethics adviser in the George W. Bush administration, told The A.P. “Technically he can do this, but it is a fundamental breach of trust.”
每天50笔，*_*！希望总统做股票别太“伊战”水平，多挣些，万一哪天热情爱好者上门求助，*_*。那笔18亿的“Slush Fund”没戏了。因为需要国会批，如此明目张胆的“作弊基金”，他们批了，日后总统会说，“I don’t know how it came, they approved it, I had to use it as they approved it.”那些共和党参议员们总算为自己的利益“硬气”了一次，把那个作弊基金给毙了。“17个月目睹之怪现象”，痛苦之后出文学，美国下十年的可读之书有保障了。唉，^_^。
古纸兄周三开心。
