Remember when Donald Trump said, “I alone can fix it?” It turns out he will need help. Here is the good news. Mr Trump’s advisers are distancing the president-elect from some of his most outlandish promises — making Mexico pay for the border wall, for example. The reason: Mr Trump’s team is already dominated by the special interests whose same grip he promised to end. Having vowed a hostile takeover, the populist outsider is surrounding himself with insiders. Washington is rolling out the red carpet for Mr Trump. There is not a pitchfork in sight.
还记得唐纳德•特朗普(Donald Trump)曾说过“我一个人就能搞定”吗？事实证明，他也需要帮助。现在有了好消息。特朗普的顾问们正在让这位候任总统远离他最荒诞的一些承诺——例如，让墨西哥为修建边境隔离墙负担费用。原因是特朗普的团队已经被特殊利益集团把持，而后者对政治的主宰正是他承诺要终结的。这位曾发誓进行敌意接管的、信奉民粹主义的局外人周围已全是局内人。华盛顿正在为特朗普展开红地毯。没人举着干草叉等他。
