The Race For President Has Started

President Trump attempted to jumpstart his campaign in Tulsa, Oklahoma last Saturday with a political rally. In his almost two-hour long speech, he said we begin our campaign and the silent majority is stronger than ever before. The rally location was just a block away from a 1921 racial massacre. Most people who attended did not follow the rule of the CDC for wearing masks.

In his speech, Trump accused the media of favoring presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden and defended his handling of the pandemic.

Today, the White House faces many political issues including announcements about former National Security advisor John Bolton and Trump’s niece who have both published books that level personal attacks on the president’s reputation. These books will damage his election according to the latest polls. President Trump is already behind Joe Biden by 11 percent according to the recent count.

Today we are facing so many challenges in the world from the coronavirus pandemic to the disputes in many regions of the globe. As the leader of the world, this coming U.S. presidential election will decide our future.

                    總統爭奪戰正式展開

上週末川普總統在阿拉巴馬州吐桑市近萬人之集會上發表了一場近二個小時充滿激情冗長的總統競選演說，場內外更有熱情激動的支持和反對者在相互叫陣，這個會議中心距離一九二一年屠殺黑人商業社區事件之市區近在咫尺，大會也未遵從國家疾管中心之規定，熱情群衆都未戴口罩及社交距離，川普總統在開場白中宣稱，這是美國大多數人最團結壯大的時候。

這位剛過七十四歲生日的美國總統，他號召要美國重新強大，他極力辯護白宮對新冠病毒之防治工作 ，並指控自由派左傾媒體對他的攻擊及對民主黨總統候選人拜登之袒護 他更不忘記病毒是來自中國大陸造成世界及美國之難。

白宮後院目前也點燃了大火，川普前國安顧問波頓在其新書中述說川普之無能及不適任，不顧國家利益而只希望連仼，近日來雙方互相指責所用言語到了汙穢不堪之地步，包括川普之親姪女瑪利川普近日也將出書揭露她叔叔許多違法漏稅的內幕。

十一月大選已在逼近，根據叁大電視網之民調，川普已落後拜登十二個百分點，在共和黨佔優勢的佛羅裏達州及德州，也可能翻盤，對川普而言這是不可能接受的民意反應。

目前世界情勢一團溷亂，加上疫情繼續擴散十分令人擔憂，美國十一月份之大選，不止關系到我們國家之前途，更和全球未來息息相關。
