Sagging in the polls? Hurtling towards electoral oblivion? Canada’s Mark Carney, Australia’s Anthony Albanese and now Brazil’s Luis Inácio Lula da Silva have a fix for you. Get Donald Trump to launch a trade war on your country. Few things rally voters around the flag quicker than a superpower assault on your bottom line. Though the Vatican is no trading entity, America’s first pontiff, Robert Francis Prevost, might also credit Trump with his election. Trump and the late Pope Francis, Pope Leo XIV’s predecessor, were not mutual admirers.
民調下滑？面臨在選舉中一敗涂地的前景？加拿大的馬克?卡尼(Mark Carney)、澳大利亞的安東尼?阿爾巴尼斯(Anthony Albanese)，以及現在巴西的路易斯?伊納西奧?盧拉?達席爾瓦(Luis Inácio Lula da Silva)，都找到了解決辦法。讓唐納德?特朗普(Donald Trump)對你的國家發動貿易戰。沒有什么比一個超級大國對你的經濟發起攻擊更能迅速團結選民了。雖然梵蒂岡并非貿易實體，但第一位來自美國的教皇、原名羅伯特?方濟各?普雷沃斯特(Robert Francis Prevost)的良十四世(Pope Leo XIV)也許也要將他的當選歸功于特朗普。特朗普與良十四世的前任、已故的方濟各(Pope Francis)教皇并不互相仰慕。
