半夜3点给国安智囊打电话,特朗普竟问这个问题

  据《赫芬顿邮报》报道,据白宫外泄的国安顾问迈克·弗林的一份记录报告显示,特朗普最近有一天在半夜3点打电话给他,询问他到底是强美元对美国经济有利还是弱美元更有利。弗林很老实地回答说不知道,这并非其专业领域,应该去问经济学家。目前,白宫和弗林办公室均未回应并确认该事件的有关细节。

  众所周知,弗林是情报界老手,但是在经济学领域却是门外汉。关于美元问题,特朗普不向自己的经济顾问团队咨询,却去询问他的国安智囊,这是唱的哪一出?

  问政不专业?亲信圈狭窄?

  曾在小布什政府担任国务院官员的艾略特·科恩说,“我在华盛顿待了26年,从没见过这样的事。我真的不认为这是一个心智健全的总统。”

  在《大西洋月刊》看来,总统的凌晨3点电话是一个典型隐喻,象征着总统处理危机的能力。但是在特朗普这件事情上,却似乎揭开了一个显而易见的事实。《大西洋月刊》认为,这一事件之所以引起外界关切主要有两点原因。

  第一,总统问政的不专业、没有针对性令人担忧。总统不可避免地要在一些他并不擅长的领域诸如国内、全球事务上做出决策。这也是总统要组建内阁班子,挑选专家级顾问团队,以便随时可咨询建议的原因所在。只是,给一个安全问题专家打电话,问的却是关于宏观经济学理论的问题,这好比在苹果手机之间玩游戏,每个顾问可以和任何问题随机配对。尽管宏观经济学理论和国家安全并非毫无关联,但是一想到一个毫无从政经验的房地产大亨在咨询贸易问题上却没问对人,这无论如何都会让人感到忧虑。

  第二,特朗普的亲信圈极端狭窄。关于难民和移民的行政令其实是一项类似臭鼬工厂(skunkworks)的运作(注:“臭鼬工厂”原本是洛克希德·马丁公司高级开发项目的绰号,喻指用非常规方式秘密开发某个项目),据说决策团队甚至都不包含总统。向国安顾问“求教”经济意见,反映了特朗普的身边没有太多可信任的人,而他也羞于向外人询问政策建议。政府信息外泄某种程度可服务于公共利益,但缺点是,它将总统推入尴尬境地,这可能导致总统进一步收缩他的亲信圈子,只向一小撮顾问开放。而这些顾问根本不是政策上的行家里手,他们获得总统信任无非基于他们能保守秘密的信誉,以及善于揣摩总统喜怒情绪的那份谨小慎微。比自大、无知更可怕的是,在自大无知的情况下却还耻于下问。

  《大西洋月刊》认为,不管泄密事件是真是假,但已经透露出蛛丝马迹,即特朗普的问政模式已然显现,那就是他在一些治国议题上只“求教”于自己的外行“死忠”。比如,白宫首席战略顾问班农已被安排进入国家安全委员会参加重要会议,这意味着国家情报机构与政治相隔离的传统被打破。最新泄密事件只会让白宫变得更偏执,特朗普未来可能只会向自己最信任的人咨询建议。

  外界对白宫泄密看法不一

  不过,《赫芬顿邮报》认为,白宫泄密事件时有发生,向国安智囊问经济问题可能与特朗普的个性有关,倒未必一定说明其治理能力不足。邮报列举了特朗普的一些独特癖好以兹佐证。

  报道称,一名匿名的白宫助理透露,特朗普不喜欢阅读太长的总统简报,最好不要超过一页。而且简报必须有要点,但是每页不能超过9个。

  一些小事情也足以给这位新总统带来极大乐趣或强烈刺激。特朗普曾告诉 《纽约时报》,他对白宫的电话系统很着迷。他还注册投诉“空军一号”的擦手巾。据白宫助手说,因为他嫌这些擦手巾不够柔软。

  特朗普还特别痴迷于欣赏其助手在电视上的表现。前几任总统不会花时间看自己发言人的记者会,但是特朗普却把这事列为自己工作日程的一部分。每周都会“串烧”特朗普政府的《周六夜现场》也是他的必看节目。在看这档节目时,他的反应会从一脸不快转变到热血沸腾。

  对于这起泄密事件,外界也看法不一。《赫芬顿邮报》称,奥巴马政府时期国务院伊朗制裁问题专家理查德·尼普尔表示,一些政府机构的泄密事件可能是试图让公众知道,当政府作出错误决策时,下属人员曾做过努力,给出意见,但并未被采纳,他们已经尽力而为。共和党全国委员会委员兰迪·埃文斯表示,他并未察觉特朗普的工作人员对于总统的工作适应能力有所质疑。但他认为,白宫必须认真对待有害信息的泄露问题。

  但是,科恩却认为,问题不在于泄密事件本身,而是出在总统身上。特朗普迄今都没对直系亲属以外的任何人表现出真正的喜爱或尊重,他对自己的工作人员不抱期望。

President Donald Trump

President Donald Trump called National Security Advisor Mike Flynn at 3 a.m. to ask about the economic impact of a strong US dollar, according to a report from the Huffington Post.

HuffPo’s SV Date and Christina Wilke, citing sources with knowledge of the conversation, reported that Trump asked Flynn if the strong dollar was good or bad for the US economy during the early morning phone call. According to the sources, Flynn said he was not sure and that Trump should ask an economist instead.

The Huffington Post said neither Flynn’s office nor the White House responded to their request for confirmation of the call. The White House did not immediately return a request for comment from Business Insider.

Trump and his team have generally said that the stronger dollar, which strengthened significantly against other major currencies after the election but has since given back some of its gains, has been a negative for the US economy.

In an interview with the Wall Street Journal, Trump said that the strong dollar is “killing us.”

“Our companies can’t compete with [Chinese companies] now because our currency is too strong. And it’s killing us,” Trump told the Journal.

Additionally, Trump’s Treasury secretary pick, Steven Mnuchin, said in written responses that while the stronger dollar is generally good for the US because it represents “faith that investors have in doing business in America,” but that the current strength of the dollar could have “negative short-term implications on the economy.”

Recently, Trump’s team has attacked China and Germany for what they believe are improper tactics to devalue their currencies against the dollar.

Generally, a strong dollar is good for American consumers because it makes it cheaper for people to buy foreign made products, it can also hurt US-based producers that export their goods since those goods become more expensive in other countries.

The US dollar index is little changed on Wednesday, higher by 0.3% at 100.50.
