If this New York Times investigation is to be believed, it really does paint a president in financial distress.

如果《紐約時報》的調查是可信的，那麼它確實描繪出了一個財政困難的總統。

And it's also just such a contrast to the image that Trump has really painted and sold to the American people of himself as a self made businessman, as this, you know, very successful billionaire.

而且它也只是這樣的對比 特朗普的形象真的畫 並出售給美國人民 他自己作為一個自制的商人， 作為這個，你知道，非常成功的億萬富翁。

And instead we see that instead, he's really struggled quite significantly and has really used his losses to his own gain in terms of getting out of taxes.

而我們卻看到，他反而真的有相當大的掙扎，真的用自己的虧損來獲得自己的利益，來擺脫稅收。

So, um, this really is a very different image that he's tried to paint in the past.

所以，嗯，這真的是一個非常不同的形象，他在過去試圖描繪。

So I suppose the question is, uh, if this is a different image that he has painted and if these taxes are accurate, does it actually dent his base or Dent?

所以我想問題是，呃，如果他描繪的這個形象不一樣了，如果這些稅收是準確的，那實際上是打消了他的底氣還是登特？

You know the people who are likely to vote for him in about four weeks time?

你知道哪些人可能會在四周內投他的票嗎？

And again, this is coming from The New York Times.

It's a source that Trump likes to frame as part of the liberal media that has an agenda against him and so we'll probably be hearing him use that kind of framing quite a bit in his response to this story.

這是一個特朗普喜歡將其誣陷為自由派媒體的一部分，這些媒體對他有不利的議程，所以我們可能會聽到他在迴應這個故事時使用了不少這樣的框架。

And that usually goes pretty far with his base as well, in terms of people seeing the president being a victim of this kind of which hunt from the media and not necessarily looking specifically at the details, whereas liberals and Democrats, of course, will be really doing the opposite and really trying to lean into the details of this story to see what has been going on over the past.

而這通常也會和他的基礎走得很遠，在人們看到總統是媒體的這種哪種獵奇的受害者，而不一定會具體看細節，而自由派和民主黨人，當然會真正的反其道而行之，真正的嘗試去靠這個故事的細節，看看過去發生了什麼。

You really, over the past decade, What for you are some of the key takeaways from this investigation.

你真的，在過去的十年裡，對你來說，什麼是一些關鍵的啟示，從這個調查。

It's important to underscore the investigation has been ongoing, I think, for four years by the Times.

重要的是要強調時代週刊的調查已經持續了四年，我想。

This is a very, very thorough investigation they've been doing and the takeaways coming out of it for some are confirming.

這是一個非常非常徹底的調查，他們一直在做，而且一些人出來的收穫也在證實。

I think what a lot of Ah lot of Trump's critics have thought from the start that I, in fact his finances were probably more questionable than he was letting on, which really just again goes align with Trump's general sense of of not always being honest with the American people.

我認為很多啊很多特朗普的批評者從一開始就認為我，其實他的財務狀況可能比他讓的更有問題，這真的只是再次去對齊特朗普的一般意義上的不總是對美國人民誠實。

So I think for me just that sense of underscoring again that since can Trump be trusted is a big question going into the campaign are going to the election.

所以我覺得對我來說只是這種意義上的再次強調，既然特朗普能不能被信任是一個很大的問題，進入競選都要參加選舉。

And, of course, just what what wrong doing actually was taking place?

當然，只是究竟發生了什麼錯事？

Was there, you know, improper write offs and are those things that the Democrats can take advantage of as we get closer to November?

有沒有，你知道的，不正當的註銷，這些東西是民主黨人可以利用的，因為我們越來越接近11月？

I suppose the other question is from this particular investigation, because, of course, we haven't seen the actual taxes.

我想另一個問題是來自這次特殊的調查，因為，當然，我們還沒有看到實際的稅收。

Is there anything there that's incriminating or perceived to be illegal you?

那裡有什麼罪證或被認為是非法的東西嗎？

So far, what we've seen today from the Times is Mawr showing again this, um, this very different image of Trump and also showing a lot of the tactics that he used to be able to use his losses to his own advantage with taxes.

到目前為止，我們今天從《時代週刊》看到的是毛爾再次展示了這個，嗯，這個非常不同的特朗普的形象，也展示了很多的策略，他用了很多的策略，能夠利用他的虧損來達到自己的稅收優勢。

So far, what we've seen from the reports are not making legal allegations.

到目前為止，我們從報道中看到的並不是進行法律指控。

But with that said, there are a number of suits early in process in the past, with Trump regarding his business empire, and this will probably pivot a lot more attention on those and potentially in current new ones to arise as well on.

但話雖如此，過去有一些訴訟早期的過程中，與特朗普關於他的商業帝國，這可能會中樞很多更多的關注這些，並有可能在當前的新的產生以及上。

We expect Mawr to be coming out in terms of details from the times in this investigative report over the next couple weeks.

我們預計在接下來的幾周內，莫爾將會在這份調查報告中從時代的細節方面出來。
