It can't.

它不能。

It just can't be judged from this vantage point, but it should be judged.

It's kind of late in the day, I guess, to be, you know, deep diving on this because some will be concerned that for four years the key institutions of America have bean scared of upsetting a fragile president.

我想現在深究這個問題有點晚了 因為有些人會擔心四年來美國的主要機構都害怕打亂一個脆弱的總統。

There's a reason the American people associate the red hats with something racist and that they should be fearful of.

如果我們逮捕毒販子的時候要講究外表的公平性 那你為什麼不把外表的公平性也擴大化呢？ 我知道我這麼說很奇怪，因為我的職業 而且這傢伙在過去四年裡一直說我應該坐牢

我想他們會說這是美國機構最大的壓力測試，可能是美國內戰以來，他們把持了司法機構把持了國會，把持了媒體把持了民間社會把持了唐納德-特朗普沒能把他們折騰到崩潰。
