美国总统唐纳德·特朗普近日在社交媒体平台 Truth Social 上发布了一篇长达 1300 字的帖子，猛烈抨击深夜脱口秀主持人比尔·马赫，称其为“彻底失败者”（TOTAL LOSER）和“懦夫”（coward）。1 此次攻击发生在距离美国中期选举仅约一周之际。1
冲突的直接起因是马赫在其节目《Real Time with Bill Maher》中采访了白宫前新闻秘书卡洛琳·莱维特（Karoline Leavitt），双方讨论了特朗普可能沦为“跛脚鸭”总统以及若共和党在中期选举失利后可能出现的“复仇”倾向。1 针对这一言论，特朗普威胁要让共和党停止保护马赫，并批评其节目收视率低迷以及 HBO 频道的质量下降。1 此外，特朗普还回顾了两人此前的私人交往细节，指责马赫在与他共进晚餐时饮酒过量，并给其贴上“POTHEAD”的标签。1
这次事件并非孤立现象，而是特朗普针对媒体评论员持续施压的一部分。1 此前，特朗普曾要求停播吉米·坎摩尔（Jimmy Kimmel）的节目，并在去年呼吁解雇塞斯·迈耶斯（Seth Meyers）。1
Donald Trump unleashed a scathing 1,300-word tirade on the social media platform Truth Social, labeling late-night host Bill Maher as a “TOTAL LOSER” and a “coward.” 1 The attack was triggered by an episode of Real Time with Bill Maher featuring an interview with former White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, during which discussions included the potential for a “lame duck” presidency for Trump and the possibility of political “vengeance” if Republicans were to suffer defeats in the upcoming midterm elections. 1 As part of his online assault, Trump threatened that the Republican Party would no longer offer protection to Maher and criticized both the declining viewership of Maher’s show and the perceived drop in quality at HBO. 1
The timing of this verbal offensive coincides with just one week remaining before the US midterm elections, a period marked by polls indicating growing public dissatisfaction with Trump’s handling of the economy, cost-of-living issues, and the war in Iran. 1 This incident is not isolated; it follows similar actions taken by Trump earlier this year when he demanded the cancellation of Jimmy Kimmel’s program, and last year when he called for Seth Meyers to be fired. 1 Adding a layer of personal grievance to the professional criticism, Trump alleged that Maher had consumed excessive alcohol during a previous dinner they shared, subsequently branding him with the derogatory term “POTHEAD.” 1
