【中国观察2021年10月30日讯】
唐纳德-川普总统10月30日周六出席在亚特兰大举行的世界系列赛第四场比赛，休斯顿太空人队和亚特兰大勇士队将为2021年专员奖杯的荣誉而对决。
"期待今晚参加在亚特兰大举行的世界大赛，"川普在一份新声明中宣布。"感谢棒球专员罗伯-曼弗雷德，以及伟大的纽约扬基队的兰迪-莱文的邀请。梅拉尼娅和我期待着一个观看两支伟大球队的美妙夜晚！"
今年4月，川普曾抨击美国职业棒球大联盟（MLB）走 "醒目 "路线，以回应该联盟因反对佐治亚州新的投票诚信法而决定将全明星赛和选秀大会从亚特兰大移出。这项法律只要求在申请选票时提供带照片的身份证，被民主党人和反对选举完整性的人称为 "种族主义者"，尽管没有真正的证据支持这一说法。
川普在4月的声明中向MLB开火。
"棒球已经失去了大量的球迷，现在他们带着全明星赛离开了亚特兰大，因为他们害怕激进左翼的民主党人，他们不想让急需的选民身份证与我们的选举有任何关系。抵制棒球和所有干扰自由和公平选举的公司。你在听吗？"可口可乐、达美航空和所有的公司。
也许是一个有趣的命运转折，由于勇士队参加了冠军赛，世界大赛将MLB带回了亚特兰大。川普决定出席第四场比赛是出乎意料的，因为第45任总统在过去一年中大大限制了他的公开露面，除了独家采访和在集会上发言之外。
在过去的几个月里，全国各地的体育比赛和活动都爆发了球迷高呼 "F*** Joe Biden！"以及更温和的对应词 "Let's Go Brandon！"，以回应全国范围内对现任总司令的厌恶，因为通货膨胀过高，阿富汗撤军失败，南部边界不安全，以及供应链危机。事实上，"Let's Go Brandon "已经成为一种流行的、全国性的体育赛事口号，说唱歌手布赖森-格雷(Bryson Gray)以该口号的音乐版本在iTunes排行榜上排名第一--尽管被YouTube和Instagram禁止和审查。
鉴于川普今晚出席世界大赛，"布兰登加油 "的趋势是否会继续是一大看点。无论如何，川普的支持者无疑会对今晚在比赛中看到第45任总统和第一夫人感到无比兴奋。
President Trump to attend Game 4 of the World Series in Atlanta

President Donald Trump will be attending Game 4 of the World Series in Atlanta, Ga. on Saturday as the Houston Astros and the Atlanta Braves face off for the honor of winning the Commissioner’s Trophy in 2021.
“Looking forward to being at the World Series in Atlanta tonight,” Trump announced in a new statement. “Thank you to the Commissioner of Baseball Rob Manfred, and Randy Levine of the great New York Yankees, for the invite. Melania and I are looking forward to a wonderful evening watching two great teams!”
In April, Trump previously slammed Major League Baseball (MLB) for going “woke” in response to the league’s decision to move the All-Star Game and the Draft from Atlanta because of their opposition to new voting integrity laws in Georgia. The law, which simply requires photo ID to apply for a ballot, has been labeled by Democrats and opponents of election integrity as “racist,” despite no real evidence to support this claim.
Trump fired off at MLB in his April statement:
“Baseball is already losing tremendous numbers of fans, and now they leave Atlanta with their All-Star Game because they are afraid of the Radical Left Democrats who do not want voter I.D., which is desperately needed, to have anything to with our elections. Boycott baseball and all of the woke companies that are interfering with Free and Fair Elections. Are you listening Coke, Delta, and all!”
In what is perhaps an amusing twist of fate, the World Series has brought the MLB back to Atlanta, thanks to the Braves’ playing in the championship. Trump’s decision to attend Game 4 is unexpected as the 45th president has limited his public appearances considerably over the past year, outside of exclusive interviews and speaking at rallies.
Over the past few months, sporting games and events across the nation have erupted with fans chanting “F*** Joe Biden!” and its more modest counterpart, “Let’s Go Brandon!” in response to a seemingly nationwide distaste for the current Commander in Chief, due to hyper-inflation, a botched Afghanistan withdrawal, an unsecured southern border, and a supply-chain crisis. In fact, “Let’s Go Brandon” has become such a popular, national sporting event chant that rapper Bryson Gray reached #1 on the iTunes charts with a musical version of the chant – despite being banned and censored by YouTube and Instagram.
In light of Trump’s anticipated appearance tonight at the World Series, it remains to be seen if the “Let’s Go Brandon” trend will continue. Regardless, Trump supporters will undoubtedly be excited to see the 45th president and the First Lady tonight at the game.
