随着美国大选日益临近，美国总统特朗普又开始操弄起了“中国话题”。

据CNN报道，特朗普本周二接受保守派电台主持人Hugh Hewitt采访时，特别用了第三人称的说法谈论起自己，“如果这次选举唐纳德·特朗普输了，中国将拥有美国。如果我没有赢得选举，中国将拥有美国。你们会不得不学习讲中文……”

"China will own the United States if this election is lost by Donald Trump," Trump, referring to himself in the third person, told conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt. "If I don't win the election, China will own the United States. You're going to have to learn to speak Chinese……"

只不过谈到“说中文”这件事，网友们纷纷表示：那你家里人可是有会说中文的哦，比如你的小孙女。

特朗普的此番言论一出，也引来了国外一众网友的嘲讽↓

“不惊讶，很多美国学校实际上都开设了中文课程作为国际语言选项之一，所以……特朗普现在是到处乱喷”

“如果特朗普赢了，全世界就更疯狂了”

“好吧，如果这意味着能摆脱你，我还是乐意学一门新语言的。”

“我还是乐意去学中文的”

据CNN报道，特朗普的这番话是他和拜登之争的最新升级，谁的言论听起来对中国更强硬，竟然成为当前美国大选的中心议题。

His remark was the latest escalation in a contest with former Vice President Joe Biden over who can sound toughest on China, a battle that has become a central facet of the presidential campaign.

这番言论也很快引起了外媒注意

福布斯网站：“你们会不得不学习讲中文”：特朗普警告，如果拜登胜选，（美国）会被外国敌对势力接管

福布斯的报道在开篇写道，本周，特朗普和拜登之间关于外交政策的口水战升级，特朗普夸张地预测了拜登胜选后中国会接管美国的情景。

President Trump ratcheted up his war of words with former Vice President Joe Biden on foreign policy this week, hyperbolically predicting a post-election world in which a Biden victory leads to Chinese……takeover of the United States.

《赫芬顿邮报》网站则指出，疫情暴发后，妖魔化中国成为特朗普连任竞选的中心策略。他和幕僚们试图通过指责中国要为全球疫情负责，来转移民众对白宫的注意力。

Demonising China has been central to Trump’s reelection campaign ever since the coronavirus pandemic took hold. The president and his allies have attempted to shift attention away from the White House’s actions by blaming China for the global pandemic.

近来，特朗普不断操弄“中国话题”以博得关注。

《商业内幕》网站的报道指出，当地时间本周一，特朗普呼吁美国民众不要将疫情政治化，然而随后他便再次指责中国需要为疫情负责。特朗普在当天的发布会上先是称因中国的所作所为而感到沮丧，并再次放出阴谋论调，毫无证据地暗示是中国将病毒“释放到”美国。

On Monday, Trump urged Americans to "stop politicizing" COVID-19 moments before once again blaming China for the pandemic. "We are upset with China because of what they did," Trump said, before taking a conspiratorial tone and suggesting, without evidence, that China "released" the virus into the US.

此前，特朗普还不断用“Kungflu（功夫流感）”和“China Plague（中国瘟疫）”等字眼抹黑中国。但是天天把China挂在嘴边，特朗普可能没想到自己名字会和“中国制造”一起成为推特热搜。
