President Donald Trump insisted Wednesday morning that the world's two most vibrant economies aren't trading potentially lethal financial blows in what could become a protracted trade war.

美国总统唐纳德•特朗普周三上午坚称，世界上两个最具活力的经济体不会在旷日持久的贸易战中遭遇致命的金融打击。

'We are not in a trade war with China, that war was lost many years ago by the foolish, or incompetent, people who represented the U.S.,' he tweeted in the morning.

他早上在twitter上写道：“我们不是在与进行贸易战，贸易战在多年前就已经被那些代表美国的愚蠢或不称职的人打输了。”

'Now we have a Trade Deficit of $500 Billion a year, with Intellectual Property Theft of another $300 Billion. We cannot let this continue!'

“现在，我们的贸易赤字每年高达5000亿美元，而知识产权剽窃也让我们损失了3000亿美元。我们不能让这种情况继续下去!”

He added two hours later in another tweet: 'When you’re already $500 Billion DOWN, you can’t lose!'

两小时后，他又在推特上写道：“当你已经损失了5000亿美元，你不能再输了!”

Has anyone checked his deficit numbers...don't forget he made them up and was incorrect when talking with Canada PM Trudeau. Trump is a loose canon.

有没有人检查过他的赤字数据吗？别忘了他可是会编造的，他跟加拿大总理特鲁多会谈的时候说的就是错的。特朗普都是信口开河的。

If the U.S. does not man up, China will always take unfair trade policies for granted.

如果美国再不表现得男子汉气概一点，就会一直把不公平的贸易政策看做理所当然的事儿。

I agree with @welike2moveitmoveit, the US government provide massive subsidies to US farmers. Australian and New Zealand farmers have almost ZERO subsidies.

我同意 @welike2moveitmoveit的说法，美国政府向美国农民提供了大量补助。澳大利亚和新西兰的农民可是几乎没有补助的。

I think Trump said this well: "We are not in a trade war with China, that war was lost many years ago by the foolish, or incompetent, people who represented the U.S."

我认为特朗普说的挺好的：“我们不是在与进行贸易战，贸易战在多年前就已经被那些代表美国的愚蠢或不称职的人打输了。”

There's just no stop the roaring Trump economy - America got incredibly lucky in November 2016!

没人能阻止特朗普经济的怒吼，美国在2016年11月真是走大运了。

No. They didn't. And that stockmarket uptick is not of Trump's doing. He took credit for steady economy not his own. No president in history has done,in less than 19 months, all he claims to have done. I'm not saying he's not affecting the stock market, just that he cannot own what he didn't do. Having said that, I wish he'd stop with the seesawing. My stock changes hour ro hour.

不不，他们可不走运。股市的上涨也不是特朗普的功劳。他把经济稳定的功劳占为己有了。历史上没有任何一位总统能在不到19个月内做到他宣称已经实现的事情。我不是说他对股市毫无功劳，但是他没做过的事，绝对不该邀功。既然说了，我希望他不要再玩跷跷板游戏了。我的股票可是一直在波动。
