美國總統川普13日在白宮接受一名印度記者提問時,抱怨對方「口音太重」、「我一個字也聽不懂」,直接打斷對方、跳過提問,影片在網絡上瘋傳,引發撻伐,不過也有許多川粉認為他很誠實。
綜合新德里電視台(NDTV)、印度斯坦時報(Hindustan Times)等報導,川普13日在白宮接待來訪的印度總理莫迪(Narendra Modi),雙方舉行共同記者會,記者會上川普接受一名印度記者提問,該名記者用英文表示,印度人會「歡迎」美國將2008年協助恐怖分子犯下孟買連環恐攻事件的巴基斯坦裔加拿大人拉納(Tahawwur Hussain Rana)引渡至印度,這起恐攻事件釀成166人死亡、數百人受傷。

「I can’t understand a word he’s saying.」
「It’s the accent. It’s a little bit tough for me.」

不過該名記者話才說到一半就遭川普打斷:「你要講大聲一點。」

這名記者隨即又重複一次提問,不過馬上又遭川普打斷:「他說的話我一個字也聽不懂,是口音問題,對我來說有點難。」
川普接著跳過這名印度記者,轉而接受下一名記者提問。
川普抱怨印度記者口音的情形受到印度媒體報導,網絡上也瘋傳這段影片,引發印度網友炮轟川普「不放棄任何羞辱印度的機會」、「蔑視」印度,也有印度民眾表示,川普藉由侮辱印度記者來逃避提問。
#Trump drubs an Indian reporter and his accent / communicate style..

He isn't letting go of any opportunity to humiliate India and
Indians this time round!
The Modi govt and the Sanghi eco system are national disgrace.. pic.twitter.com/W05P3EzW62
Trump showed his contempt towards an Indian journalist, infront of Modi, who was asking him questions because he couldn't understand his accent. His english was absolutley fine. Will @RubikaLiyaquat @IMinakshiJoshi & @SushantBSinha speak out against this? Don't think so. pic.twitter.com/1OGnihceFb

不過許多美國人及川粉認為川普講話雖然殘忍但「很誠實」,有人回應「工作上經常有這種感覺」,或是申請「技術支援」時,也都有同樣感受。
事實上這並非川普頭一次公開抱怨外國記者口音,2月初以色列總理尼坦雅胡(Benjamin Netanyahu)訪問白宮、與川普召開記者會時,川普也打斷一名阿富汗記者有關塔利班的提問,「你的聲音很美妙、口音很美,唯一的問題是,我聽不懂你說的任何字」。
Notice that even if Trump can't understand someone, he'll tell them if he thinks they have a "beautiful" accent.

Not only could he not understand the Indian accent, he did not find it beautiful.
