林德宜：谁会出席特朗普就职礼？

父亲邀请中国国家主席习近平出席他的就职典礼。我们想要的只是世界和平。2024年12月12日上午12:53
巴伦特朗普，X帐户

特朗普的儿子巴伦在他的X帐户上删除了这篇帖子，引发了大量报道，审视这一史无前例的邀请，并关注其回应。

作为背景，须了解的是，根据美国国务院的记录，至今尚未有任何一位外国领导人参加过美国总统就职典礼。

此外，流传出的特郎普政府官员对就职邀请名单上的谈话，也使得此事件成为媒体报道的头条新闻，并增添了不少悬念。

由于显而易见的原因，涉及的官员名字非常敏感，因此姑隐其名。

据称相关的对话如下：

官员甲：同志们。苏茜怀尔斯（特朗普白宫幕僚长人选）指特朗普希望这是史上最大的就职庆典。“地球上最伟大的庆典”。

官员乙：特朗普也希望这能为他的任期提供一个好的开始。就像他回应那些对他的邀请名单持怀疑态度的人，这些人说“哇，特朗普邀请有点冒险，不是吗？”

特朗普回应说：“也许是。我们拭目以待。我们看看会有什么火花。但我们喜欢冒险。”

官员丙：习近平的到来肯定会带来重大改变。不过，内部消息是，除非特朗普能保证其演讲不会含有任何对中国有负面的内容，否则习近平不可能会出席。

亲北京的华盛顿人士也希望特朗普表明，他不会延续拜登旨在减缓中国前进的政策，并确保新政府探索两国合作和互利的领域，并用行动而不是言语来表明。

官员甲：无论如何。我们不要排除任何可能，让我们敞开大门，等待习近平惊喜的到来。至于亚洲其他地区又如何？我们能否让我们的盟友领导人阵容，向世界展示我们在亚太地区拥有坚实的支持？

官员乙：这不用担心！

在外交圈早就流传，许多人暗示他们对特朗普的胜利感到高兴，并且渴望参加就职典礼。

官员丙：我相信“四方安全对话”（QUAD）领导人应该会赏脸。

官员甲：是的。印度一直对特朗普赞不绝口，莫迪需要我们的帮助来确保他的政权稳定。

官员乙：更重要的是，莫迪对于减缓金砖国家的发展至关重要。普京和习近平正在将去美元化作为他们的目标，而特朗普希望能阻止这一趋势。

官员丙：（印度外交部长）苏杰生已迫不及待展示莫迪在特朗普第一个任期内，在“四方安全对话”上如何为特朗普站台。苏杰生也回应了有关特朗普威胁要对金砖国家征收100%关税来惩罚国际贸易去美元化的国家，其称由于美国是印度最大的贸易伙伴，新德里没有理由不用美元。

官员甲：我听说（特朗普政府的联邦调查局局长人选）帕特尔与莫迪都是来自古吉拉特邦。这肯定会对印度产生一定影响。

官员乙：“四方安全对话”、五眼联盟和北约领导人应安排在前座。但我们须确保（加拿大总理）特鲁多和莫迪不会坐在一起。哎呀，这两人都讨厌对方。

官员丙：嘿，如果让他们两人坐在一起，也是个不错主意，这反直觉安排。让CNN和CBC聚焦，然后镜头再对向特朗普。特朗普为加拿大和印度带来和平。

那将是多么美妙的反转。加上解决了乌克兰战争，特朗普将作为世界上最伟大的和平缔造者之一载入史册。我告诉你，特朗普会喜欢这样安排的。

官员甲：那就这么做吧。我们必须修复特朗普在推特上称特鲁多为“伟大的加拿大州州长”造成的损害。尽管（加拿大被视为美国一部份）这是真的，但我渥太华的朋友们对加拿大被贴上美国第51个州的标签，真的很生气。

官员乙：特鲁多的民意很低。特朗普捉著他的弱点……所以会继续压榨他。

官员乙：在南半球，澳洲媒体一直在为难特朗普。我们须确保他们知道我们不高兴。把澳洲总理阿尔博位置放在后面，别让他有太多关注。

官员丙：是啊，澳洲驻美国大使陆克文也是个大嘴巴。特朗普也不会喜欢看到他。

官员甲：陆克文不久之后应该就会卸任。澳洲人一直在试图巴结我们，因为他们没有了拜登，需要我们协助实现澳英美三方安全伙伴关系（AUKUS）目标。

官员乙：我听到小道消息说阿尔博正在为特朗普组织一场胜利之旅，但特朗普不太可能同意。

官员丙：让阿尔博和太平洋岛屿国家领袖排在一起。有一点是肯定的，特朗普希望澳洲、日本、台湾和其他国家能为美国在太平洋地区驻军承担更多费用。同时，我们必须排除韩国总统尹锡悦。

官员甲：我确信尹会尽力要我们保住他的政治前程，坦白说，其败局已定。

官员乙：实际上，我发现其有一个可令人耳目一新的变化，尤其是去年他到访美国期间，唱〈美国派〉时，展示了一把好声音。

官员丙：我记得了，其声音不错。但看起来尹处境更可能是猫王当年电影里〈监狱摇滚〉的角色。幸亏尹是在拜登的领导期间上位的，如今其成了烫手山芋，别忘了，特朗普仍在寻求与金正恩达成协议。

官员甲：好的。别忘了还有（菲律宾总统）小马科斯。他是最先向特朗普祝贺的人之一，他的人一直在给我们打电话，以确保受到邀请。

官员乙：是的。莫迪也一样。你知道吗？苏杰生宣称，莫迪祝贺电话是特朗普接获的首三个世界领导人祝贺电话之一。

在小马科斯宣传上，菲律宾媒体也透过其母亲伊美黛大肆宣传与美国的关系。据菲律宾媒体称，伊美黛和特朗普很久以前就认识了，可追溯到伊美黛当年访问纽约联合国以及在夏威夷流亡期间。

她可能当时就是住在特朗普的酒店。要知道，人脉关系对特朗普来说非常重要。

官员甲：我们确实必须确保就职典礼成为一场全球的盛会。这将提醒世界，美国在政治、经济和世界舞台上的领导地位。

官员乙：我们的科技巨头投入了数百万美元，这应该很容易做到。世界各国领导人都希望收到特朗普邀请。

官员甲：那我们就圣诞节后再见吧！

林德宜《谁会出席特朗普就职礼？》原文：President Xi will not attend Trump Inauguration: Who is Going?

Dad has invited Chinese President Xi Jinping to attend his inauguration. All we want is PEACE around the World. 12:53 AM · Dec 12, 2024.

Barron Trump, X account

This now taken down post by Trump’s son, Barron Trump, on his X account, has given rise to a slew of news reports examining the unprecedented invitation and speculating on the response it is likely to receive.

As background, it should be noted that no world leader has made an official visit to see a new American president sworn in, according to State Department records.

Adding to the suspense from the reports which have made it the top story in media reporting is this hot microphone leak of a purported conversation held by several Trump administration officials on the inauguration invitation list.

For obvious reasons, the names of the officials involved are too sensitive to divulge.

Purported Conversation Picked Up From Hot MIC*

Official A: Look guys. Susie says that Donnie wants this to be the biggest inauguration bash in history. “The greatest show on earth”.

B: He also wants this to provide a great start to his term. Like he's responded to those skeptical about his invitation list and saying 'Wow, that's a little risky, isn't it?'

Trump says “'Maybe it is. We'll see. We'll see what happens. But we like to take little chances.”

C: Getting Xi will definitely be a game changer. Inside news is that he's unlikely to attend unless Trump can assure that his speech will not have anything negative about China.

Beijing’s Washington boys want Trump to emphasise that he's not going to continue Biden's policies aimed at slowing down China's progress and to assure that the new administration will explore areas for cooperation and mutual benefit. In deeds not words.

A: Okay then. Let's keep the door open for a Xi surprise. What about the rest of Asia? Can we get a lineup of our allies leaders to show the world that we have solid support in Asia Pacific?

B: No worries on that!

The cocktail circuit of ambassadors has been buzzing with so many dropping hints on how they love Donnie's triumph and are dying to be at the inaugural.

C: We should be able to get a good Quad attendance.

A: Yup. India has been saying very nice things about Trump and Modi needs all our help to make sure his regime stays stable.

B: More than that Modi is going to be critical in slowing down BRICS. Putin and Xi are making dedollarization their target and Donnie wants to stop this.

C: Jaishankar has already gone to town in pointing out Modi for helping Trump on Quad during his first term. He's also responded to Trump’s threat to punish countries for de-dollarising international trade by imposing 100% tariffs on BRICS countries, saying since the US was India’s largest trade partner, New Delhi has no interest in hurting the dollar.

A: I hear Kash is a fellow Gujarati with Modi. That's going to make some difference to India definitely.

B: Leaders of QUAD, Five Eyes and NATO should be given front row seats. But we will want to make sure that Trudeau and Modi are not seated together. Man, those two really hate each other's guts.

C: Hey, that's not a bad idea. Counter intuitive. Seat them together. Get CNN and CBC to focus, and then to pan on Donnie. Donnie brings peace to Canada India relations.

What a coup that would be. That together with Ukraine will make Donnie go into the history books as one of the world's greatest peacemakers. He’s going to love this, I tell you.

A: Let's do it. We have to repair the damage from Trump’s tweet calling Trudeau the "governor of the great state of Canada". It's true but my Ottawa friends are really pissed off with Canada being labelled as the United States 51st state.

B: Terrible poll figures for Trudeau. Donnie knows he’s got Trudeau by the b…. so he will continue to squeeze them.

B: Down south, Australian media has been giving Trump a hard time. Let's make sure that they know we don't like it. Stick Albo at the back and give him less attention.

C: Yeah, big mouth Rudd too. Donnie can't stand the sight of him.

A: Rudd should be gone before long. Their boys have been trying to suck up to us big time now that they don't have Biden and need us to deliver on AUKUS.

B: I hear through the grapevine that Albo is angling to organise a victory tour for Donnie but he's unlikely to agree.

C: Let's put Albo with the Pacific island crew. One thing’s for sure. Donnie wants Australia, Japan, Taiwan and others to pay us a lot more for staying on in the Pacific. Meanwhile, we have to make sure that Yoon stays out.

A: I’m sure Yoon will be trying his best to have us save his skin but frankly, he’s a lost cause.

B: I actually found him a refreshing change, especially when he sang “American Pie” during his visit. Nice voice.

C: I remember that. Really something. But it looks like it is ‘Jailhouse Rock’ next for Yoon. Just as well that it was under Sleepy Joe. That man’s now toxic and don't forget, Trump is still looking to do a deal with Kim Jong Un

A: Okay. There’s also Bongbong Marcos to consider. He’s been amongst the first to congratulate Donnie, and his boys have been ringing us off the hook to make sure he is invited.

B: Yes. Same with Modi. Did you know that Jaishanker announced that Modi’s call was one of the first three from world leaders that Trump took.

In Bongbong’s case the Filipino media is making a big deal of the connection through Imelda. According to them, the President’s mother and Trump have known each other from way back during her visits to the UN in New York and during their time in exile in Hawaii.

May have stayed in his hotel. You know, personal connections are very important for Donnie.

A: We really have to make sure the inauguration is a global spectacle. This will remind the world of America’s leadership - in politics, economics and showmanship.

B: That should be easy to do with the millions of dollars pouring in from our tech titans. And every leader wanting an invitation to shake Donnie's hand.

A: Let’s meet again after X’mas on this!
