5月17日（路透社）——美国众议员托马斯·马西周日表示，美国总统唐纳德·特朗普对党内批评者马西的持续攻击，是为帮助其在周二肯塔基州初选中的对手而采取的“绝望之举”。

- 特朗普将矛头对准了马西，这位共和党议员曾在重大立法和伊朗问题上与总统唱反调，还牵头推动共和党在国会中公布已故金融大亨、定罪性犯罪者杰弗里·爱泼斯坦的相关政府文件。
- 马西的对手是特朗普背书的候选人、前美国海军海豹突击队队员埃德·加莱恩，该人选是总统亲自挑选的。部分民调显示马西领先，另有民调显示加莱恩处于领先。
- 本周末以来，特朗普至少四次在社交媒体上攻击马西，周日他更是称马西为“史上最糟糕的共和党众议员”，是“真正的负面力量！！！”
- 总统周六还批评了科罗拉多州共和党众议员劳伦·博伯特对马西的支持，并表示欢迎有人挑战她的初选席位。
- 特朗普针对违抗他的共和党人的报复行动已取得成效。连任两届的共和党参议员比尔·卡西迪在周六路易斯安那州初选中落选。
- 但马西对特朗普掌控共和党构成了新的考验。马西周日在接受美国广播公司《本周》节目采访时表示，每次特朗普在社交媒体上提及他，都会为自己带来筹款助力，并猜测总统“急于除掉”他。

May 17 (Reuters) – U.S. President Donald Trump’s repeated attacks on intraparty critic Representative Thomas Massie reflect a “desperate” attempt to help his opponent in Tuesday’s Kentucky primary, the lawmaker said Sunday.

- Trump has targeted Massie, a Republican who has defied the president in Congress over major legislation and the Iran war and led his party’s drive to release government files on the late financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
- Massie is facing Trump-backed candidate Ed Gallrein, a former U.S. Navy SEAL whom the president hand-picked. Some polls show Massie ahead; others show Gallrein with a lead.
- Trump, who has posted social media attacks on Massie at least four times this weekend, on Sunday called Massie “The Worst Republican Congressman in History” and a “a true negative force!!!”
- The president on Saturday criticized Representative Lauren Boebert, a Colorado Republican, over her support for Massie and said he would welcome a primary challenger to her.
- Trump’s retribution campaign against Republicans who have defied him has been successful. Two-term Republican U.S. Senator Bill Cassidy lost his bid for re-election in Louisiana’s primary on Saturday.
- But Massie poses a new test for Trump’s hold on the Republican Party. Massie, in an appearance Sunday on ABC’s This Week, said he gets a fundraising boost each time Trump mentions him on social media and speculated that the president is “desperate” to get rid of him.
