川普 訪問增強了Fort Drum的士氣
[ 纽约当地媒体报道]Fort Drum的代表再次面臨老闆匆匆走访幾個小時带来的巨大挑戰。
週一下午，唐納德川普總統訪問了北方國家的陸軍哨所。他由副總統邁克彭斯陪同，並受到軍方和社區領導人的歡迎。
美國眾議員Elise M. Stefanik，R-Willsboro，邀請川普先生今年早些時候訪問Fort Drum。總統在星期一對該職位的士兵以及當地政要發表的講話中，感謝她幫助通過了2019財年的約翰·麥凱恩國防授權法案。他在Fort Drum期間將該法案簽署為法律。
來自北國的許多民選官員在空軍一號到來之前參加了招待會。嘉賓名單包括Sens.Patricia A. Ritchie，R-Heuvelton和Joseph A. Griffo，R-Rome以及Jefferson County立法委員會成員。運送總統和副總統所涉及的後勤工作確實令人難以置信。 Fort Drum必須為眾多豪華轎車，轎車和SUV騰出空間。然後，現場有無數的執法車輛。 安全存在無處不在。川普先生出場的訪客可以很容易地看到美國特勤局成員，軍警，州警和杰斐遜縣的治安官代表。
雖然所有人都以友好的方式進行自己的工作，但他們認真對待自己確保總統，副總統，民選官員和堡壘士兵享有安全的環境是他們唯一關注的焦點。 川普先生的飛機“空軍一號”於下午2點降落。在Wheeler-Sack陸軍機場。彭斯先生的飛機“空軍二號”於下午1點半之前降落。 一輛車的大篷車被用來迎接總統和副總統。 Fort Drum今天大幅增加了碳足跡。 人們很容易質疑錢和人員是否值得這樣做。特朗普先生和潘斯先生在下午的一部分時間搬到紐約北部，這是非常昂貴的。所有參與計劃此次訪問的人當然有更好的方式來度過他們的時間。 但是，雖然總是可以提出疑慮，但這種類型的事件具有很大的價值。美國總統掌握著世界上任何人的最負責任的工作，保證他的安全至關重要。這需要大量資源。除了擔任聯邦政府的首席執行官外，川普先生還是總司令。他做出的決定對軍人中的女性和男性及其家人的生活產生了深遠的影響。
總統的訪問提高了Fort Drum所有人的士氣。他們的工作對於保護我們的家園和維護自由至關重要。川普先生來到北國審查部隊，並對他們所做的一切表示感謝，這無疑提升了他們的精神。總統與他的命令聯繫是很重要的。川普先生的訪問將是一次Fort Drum的每個人都會永不忘記的經歷。而對於那些全年都把生命处于危险中的人來說，让他們的指揮官在後面拍拍是一個不大的代價。
Trump’s visit boosts morale at Fort Drum
Representatives of Fort Drum have once again confronted the enormous challenge of having their boss drop by for a few hours.
President Donald Trump visited the Army post in the north country Monday afternoon. He was accompanied by Vice President Mike Pence and greeted by military and community leaders.
U.S. Rep. Elise M. Stefanik, R-Willsboro, invited Mr. Trump to visit Fort Drum earlier this year. In his remarks Monday to soldiers on the post as well as local dignitaries, the president thanked her for helping to pass the John S. McCain National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019. He signed the bill into law while at Fort Drum.
Many elected officials from the north country attended a reception before the arrival of Air Force One. The guest list included state Sens. Patricia A. Ritchie, R-Heuvelton, and Joseph A. Griffo, R-Rome, and members of the Jefferson County Board of Legislators.
The logistics involved in transporting the president and vice president are truly mind-boggling. Fort Drum had to make room for numerous limousines, sedans and SUVs. Then, there were the countless law enforcement vehicles on site.
The security presence was everywhere. Visitors to the post for Mr. Trump’s appearance could easily spot members of the U.S. Secret Service, military police, state troopers and sheriff’s deputies from Jefferson County.
While all conducted themselves in a friendly manner, they took their jobs seriously. Ensuring the president, vice president, elected officials and Fort Drum soldiers enjoyed a secure environment was their sole focus.
Mr. Trump’s plane, Air Force One, landed just after 2 p.m. at Wheeler-Sack Army Airfield. Mr. Pence’s plane, Air Force Two, had landed shortly before 1:30 p.m.
A caravan of vehicles was employed to greet both the president and the vice president. Fort Drum substantially increased its carbon footprint this day.
It’s tempting to question whether the money and personnel are worth such an endeavor. Moving Mr. Trump and Mr. Pence to Northern New York for a portion of the afternoon is outrageously expensive. And all those involved in planning this visit certainly had much better ways to spend their time.
But while doubts can always be raised, this type of event has great value. The U.S. president holds the most responsible job of anyone in the world, and keeping him safe is essential. This requires vast resources.
In addition to serving as the chief executive of the federal government, Mr. Trump is commander in chief. The decisions he makes profoundly affect the lives of the women and men in the military along with their families.
A visit from the president boosts the morale of all those at Fort Drum. Their work is critical to safeguarding our homeland and preserving our freedoms. Having Mr. Trump come to the north country to review the troops and express his gratitude for everything they do definitely lifted their spirits.
It’s important that the president connects with those he commands. Mr. Trump’s visit will be an experience that everyone at Fort Drum who saw him will never forget. And for people who put their lives on the line throughout the year, receiving a pat on the back by their commander is a modest price to pay.
在川普抵達之前，沃特敦是反政府集會的場所
距離Wheeler-Sack陸軍機場12英里和政治世界，大約200名北方居民和各種政治人員在總統登陸前向總統唐納德·J·川普和美國眾議員Elise M. Stefanik，R-Willsboro舉行抗議活動。在Fort Drum簽署國防授權法案。
該集會由工會贊助，服務僱員國際聯盟1199是主要組織者，但參與的包括來自國際電氣工人兄弟會，紐約州聯合教師，州議會教會和紐約計劃生育組織的成員。
各種發言者批評總統和斯特凡尼女士關於減少醫療保健，提議削減社會保障/醫療保險，缺乏公立學校支持以及顯然不致力於世界和平或多民族主義的政府。揚聲器經常被汽車喇叭打斷，主要是支持，但有些人反對集會。
哥倫比亞中央學校的老師兼強大的紐約州立大學支持者Lori Griffin申請了聚會許可證，但當她發現SEIU已經採取行動時，她說她決定“捎帶他們”。
“這很好，”她說，揮舞著她明亮的橙色標誌，嘲笑美國教育部長Betsy DeVos--“川普富有，無能為力的僕從正在取消公眾教育！”
發言者中有紐約州教會理事會執行主任彼得·M·庫克牧師，他來自奧爾巴尼，致力於集會，譴責川普總統的孤立主義和侵略性的國防政策，他說這些政策對世界構成了威脅。和平。
來自Gouverneur的護士米歇爾·奧唐奈（Michelle O'Donnell）談到了由總統頒布的“Elise Stefanik的幫助”所帶來的對負擔得起的醫療保健的威脅。在她發言後，她說她對人群印象深刻。
“在此之前，我和其他幾個人一直在一起，而這群人的人數更多，”她說。
作為將演講者捆綁在一起的膠水，SEIU紐約州紐約州政治主管Mark Spadafore擔任播音員，啦啦隊長和遊戲節目的個性，用頌歌向人群開火併介紹所有演講者。
SEIU通訊主管Allison Krause表示工會對投票率感到滿意，儘管她感嘆在集會上“年輕人”太少了
這是一個公平的觀察;那里人們的平均年齡趨向於65歲以上，而不是35歲。但正如馬科姆的大衛·達夫所說，“在平日的早晨，200人參加是一件非常重要的事情。” 達夫先生引用了他對本屆政府和國會的一攬子反對意見。他說這個國家的方向讓他感到害怕。 “這不僅僅是我。許多終身共和黨人對這個方向（川普）領導這個國家感到非常不安，“達夫先生說。 他最關心的問題是收入不公平現象加劇，以及明顯缺乏對公共教育的嚴重關注。 “二十五年前，人們過上了好日子。現在他們不是，“他說。 “富人guo得很好。” 他還反對削減教育支出。 “一個人最近對我說，'如果你認為教育費用昂貴，那就試試無知的代價，'”達夫先生說。文森特角的詹姆斯謝里丹說，特朗普總統和眾議員斯特凡尼克有多個問題與他有關。 “我真的很關心繼續社會保障，醫療保健，世界和平與合作，”他說。 他引用總統對其他國家的侵略態度作為對國際合作的威脅。 “如果我們要解決世界上的問題，我們需要全世界人民的幫助與合作，”他說。 “分開我們會倒下。” 78歲的謝里丹先生表示，他對美國政治質量感到擔憂。 “我已經活了很長時間，而且我從未在這種狀態下見過我們，”他說。 “民主不是一項觀賞性運動。它需要強有力的參與，我們似乎沒有得到。“ 許多參加集會的人預計會在下午2點（當時的集會結束時）跳上他們的汽車，開車到Utica再次抗議，這次更接近總統，後者將突出一場針對危險的眾議員克勞迪婭的競選活動。 Tenney，R-New Hartford。那個集會點靠近籌款活動所在的大樓。

Before Trump arrives, Watertown is the site for an anti-administration rally

Macomb’s David Duff, left, talks politics with David Katz on Monday. The two were at an anti-Trump rally on Public Square, Watertown, before the president landed at Fort Drum, 12 miles away.
Twelve miles and a political world away from Wheeler-Sack Army Airfield, about 200 north country residents and assorted political operatives staged a protest against President Donald J. Trump and U.S. Rep. Elise M. Stefanik, R-Willsboro, before the president landed to sign the National Defense Authorization Act at Fort Drum.
The rally was union-sponsored, with Service Employees International Union 1199 the primary organizer, but participation included members from the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, New York State United Teachers, state Council of Churches and Planned Parenthood of New York.
A variety of speakers criticized the president and Ms. Stefanik over health care reductions, proposed Social Security/Medicare cuts, a lack of public school support and an administration apparently not dedicated to world peace or multinationalism.
The speakers were frequently interrupted by car horns, mostly in support but some opposed to the rally.
Lori Griffin, a Copenhagen Central School teacher and strong NYSUT supporter, had applied for a permit for the gathering, but when she found SEIU had already acted, she said she decided to “piggyback on them.”
“This is turning out great,” she said, waving her bright orange sign mocking U.S. Education Secretary Betsy DeVos — “Trump’s rich, clueless minion is DeVostating public education!”
Among the speakers was the Rev. Peter M. Cook, executive director of the New York State Council of Churches, who came from Albany to address the rally, decrying President Trump’s isolationism and aggressive defense policies, which he said lead to a threat to world peace.
Michelle O’Donnell, a nurse from Gouverneur, spoke about the threats to affordable health care that have been enacted by the president “with Elise Stefanik’s help.” After she spoke, she said she was impressed with the crowd.
“I’ve been to a couple others before this and this crowd is larger,” she said.
Acting as the glue that bound the speakers together, SEIU upstate New York political director Mark Spadafore acted as an announcer, cheerleader and game-show personality, firing up the crowd with chants and introducing all the speakers.
SEIU communications director Allison Krause said the union was pleased with the turnout, although she lamented that there were too few “young people” at the rally.
It was a fair observation; the average age of people there trended more toward 65 than 35. But as David Duff of Macomb noted, “For a weekday morning, getting 200 out to participate is a pretty big deal.”
Mr. Duff cited a litany of his objections to this administration, and Congress in general. He said the direction the country is going frightens him.
“It’s not only me. A lot of lifelong Republicans are very disturbed with the direction (Trump) is leading this country,” Mr. Duff said.
His top concerns are growing income inequity and an apparent lack of serious concern about public education.
“Twenty-five years ago, people were making a good living. Now they aren’t,” he said. “The rich are doing just fine.”
He also objects to cuts in education spending.
“A guy said to me recently, ‘If you think education is expensive, try the cost of ignorance,’” Mr. Duff said.
James Sheridan, of Cape Vincent, said there are multiple issues that concern him about President Trump and Rep. Stefanik.
“I’m really concerned about continuing Social Security, health care, world peace and cooperation,” he said.
He cited the president’s aggressive attitude toward other nations as a threat to international cooperation.
“If we’re going to solve the world’s problems, we need the help and cooperation of all the world’s people,” he said. “Separated we will fall.”
The 78-year-old Mr. Sheridan said he is concerned about the quality of politics in the United States in general.
“I’ve lived a long time, and I’ve never seen us in this state,” he said. “Democracy is not a spectator sport. It demands strong participation, which we don’t seem to be getting.”
Many of those at the rally were expected to jump in their cars at 2 p.m., when the rally ended, to drive to Utica to protest again, this time much closer to the president, who was to highlight a campaign event for imperiled Rep. Claudia Tenney, R-New Hartford. That rally point was near to the building in which the fundraiser was held.
