美國前共和黨總統候選人、即將上任的猶他州參議員米特·羅姆尼，近日對唐納德·特朗普發起了猛烈攻擊，稱他令全世界失望。

Writing in the Washington Post, he said the US president had not "risen to the mantle" of the presidency.

在《華盛頓郵報》上他這樣寫道，這位美國總統沒有“擔當起總統的重任”。

The timing of Mr Romney's article, just two days before he is sworn in, has prompted some to speculate he is positioning himself as a challenger to Mr Trump securing the Republican presidential nomination.

羅姆尼在宣誓就職前兩天發佈了該文章，這個時機引起人們猜測他會在共和黨總統候選人提名上將自己定位爲特朗普的挑戰者。

In the article, Mr Romney praised many of Mr Trump's policies, such as his tax reforms and appointment of conservative judges.

在這篇文章中，羅姆尼讚揚了特朗普的許多政策，例如他的稅制改革和任命保守派法官。

But he went on to say: "With the nation so divided, resentful and angry, presidential leadership in qualities of character is indispensable. And it is in this province where the incumbent's shortfall has been most glaring."

但他接着說：“由於國家如此分裂、怨恨和憤怒，總統在品質方面的領導力是不可或缺的。而現任總統在這個方面的不足最爲明顯。”
