英国保守党领袖 Kemi Badenoch：特朗普中期选举惨败完全是咎由自取
伦敦—英国保守党领袖 Kemi Badenoch 在英国《独立报》11月7日刊发的专访中表示，美国总统特朗普在中期选举中惨败是「完全咎由自取」，并批评他的政治风格总爱用侮辱人的方式「弄脏」政治。
这场专访由《独立报》总编辑 Geordie Greig 主持。被问到特朗普是否活该在中期选举中惨败时，Badenoch 回答说：「是的。他行事的方式，在我看来不像一个保守派。」她说：「选民要的是结果。」本届中期选举中，民主党夺回国会参众两院，翻下至少七个参议院席位和二十多个众议院选区。
Badenoch 批评的方面包括特朗普处理伊朗战争的方式、威胁加拿大与格陵兰、大范围加征关税，以及与英国等盟国争吵。她说，特朗普的做法背离了保守派看重的自由市场与改善贸易的原则。
谈到特朗普的个人风格时，她说：「特朗普本人很有魅力，但你看他谈论记者、谈论个人的方式，达不到一位政治家应有的标准，总是想在侮辱人这件事上弄脏手。」她还表示，特朗普对英国首相 Keir Starmer 出言不逊令她很不高兴，白宫方面对待乌克兰总统泽连斯基的方式「很糟糕」。
被问到 2024 年大选更偏向谁时，Badenoch 表示，就算当年由民主党候选人哈里斯胜选，她也不会介意。她说：「人们问我更喜欢谁，哈里斯还是特朗普？我的回答是，我对两人的好感一样多。你们自己体会。」
Badenoch 自 2024 年 11 月起担任英国保守党领袖与反对党领袖。她与特朗普同属西方保守派阵营，这番表态被英国媒体形容为她对特朗普罕见的全面开火。

UK Conservative Leader Kemi Badenoch: Trump's Midterm Defeat Was Entirely Self-Inflicted
LONDON — Kemi Badenoch, leader of Britain's Conservative Party, said in an interview published by The Independent on November 7 that U.S. President Donald Trump's heavy defeat in the midterm elections was "entirely self-inflicted," and denounced his "dirty" style of politics.
In the interview, conducted by The Independent's editor-in-chief Geordie Greig, Badenoch was asked whether Trump deserved to be thrashed in the midterms. "Yeah. He has not been acting in the way that I would consider conservative," she replied. "Voters want results," she said. Democrats took control of both chambers of Congress in the midterms, flipping at least seven Senate seats and more than two dozen House districts.
Badenoch criticised Trump's handling of the Iran war, his threats towards Canada and Greenland, his sweeping tariffs and his squabbles with allies including the UK, saying his approach had abandoned the free-market and better-trade principles conservatives prize.
On Trump's personal conduct, she said: "Trump is very charming in person, but you see the way that he talks about journalists, about individuals. It doesn't meet the standards a statesman should meet — always wanting to get dirty in terms of insults and so on." She said she particularly disliked his rudeness about British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, and called the White House's treatment of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky "awful."
Asked about the 2024 election, Badenoch said she would have been content if Democratic candidate Kamala Harris had won instead. "People ask me who did I prefer, Kamala Harris, Donald Trump? I would say I like them both equally. Make of that what you will," she said.
Badenoch has led the Conservative Party and served as Leader of the Opposition since November 2024. British media described the remarks — from a fellow Western conservative — as an unusually sweeping attack on Trump.
