選後清算 川普撤換白宮幕僚長

移民強硬派接替請辭的威爾斯,顯示川普轉為與民主黨全面開戰模式

Quick Look

美國總統川普任命強硬派移民政策擘畫者米勒出任白宮幕僚長,取代請辭的威爾斯,九日生效。川普稱米勒為其最信任顧問之一,分析認為此舉顯示川普轉為與民主黨全面對抗模式,民主黨領袖舒默批評米勒是野蠻非人道移民政策的擘畫者,並誓言抗爭到底。

AI-generated summary

Why It Matters

川普先前多次公開表示不會更換白宮幕僚長威爾斯,威爾斯過去兩年嚴守紀律,有效避免川普首度執政時常見的人事變動與紛爭。川普對威爾斯的不滿在於她和司法部在追查外洩機密資料人士以及起訴政敵方面做得不夠多。

美國總統川普六日任命被視為其死忠親信的強硬派人士米勒(Stephen Miller)擔任新任白宮幕僚長,取代已宣布請辭的威爾斯。立場強硬的米勒被欽點出任此等要職,顯示川普在期中選舉後將毫不留情反擊控制國會參院兩院的民主黨。民主黨人反嗆奉陪到底。

川普在社群平台上發文宣布這項九日生效的人事案,形容四十一歲的米勒是「我最信任的顧問之一」;他也稱許威爾斯「工作表現優異」,將轉任川普政治團隊。川普在白宮被問到為何選擇米勒來接替威爾斯時告訴記者:「我想要做些改變…人生有時就是得有所調整。」

兼任國土安全顧問 主張擴大總統權限

米勒原為負責政策事務的白宮副幕僚長,以及兼任川普的國土安全顧問,長期主張擴大總統權限,是川普去年回鍋白宮後大規模移民遣返的幕後擘畫者,過去數十年來一直是川普最近身助理之一,推動與川普的「美國優先」議題高度契合的本土主義政策。

顯示川普轉為全面開戰模式

一般認為,川普任命米勒出任白宮幕僚長,顯示他已從共和黨敗選後一度欲意與民主黨和解,轉為全面開戰模式。一名白宮官員表示,米勒被任命擔任白宮幕僚長,顯示川普不但不打算重新思考他的政策,反而嘉獎頭號忠臣;儘管上千萬美國選民否定川普在內政外交上的政策,川普也不打算改變調整。

民主黨重批川普人事調度 要抗爭到底

民主黨人顯然收到川普傳達的訊息。將在新國會中成為聯邦參議院多數黨(民主黨)領袖的舒默說,米勒是川普政府的最野蠻與沒人性的移民政策的擘畫者;川普這項人事選擇真的是爛到不能再爛,「我們(將在國會中占多數的)民主黨人會跟他一路抗爭到底」。

這項人事案除了米勒立場強硬令人側目,川普推翻選前多次堅稱不會 換掉威爾斯的說法也令人意外。六十九歲威爾斯過去兩年擔任白宮幕僚長期間嚴守紀律,有效避免川普首度執政時白宮常見的人事變動與紛爭,豈料如今卻成為共和黨敗選後首名「出局」的白宮高官。根據了解,威爾斯已於五日晚間請辭;而她本人也在社群媒體上證實,六日是她任職的最後一天。

華爾街日報指出,川普對威爾斯最大的不滿,在於她和司法部在追查外洩機密資料人士,以及起訴他的政敵上,做得不夠多。知情人士說,直到上週威爾斯還告訴川普,共和黨可保住參院。到投票當晚,面對敗選,川普終於忍不住公開怒斥威爾斯。

The elderly are exempted from paying health insurance premiums. Shi Chongliang: The burden on working people is increasing

The Legislative Yuan, under the leadership of the Kuomintang and the People's Party, passed the amendment to the "Elderly Welfare Law" on the third reading, clearly stipulating that elderly people over 65 years old are conditionally exempt from health insurance premiums. Executive President Zhuo Rongtai has confirmed not to countersign. Minister of Health and Welfare Shi Chongliang pointed out that if the elderly do not pay insurance premiums, the country will need to burn an additional 40 billion yuan every year, and the burden on the working class will increase. The Executive Yuan is willing to seek consensus with the Legislative Yuan.
