Trump says Google kisses his ass

Trump bragged at a rally that ‘Google wouldn’t have taken my call in the first term. Now they kiss my ass.’

特朗普在集会上吹嘘道：“谷歌在第一任期内根本不会接我的电话。现在他们却在拍我的马屁。”

During a rally on Saturday, October 17th, in Highland Heights, Kentucky, Donald Trump bragged about how much more powerful and influential he was during his second term. While listing off his accomplishments, he mentioned his decision to rename the Gulf of Mexico and Lake Ontario.

10月17日星期六，在肯塔基州海兰高地举行的一场集会上，唐纳德·特朗普吹嘘他在第二任期内变得多么强大和有影响力。在列举自己的成就时，他提到了自己决定重命名墨西哥湾和安大略湖。

“This is a much more powerful term. I can do stuff that’s unbelievable … I called Google, Google Maps. See, Google wouldn’t have taken my call in the first term. Now they kiss my ass.”

“这是一个权力大得多的任期。我可以做一些令人难以置信的事情……我给谷歌、谷歌地图打了电话。你看，谷歌在第一任期内根本不会接我的电话。现在他们却在拍我的马屁。”

Trump seems to be implying that he convinced Google to reflect the name change personally. That would seem to contradict Google’s statement on the matter, in which it said that it simply reflects “official government sources, which is GNIS for the US … These updates follow our long-standing policy for bodies of water with names that vary from country to country.”

特朗普似乎在暗示是他亲自说服了谷歌采纳这些名称变更。这似乎与谷歌就此事发表的声明相矛盾，谷歌称其只是反映了“官方政府来源，即美国的GNIS……这些更新遵循了我们针对各国名称不同的水域所制定的长期政策。”

Throughout his second term, however, Silicon Valley — including Google and its CEO Sundar Pichai — has gone out of its way to try and ingratiate itself with President Trump, lavishing him with gifts, compliments, and donations to his pet projects. Google did not immediately return a request for comment.

然而，在整个第二任期内，硅谷——包括谷歌及其首席执行官桑达尔·皮查伊——一直在竭尽全力试图讨好特朗普总统，向他赠送礼物、大加赞赏，并为他青睐的项目提供捐款。谷歌没有立即回复置评请求。
