Not alt-right
Clinton says Trump has based his campaign on prejudice and paranoia

これまでのものと変わったからといって正しくない
クリントンはトランプの選挙運動が偏見と誇大妄想に基づいていると言っている。

TWENTY years ago when Bob Dole accepted the Republican presidential nomination: “He pointed to the exits and told any racists in the party to get out,” Hillary Clinton recalled approvingly on August 25th, as she neared the end of a speech that—in effect—accused Donald Trump of beckoning bigots back in to the heart of the conservative movement. Mrs Clinton’s account of Mr Trump’s closeness to white supremacists and conspiracy theorists was both brutal and detailed: closer in tone and structure to a prosecutor’s closing argument than to a traditional campaign speech. 

racists：人種差別主義者
approvingly：頷くように・満足げに 
neared：に近づく
in effect：事実上
accuse ~ of：非難する
beckoning：手招きする・合図する
bigots：わからず屋
account：説明・弁明
white supremacists ：白人優先主義者
brutal　：容赦のない



The Democrat started with Mr Trump’s record as a young property developer, when he was sued by the Department of Justice for refusing to rent apartments to black and Latino tenants (whose applications would be marked with a “C” for “coloured”, Mrs Clinton told her audience). Trawling through well-fished waters, she cited Mr Trump’s energetic promotion of the conspiracy theory that Barack Obama is not American-born, his claim that the Mexican government is actively sending rapists across the border and his assertion that a federal judge born in Indiana is biased against him because he is “a Mexican”. Indeed Mr Trump’s attack on a judge on the basis of his Hispanic heritage was condemned by the Republican Speaker of the House of Representatives, Paul Ryan, as “the textbook definition of a racist comment,” Mrs Clinton noted. 

Her case for the prosecution took her audience, in Reno, Nevada, into less familiar territory, too: the twilight world of the “alt-right”, a mostly online universe of ethno-nationalists and anti-immigration populists, that is at heart little more than a gussied-up, millennial-pleasing version of old-school white supremacist prejudice. Mrs Clinton urged voters to ponder what it means that Mr Trump recently hired as his campaign chief executive Stephen Bannon, the boss of Breitbart.com, a website much followed on the “alt-right”. She offered some Breitbart headlines, from “Would You Rather Your Child Had Feminism or Cancer” to “Hoist It High And Proud: The Confederate Flag Proclaims A Glorious Heritage.” She noted Breitbart’s contempt for mainstream conservative leaders and its many attacks on Mr Ryan, the House Speaker—a Republican who has urged his party to craft and promote policies to tackle inner-city poverty and curb racism, rather than ceding such ground to the Democrats.

Mrs Clinton noted Mr Trump’s vocal admiration for Vladimir Putin of Russia, who she called the “godfather” of a “global brand of extreme nationalism,” and his praise for Alex Jones, a talk radio host who has claimed that the Sandy Hook school shooting was faked by the government, with child actors used to play what he calls the non-existent victims. What kind of heart is dark enough to believe such things, she asked, ad-libbing from her prepare text, before quoting Mr Trump telling Mr Jones, during an appearance on his radio show, that he would not “let you down”. She cited news reports of white school students using Trump slogans to taunt Latino children in schools in Indiana and Iowa. 

Sandy Hook school shooting：サンディフック小学校銃乱射事件は、2012年12月14日9時35分ごろ、アメリカ合衆国東部コネチカット州のサンディフック小学校で発生した銃乱射事件（スクールシューティング）。事件後、「（銃規制をするために）事件すべてがでっちあげであり、被害者家族や目撃者もすべて俳優が演じていた」という噂が立ち、検証サイトやビデオがインターネットで拡散され、被害者家族への誹謗中傷まで起こった。
let you down：がっかりさせる
taunt：嘲る

All these nods and winks, she argued, make a mockery of Mr Trump’s attempts, in the past week, to reset his image among non-white Americans. She poured scorn on speeches that Mr Trump has given in recent days, in which he has reached out to black Americans and accused Mrs Clinton of being a “bigot” whose policies hurt non-white voters and take them for granted. She quoted Mr Trump’s description of life in black inner-cities, which he has summed up as: “Poverty. Rejection. Horrible education. No housing. No homes. No ownership. Crime levels nobody has seen.” This, Mrs Clinton asserted was an insult to black America, which failed to see the success of black leaders, the vibrancy of black-owned business or the strength of the black church. What is more, Mr Trump had made those claims “in front of largely white audiences,” she chided. 

nods and winks：暗黙の了解
mockery：嘲り
scorn：軽蔑
bigot：頑固者
take them for granted：彼らを見くびる
insult：侮辱
vibrancy：力強い・鮮明
chided：たしなめる

月曜日。今日はこれまで。クリントンは散々、トランプの弱みである幾つかの政策を批判している。彼女の起訴に対する関心をトランプの民族主義、反移民主義に関心を向けさせた。白人優先主義者であるかれが、今更、黒人に媚を売ってもダメだというようなことを彼女は言った。彼女の批判はその通りだ。ただ、彼女自身にも問題があるので、彼女がトランプを批判する迫力に欠けるように思う。

昨日は４時起き押して、１日研修資料を作成していた。午後２時間ほど引っ越しの作業を行った。だいぶ気晴らしになった。１２時半まで仕事ができた。今朝は６時間に起きたので、寝不足だ。今日も水曜日の資料作成をするが、３時間は本を書きたい。今夜は元大連の総経理である欒さんと会食がある。ではまた明日。
