In the anxious(焦虑的) days following President Trump’s 2020 election loss—before his supporters stormed(冲击，猛攻) the Capitol, before his vengeful return to the White House, before the mass pardons for cop beaters(殴打警察者)—some Republican figures sought to cast his attempt to overturn the results as nothing more than a coping mechanism(把他的翻盘企图说成不过是心理应对).
在特朗普总统2020年败选后那些焦虑的日子里——在他的支持者冲击国会大厦之前，在他复仇般重返白宫之前，在大规模赦免殴打警察者之前——一些共和党人试图把他推翻选举结果的企图说成不过是一种心理应对机制。
Trump was merely blowing off steam(发泄情绪), people close to the president told me and other reporters. “What is the downside for humoring(迁就，哄着) him for this little bit of time?” one asked, suggesting that in the end, his antics(荒唐行为，滑稽举动) would amount to no more than a footnote(不过是无足轻重的脚注) in the annals(史册，年鉴) of presidential history.
与总统关系密切的人士告诉我和其他记者，特朗普只是在发泄情绪。其中一人问道：“哄他这一小段时间有什么坏处呢？”言下之意，他的种种荒唐行径最终不过是总统史册里的一个脚注。
