trash talk, talk trash 「毒舌（を吐く）」「こきおろす」 [アメリカ政治]
アメリカ大統領選挙にからんで先日 pit について書いた際に引用した文に trash-talking という単語があり、おもしろい言い方だなと思ったので取り上げたい。もちろん、口の悪いドナルド・トランプ候補を形容したものだ。trash talk で「挑発的な言葉（を使う）」という意味になる。
AP通信の記事をふたたび引用しよう。
- It would pit Clinton, the politically cautious, detailed-oriented former secretary of state and senator, against Trump, the trash-talking political outsider who has generated outrage with his derogatory comments about Muslims, Mexicans and women, among others（後略）
(AP, March 2, 2016)
「不動産王」 real estate mogul というより、むしろ「毒舌王」「暴言王」と言ったほうがふさわしい感もあるトランプ氏、今回の単語との組み合わせて検索すると確かに続々とヒットがある。たとえば、
- Trump trash talks Carson, ‘overrated’ Rubio and ‘sleeping’ Bush
Donald Trump held a press conference Tuesday--and that meant plenty of Trumpian trash talk aimed at his rivals for the Republican presidential nomination.
(Reuters, November 3, 2015)
他の候補も負けてはいない。
- Rubio-Trump trash talk heats Super Tuesday trail
The latest verbal sparring comes from Rubio, who unleashed a series of trash-talking attacks against Trump during his last few campaign stops, some of which were made in direct rebuttal to the billionaire’s own hits against him.
