最高法院判决后几分钟，唐纳德·特朗普出现在他位于佛罗里达州的马阿拉歌庄园前在一个历史性案件中得出的论点由于第14修正案第3条——“叛乱条款”——他与1月6日和2020年大选有关的行为，挑战他再次任职的能力。
他对记者说，观看听证会是一个“非常美好的过程”。
“我希望这个国家的民主将继续下去，”他说，接着重复了他在竞选中对乔·拜登总统的许多熟悉的批评，并谈到了所谓的“政治武器化”，检察官和他的法律挑战者否认了这一点。
多名法官在整个听证会上都表达了担忧根据第14修正案允许各州排除候选人的潜在深远后果。
随后，特朗普对其法律团队的工作充满信心，称他们的案件“非常有力”。

“我认为今天的演讲非常精彩。我认为它很受欢迎。我希望它很受欢迎。有数百万人想要投票，他们碰巧想投票给我或共和党。
虽然此案现已正式提交审议，但预计不会很快做出裁决。
被挤来挤去挑战者律师的论点关于他在2021年1月6日暴乱期间最初没有采取行动平息暴力的详细记录，特朗普试图在记者提问时阻止他，并表示责任在于前众议院议长南希·佩洛西。
”我平和而爱国地说道。这次演讲被称为和平和爱国。这是和平和爱国的，”特朗普说，他指的是1月6日上午在白宫附近发表的演讲，他在演讲中还说“如果你不拼命战斗，你就不会再有一个国家。”
特朗普周四表示:“他说我说了不好的言论，事实恰恰相反。“所以我认为你应该看看我之前和之后发表的声明。你会看到完全不同的对话。”
特朗普在佛罗里达州的讲话取代了他亲自出席最高法院听证会的做法，尽管竞选官员此前曾提出他会出席的想法，就像他在其他一些法庭诉讼中所做的那样。(他否认所有不当行为。)
但特朗普通常坚持要上法庭，这导致他与其他共和党挑战者相比，保持了轻松的竞选日程，甚至取消了出庭受审的审判。
然而，随着内华达州党团会议于周四晚上举行，特朗普的竞选和法律日程安排将再次碰撞.
在Mar-a-Lago发表讲话后，特朗普计划前往拉斯维加斯参加党团守夜派对。
特朗普在最近的竞选演讲中暗示，最高法院(包括他提名的三名法官)将在第14修正案案件中支持他。周四，一些倾向自由派的法官也对这一挑战表示怀疑。
“我想要的只是公平，”特朗普上个月在爱荷华州的竞选活动中说。“我真的很努力地争取到了三个非常非常好的人，他们都是很棒的人，非常聪明的人。我只希望他们会公平。”
Trump calls Supreme Court's 14th Amendment hearing 'a very beautiful process'
Donald Trump emerged in front of his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida minutes after Supreme Courtarguments concluded in a historic casechallenging his ability to hold office again due to Section 3 of the 14th Amendment -- the "insurrection clause" -- over his actions related to Jan. 6 and the 2020 election.
Watching the hearing play out was a "a very beautiful process," he said, speaking with reporters.
"I hope that the democracy of this country will continue," he said, going on to repeat many of his familiar campaign trail criticisms of President Joe Biden and to talk about the alleged "weaponization of politics," which prosecutors and his legal challengers deny.
Multiple justicesthroughout the hearing had expressed concernsover ballot access and the potentially far-reaching consequences of allowing states to exclude candidates under the 14th Amendment.
Trump, afterward, sounded confident about the work of his legal team, calling their case "very strong."
"I thought the presentation today was a very good one. I think it was well received. I hope it was well received. You have millions of people that are out there wanting to vote, and they happen to want to vote for me or the Republican Party," he said.
While the case has now been officially submitted for consideration, a ruling is not expected imminently.
Pressed aboutarguments from the challengers' counselregarding his well-documented initial inaction to quell the violence during the Jan. 6, 2021, riot, Trump attempted to stop the reporter mid-question and said the blame was with former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
"I said peacefully and patriotically. The speech was called peacefully and patriotically. It's peacefully and patriotically," Trump said, referring to a speech he gave on the morning of Jan. 6 near the White House, in which he also said "if you don't fight like hell, you're not going to have a country anymore."
"He said I said bad statements, it was the exact opposite," Trump said on Thursday. "So I think you should take a look at the statements that I made before and after. And you'll see a whole different dialogue."
Trump's Florida remarks came in lieu of him attending the Supreme Court hearing in person, though campaign officials had previously floated the idea that he would, just as he has with some of his other court proceedings. (He denies all wrongdoing.)
But Trump has generally been adamant about going to court, which has caused him to maintain a light campaign schedule compared to his other Republican challengers and even cancel trail appearances to appear at his trials.
However, with the Nevada caucuses taking place Thursday evening, Trump's campaign and legal schedule arecolliding once again.
After speaking at Mar-a-Lago, Trump plans to head to Las Vegas for a caucus night watch party.
Trump had used his recent campaign speeches to suggest that the Supreme Court -- which includes three justices that he named -- would side with him in the 14th Amendment case. Some of the liberal-leaning justices also sounded skeptical of the challenge on Thursday.
"All I want is fair," Trump said last month at a campaign stop in Iowa. "I fought really hard to get three very, very good people and they're great people, very smart people. And I just hope that they're going to be fair."
