在今年美国各地中期选举投票结束前,特朗普总统接受了CBS新闻的独家电话采访,被问及明年民主党掌控国会的可能性时表示:“我拥有至高无上的权力——这叫‘否决权’。”
特朗普先生称,若有必要,他准备否决民主党的立法,并且如果民主党在众议院或参议院赢得多数席位,他欣然接受“否决先生”这一形容他对民主党态度的称号。
民调机构一直在预测共和党将出现一些失利,10月下旬CBS新闻的民调显示,共和党可能会失去对众议院的控制权。
不过,周二接受电话采访被问及共和党的胜算时,特朗普先生依然保持乐观。他表示,无论明年的选举结果和国会构成如何,他都对自己未来两年推行施政议程的能力充满信心。他称,近期最高法院的裁决赋予了他和政府在联邦政府内部行使广泛行政权力的能力,即便国会试图阻挠他。
采访中,特朗普先生提到了今年早些时候最高法院做出的“特朗普诉斯劳特案”裁决,该裁决允许他解雇联邦贸易委员会委员丽贝卡·斯劳特,并表示这一6比3的裁决结果让他得以对众多联邦机构、董事会和委员会施加全面控制,无论参众两院由谁掌控多数席位。
“我们在斯劳特案中胜诉,该案赋予了总统前所未有的巨大权力,”特朗普先生说。
总统表示,他计划明年以该裁决为基础,在诸多联邦领域推进自己的议程,作为他即将出台的行政令的核心依据。
“总统职位,我们的总统职位,被视为强有力的职位。你可以做成很多事,”特朗普先生说。
特朗普先生还认为,如果民主党获得更多席位,他的否决权最终可能迫使民主党与他达成两党协议。
“从历史上看,你动用否决权一两个月后,他们就会找上门来说‘我们必须达成一项协议’,”特朗普先生说。
特朗普的这番表态意味着,如果民主党分别掌控参众两院,明年行政部门与国会之间可能会出现激烈对峙;他还坚称,如果民主党试图在国会山限制他的权力,他会进一步扩大行政权力的行使。
两位与特朗普关系密切、要求匿名以讨论私人对话的人士表示,最近几周白宫一直在讨论行政令相关事宜,办公厅副主任斯蒂芬·米勒和管理与预算办公室主任拉塞尔·沃夫是这些讨论的核心人物。知情人士称,正在考虑进一步发布行政令的议题范围包括移民和贸易。
一位接近总统的人士表示,“即便民主党可能赢得权力”,特朗普先生明年在贸易、边境管控、联邦政府管理以及美国外交政策和国家安全方面,仍将“保留推行几乎所有他想做之事的权力”。
谈及中期选举,特朗普先生表示,他认为自己在最近几周已经尽了全力帮助全国各地的共和党人,并称他的努力已将人们原本预期的“蓝色浪潮”(指民主党大胜)式选举重塑为一场势均力敌的竞争。
“如果你们还记得,大约30、40天前,人们都说共和党会惨败,现在大家讨论的却是我们甚至有可能胜出,”特朗普先生说。“我认为我的巡回竞选发挥了重大作用。我总共做了33场活动,持续29天,全是大型集会。从来没人做过这样的事。我认为我们成功传递了信息。我也成功调动了支持者的热情。”
当被问及为何要进行如此密集的竞选造势时,特朗普先生说:“我只是觉得我们做得非常好,不想让任何事情阻碍我们取得的成就”,并辩称去年通过的《一个伟大美好法案》以及他在贸易方面的举措正在推动不同经济领域的增长。
总统没有对周二的选举结果做出任何明确预测。
“我们拭目以待,”特朗普先生说,并指出大多数选举日都会出现意外情况和始料未及的发展。“我们会赢吗?我们很有胜算。但我们不会丢脸。”
周一,特朗普先生部分时间在华盛顿特区林肯纪念堂倒影池前发表演讲,详细谈及他推动翻修、清洁或重建白宫及首都周边重要建筑的计划。
在周二的采访中,特朗普先生表示,他这次演讲的目的是向美国民众展示,他正在运用自己作为终身开发商的技能,为民众重新打造华盛顿。
“奥巴马批评过我,”特朗普先生说道,指的是前总统巴拉克·奥巴马对他活动的批评。“但我们白宫前门曾有破窗户,”他说,“那景象太糟糕了。”
“这是白宫,”特朗普先生说,“你不能让墙体出现裂缝、石块半脱落的情况。而我把它修好了。你知道,我很擅长这类事。”
“我其实很喜欢做这类事,”特朗普先生说,“对很多人来说,这没法让他们放松,反而会让他们抓狂,但我做这事能让我放松,因为我真的做得很好,现在的白宫已经一尘不染了。”
当被问及2027年华盛顿及周边地区的翻新重点是什么时,总统表示,他希望完成白宫新宴会厅的建设,并着手推进他那座曾面临法律挑战的250英尺拱门的修建工作。
“我会把宴会厅建好,”谈及宴会厅时特朗普先生说,“这是一座宴会厅兼军事综合体。”至于那座拱门,“我们有望开工修建。”
“这是对成功的致敬,”谈及计划中的拱门时特朗普先生说。
“我做这些事,对我来说很有趣,但也很重要,”谈及自己的诸多建筑计划时,特朗普先生说,并将这些项目视为美化整个国家的更大努力的一部分。
“我们曾有97处‘S-G’区域,意思是‘严重涂鸦区’,”谈及他的政府对华盛顿特区的清理工作时,特朗普先生说,“97处,比如联邦最高法院的地基那里。”
至于自己的政治前途,特朗普先生表示,他目前还没有与顾问讨论潜在的2028年竞选,而这场竞选将面临巨大的宪法和法律障碍;他还表示,目前共和党拥有一支“后备力量非常强大”的候选人队伍。

“I have the ultimate power — it’s called ‘veto,’” President Trump told CBS News in an exclusive phone interview before polls closed across the country in this year’s midterm elections, when asked about the prospect of a Democratic-controlled Congress next year.
Mr. Trump says he is prepared to veto Democratic legislation if necessary, and he welcomes the moniker “Mr. Veto,” in terms of describing his approach to Democrats, should they win a majority in the House or Senate.
Pollsters have been predicting some GOP losses and in late October, CBS News’ polling suggested Republicans could be on track to lose control of the House.
Still, Mr. Trump remained optimistic on Tuesday when asked about the Republican Party’s chances during the phone interview. And he said that regardless of the results and the makeup of Congress next year, he feels confident about his ability to pursue his agenda in the coming two years. He remarked that recent Supreme Court decisions have empowered him and his administration to wield expansive executive powers inside the federal government even if Congress tries to block him.
In the interview, Mr. Trump cited Trump v. Slaughter , a Supreme Court decision from earlier this year that allowed him to fire Rebecca Slaughter, a member of the Federal Trade Commission, and said that 6-to-3 decision enables him to exert sweeping control over many federal agencies, boards and commissions, regardless of who holds majorities in the House and Senate.
“We won the Slaughter case and the Slaughter case gives the president tremendous powers that it never had before,” Mr. Trump said.
The president said that he plans to move forward his agenda next year in numerous federal areas with this ruling as part of the foundation for his coming executive actions.
“The presidency, our presidency, is considered a strong presidency. You can do a lot,” Mr. Trump said.
Mr. Trump also believes his veto power could eventually force Democrats to cut bipartisan deals with him, should they make gains.
“Historically, you veto for a couple of months and then they come and say, ‘We’ve got to make a deal,’” Mr. Trump said.
Mr. Trump’s comments signal that there will likely be a dramatic showdown between the executive branch and Congress next year, should Democrats win majorities in each respective chamber, and he asserted that he could ramp up his use of executive power if Democrats try to constrain him on Capitol Hill.
Two people close to Mr. Trump, who requested anonymity to discuss private conversations, said discussions over executive actions have taken place at the White House in recent weeks, with deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller and Office of Management and Budget Director Russell Vought central figures in those talks. The range of issues being considered for further executive action includes immigration and trade, the people said.
One person close to the president said that “while Democrats may win power,” Mr. Trump will “keep the power to do almost everything he wants” next year on trade, the border, managing the federal government and handling U.S. foreign policy and national security.
Regarding the midterm elections, Mr. Trump said he believes he did everything he could to help Republicans across the country in recent weeks, and said his efforts helped to recast the elections as a possible blue wave into something more competitive.
“If you remember, about 30, 40 days ago, people were saying it’s going to be a big loss, and now people are talking about, like we could even win it,” Mr. Trump said. “I think the tour made a big difference. I did 29 days, 33 of these things, and they were all massive rallies, they were big rallies. No one has ever done anything like it. And I think we got the word out. I think we got the enthusiasm out, too.”
When asked about his motivation for his extensive tour of campaign stops, Mr. Trump said, “I just think that we’re doing so well that I didn’t want to see anything get in the way of what we’ve done,” and he argued that the passage of last year’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act and his efforts on trade are driving growth in different economic sectors.
The president did not make any firm predictions about Tuesday’s outcome.
“We’ll have to see,” Mr. Trump said, noting that most Election Days come with surprises and unforeseen developments. “Will we win? We have a good chance. But we’re not going to be embarrassed.”
Mr. Trump spent part of Monday delivering a speech in front of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool in Washington, D.C., where he talked at length about his push to renovate, clean or rebuild key structures at the White House and around the capital.
In the Tuesday interview, Mr. Trump said his speech was part of his desire to show the American people that he is using skills as a lifelong developer to redevelop Washington for their use.
“Obama criticized me,” Mr. Trump said, referring to former President Barack Obama’s criticism of Mr. Trump’s activity. “But we had broken windows by the front door” at the White House, he said, and “it was such a sad thing to look at.”
“It’s the White House,” Mr. Trump said. “You can’t have an area where the stone is cracked and half-falling off the side of the wall. And I fixed it. You know, I’m very good at that.”
“I actually enjoy doing it,” Mr. Trump said. “A lot of people, that doesn’t relax them, it makes them crazy, but with me, it relaxes me because I really do it well, and the White House is now pristine.”
When asked about what his focus is for 2027, in terms of renovations in and around Washington, the president said he expects to finish the new ballroom at the White House and to begin work on his proposed 250-foot arch, which has faced legal challenges.
“I’ll be finishing that,” Mr. Trump said of the ballroom. “It’s a ballroom and military complex.” As for the arch, “We hopefully will be starting that.”
“It’s a celebration of success,” Mr. Trump said of the planned arch.
“I do that stuff, it’s fun for me, but it’s important,” Mr. Trump said of his many building initiatives, and he framed his projects as a larger attempt to spruce up the country.
“We had 97 places where we had ‘S-G,’ which means ‘serious graffiti,’” Mr. Trump said of his administration’s cleanup of Washington, D.C. “Ninety-seven places, like at the base of the Supreme Court.”
As for his own political future, Mr. Trump said he is not yet talking with his advisers about pursuing a potential 2028 campaign, which would face steep constitutional and legal hurdles, and, for now, said the GOP has a “very good bench” of possible candidates.
