ERICA L. GREEN, TYLER PAGER2026年11月4日特朗普总统周日在艾奥瓦州迪比克的一场竞选集会上。 Doug Mills/The New York TimesPresident Trump said on Tuesday night that he was “absolutely willing” to accept the results of the midterm elections, and was prepared to work with Democrats.特朗普总统周二晚间表示，他“绝对愿意”接受中期选举结果，并准备与民主党人合作。“We’ll, you know, look forward to working with them,” he said in a phone interview with The New York Times. “We’ll probably work something out.”“我们，你知道，期待跟他们合作，”他在接受《纽约时报》电话采访时说。“我们大概能商量出一些办法。”Mr. Trump blamed Republican losses on the fact that he was not on the ballot, and called his decision to go to war with Iran a “very wise decision.”特朗普把共和党的失利归咎于自己未出现在选票上，并称自己对伊朗开战的决定是“非常明智的决定”。He said he had no regrets about endorsing candidates such as Senator Darline Graham, Republican of South Carolina, and Ken Paxton, the Republican attorney general of Texas, who both lost their Senate bids.他说，自己对支持南卡罗来纳州共和党参议员达琳·格雷厄姆和得克萨斯州共和党总检察长肯·帕克斯顿等人毫不后悔，尽管这两位候选人最终均在参议院竞选中落败。Mr. Trump spoke to The Times shortly before 10:30 p.m. on Tuesday, while he was watching election results at the White House. Democrats were on track to take control of the House and the Senate.周二晚上10点30分前不久，特朗普在白宫观看选举结果时接受了《纽约时报》的采访。当时民主党正有望掌控众议院和参议院。“I’m just looking at these results as I’m talking,” he said. “I see that Darline lost. Wow, that’s amazing. How do you think Lindsey would have done if he ran?” he added, referring to Senator Lindsey Graham, who died in July.“我正一边说话一边看结果，”他说。“我看到达琳输了。哇，太惊人了。你觉得如果林赛参选，他的表现会怎么样？”他还说。这里他指的是今年7月去世的参议员林赛·格雷厄姆。Mr. Trump added that he believed that Mr. Graham most likely would have prevailed in his race.特朗普还表示，他认为林赛·格雷厄姆很可能在选举中获胜。In the short conversation with The Times, the president sounded subdued as he absorbed decisive Democratic wins across the country.在与《纽约时报》的简短交谈中，面对民主党在全国范围内的压倒性胜利，总统显得情绪低落。But he insisted that he regretted nothing about the first two years of his second term, despite the widespread Republican defeats. “I consider it to be the most successful two-year period in the history of any president,” he said.但他坚称，尽管共和党遭遇了全面挫败，他对第二任期前两年没有什么遗憾。“我认为这是任何总统历史上最成功的两年时期，”他说。Mr. Trump’s pledge to accept the results of the elections followed his sustained efforts over the last year to sow doubt about the security of elections. On Tuesday, the Department of Homeland Security posted a series of social media messages vowing to arrest noncitizen voters, despite the fact that the administration had struggled to find them.特朗普承诺接受选举结果，此前他在过去一年中一直不遗余力地散布对选举安全性的质疑。周二，国土安全部在社交媒体上发布了一系列信息，誓言逮捕非公民选民，尽管事实上本届政府一直难以找到这类选民。周一，特朗普在选举前最后一次公开露面，在倒影池宣传他在改造华盛顿方面取得的成就。The president’s comments came after he huddled inside the White House’s East Room Tuesday night with some of his top aides, including Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Attorney General Todd Blanche and Howard Lutnick, the commerce secretary, to watch the results come in. Some in attendance described it as a “dark” and “funereal” atmosphere.总统发表上述言论前，于周二晚上在白宫东厅与一些高级助手聚在一起观看计票结果出炉，其中包括副总统万斯、国务卿鲁比奥、司法部长托德·布兰奇和商务部长霍华德·卢特尼克。一些在场者形容气氛“阴暗”且“像葬礼一样”。Some guests started leaving before 10 p.m., according to people with knowledge of the departures. Other allies of Mr. Trump’s said privately that they were happy they were out of town.据知情人士透露，一些客人不到晚上10点就开始离场。特朗普的其他盟友私下表示，他们庆幸自己不在华盛顿。Throughout the evening, Mr. Trump vented his frustration at political aides and accused them of giving him bad information about polling in the lead-up to the elections, according to people with knowledge of his remarks, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe the private conversations.据要求匿名描述私下谈话的知情人士透露，整个晚上，特朗普对政治助手发泄不满，指责他们在选举前提供了关于民调的糟糕信息。It was not clear what he meant: Aides to Mr. Trump had spoken openly about the difficult environment for Republicans.目前不清楚他是什么意思：特朗普的助手此前曾公开谈到共和党面临的艰难局面。A White House official disputed the idea that the president was frustrated with his advisers.一名白宫官员驳斥了总统对顾问感到沮丧的说法。In his interview with The Times, the president said that he believed Republicans suffered losses because he was not on the ballot.在接受《纽约时报》采访时，总统说，他认为共和党之所以失利，是因为他本人不在选票上。“I wasn’t on the ticket, and because I wasn’t on the ticket, we couldn’t get enough people out to vote,” he said.“我不在选票上，因为我不在选票上，我们没法让足够多的人出来投票，”他说。He also said he did not regret the decision to go to war with Iran and “would do that again.” But he acknowledged that voters were unhappy about gas prices.他还说，他不后悔对伊朗开战的决定，并且“如果重来一次还会这么做”。但他承认，选民对汽油价格不满。“They don’t mind the Iran, but they probably weren’t happy — they weren't happy with the oil price,” Mr. Trump said. “So you know, it’s just one of those things. But I don’t regret that decision at all. In fact, you know, that’s a decision that was a very wise decision for the future of the country and the world.”“他们不介意伊朗，但他们可能不高兴——他们对油价不高兴，”特朗普说。“所以你知道，这只是其中一件事。但我一点也不后悔那个决定。事实上，你知道，那是一个对国家的未来和世界的未来都非常明智的决定。”Mr. Trump said Democrats had already reached out to talk to him about working together, though he declined to identify any of them by name. He said he thought they could work together on the debt ceiling.特朗普说，民主党人已经主动联系他，商谈合作事宜，但他拒绝说出任何具体人物的名字。他说，他认为双方可以在债务上限问题上合作。“I have total veto power, so they have to come to us,” he said. “And if they have some good ideas, I’m certainly open to working.”“我有完全的否决权，所以他们必须来找我们，”他说。“如果他们有什么好主意，我当然愿意合作。”The bleak scene capped a day when the president remained out of public view, awaiting the results of a campaign that he insisted should be seen as a referendum on him.阴沉的场面为这一天画上句号。总统当天没有公开露面，等待着选举结果出炉，而他一直坚称，这场选举应被视为对他本人的一次公投。 Mr. Trump kicked off the day by making a final pitch to voters in a call to a friendly television program, “Fox & Friends,” promoting his administration’s immigration crackdown and claiming that his policies had boosted the economy.当天早些时候，特朗普通过电话连线与他关系友好的电视节目《福克斯与朋友们》，向选民作最后的拉票。他宣传了政府严厉打击非法移民的行动，并声称自己的政策提振了经济。“Inflation is solved,” Mr. Trump asserted, even though consumer prices had surged since he took office, rising 3.7 percent in September from a year earlier, driven in part by high energy costs stemming from the war with Iran.“通胀已经解决，”特朗普断言，尽管自他上任以来消费价格飙升，9月同比上涨3.7%，部分原因是与伊朗战争导致的能源成本居高不下。The United States, he added, was “the hottest country in the world.”他还说，美国是“世界上最炙手可热的国家”。The dissonance between the president’s rosy assessments and the affordability worries of many voters underscored Mr. Trump’s incongruous closing argument.总统对经济的乐观评价与许多选民对生活负担的担忧形成鲜明反差，凸显了特朗普在竞选最后阶段的论调与现实之间的脱节。He repeatedly mocked the concerns about affordability, blamed his predecessors for inflation and falsely claimed that grocery and gas prices were falling. He also said that rising gas prices were a negligible price to pay for the war with Iran, which he repeatedly claimed the United States had already won. (On Monday, Mr. Trump dismissed the idea that it was even a war.)他一再嘲笑人们对生活成本的担忧，将通胀归咎于前几任总统，并错误地声称食品杂货和汽油价格正在下降。他还说，汽油价格上涨是与伊朗战争可以忽略不计的代价，并一再声称美国已经赢得了这场战争。（周一，特朗普甚至否认这是一场战争。） In one of the strangest turns of the campaign, Mr. Trump made his assessments of the male physique a mainstay of his stump speech, focusing in particular on the backside of Senator Jon Husted, Republican of Ohio.这场竞选最离奇的情节之一，是特朗普将自己对男性身材的品评变成了竞选演讲中的固定内容，他尤其关注俄亥俄州共和党参议员乔恩·赫斯特德的臀部。Rarely did Mr. Trump substantively address the issues that voters said were the most pressing in their lives, or acknowledge his own unpopularity. Heading into the election, views of his handling of the economy — one of his biggest strengths when he ran two years ago — were underwater. Majorities disapproved of his handling of tariffs, the economy, gas prices, the cost of living and the Iran war.特朗普很少认真回应选民所说的生活中最紧迫的问题，也很少承认自己并不受欢迎。选举临近时，选民对他处理经济问题的评价已是负面居多，而这原本是他两年前竞选时最大的优势之一。多数选民不认可他在关税、经济、汽油价格、生活成本和对伊朗战争等问题上的表现。As he traveled the country, the president promised giveaways, floating $500 Obamacare “refund” checks and $5,000 for every American adult — called the “Trump Dividend” — if Republicans retained control of Congress.在全国各地奔走拉票期间，特朗普承诺向民众发放现金福利，提出过每人500美元的奥巴马医改“退款”支票，还表示，如果共和党继续控制国会，将向每位美国成年人发放5000美元，称之为“特朗普红利”。 周二傍晚，一名海军陆战队哨兵站在白宫西翼门外。At the center of the president’s pitch was that Americans should think of their votes as going to him. While headlining 30 rallies across the country, Mr. Trump pleaded with his base. “Pretend I’m on the ballot,” he often said.特朗普拉票的核心诉求，是希望美国人应当把自己的选票想成是投给他的。在全国主持30场竞选集会期间，他不断恳求自己的基本盘选民。“就当我的名字也在选票上。”他经常这样说。But in the waning days of the campaign, Mr. Trump openly complained about the grueling pace. At a rally in Florida on Friday, he said that he thought it would be his last of the cycle, and that he would be able to relax afterward. “Twenty-eight days in a row of this crap is a lot,” the president said.但在竞选进入最后阶段时，特朗普公开抱怨密集的行程令他疲惫不堪。周五在佛罗里达州的一场集会上，他说自己以为这将是本轮选举周期的最后一场集会，之后终于可以放松一下了。“连续28天干这种破事，实在够呛，”特朗普说。The day before the election, Mr. Trump chose to make his final public appearance at the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, a troubled project that had become emblematic of his administration’s willingness to skirt laws and target dissent to further his efforts to remake the capital.选举前一天，特朗普选择在林肯纪念堂倒影池进行最后一次公开露面。这个麻烦不断的工程项目，已经成为特朗普政府为改造首都而不惜绕开法律、打压异议的一个典型例子。“We gave this a very strong shot,” he said of the election.谈到这场选举，他说：“我们已经尽了很大的努力。” “America is ready to go,” Mr. Trump added. “They’re ready to vote. I hope they’re ready to do the right thing.”“美国准备好了，”特朗普补充说。“他们准备好投票了。我希望他们准备好做正确的事。”Throughout Election Day, the White House sent out a flurry of news releases praising Mr. Trump’s accomplishments, including one about his “relentless travel schedule.”选举日当天，白宫接连发布大量新闻稿，赞扬特朗普的政绩，其中一篇还特别提到了他“马不停蹄的行程安排”。But as the day wore on, Mr. Trump’s agitation burst through in sharply worded social media posts. He lashed out about coverage of his speech at the Reflecting Pool, lobbing insults at Representative Ted Lieu, Democrat of California, and at The Daily Mail for allegedly misrepresenting a joke he had made about wanting to name the landmark after himself.但随着时间推移，特朗普越来越难以掩饰自己的焦躁，在社交媒体上发表了一连串措辞尖锐的帖子。他对媒体报道自己在倒影池的讲话大发雷霆，辱骂加利福尼亚州民主党众议员刘云平和英国《每日邮报》，指责他们歪曲了他开玩笑说要以自己的名字重新命名这处地标的言论。He appeared optimistic at one point in the day, when he called attention to results in Guam, where a Republican was poised to become governor. “Wow, hopefully that’s an indication for things to come!” he wrote.当天有一度，他似乎颇为乐观，因为关岛的选举结果显示，一名共和党人有望当选总督。他特意提及这一消息，写道：“哇，希望这是接下来选举结果的好兆头！”特朗普周日在堪萨斯州为中期选举造势，背景是卡塔尔捐赠的豪华波音747专机。By early evening, as the president prepared to host a watch party in the East Room, he turned his ire on Fox News, calling a commentator “DUMB AS A ROCK.” He said that he would change the channel until that “LOSER is off the air.” (He added that he would turn back later.)到傍晚，总统准备在白宫东厅举办观选派对时，他把怒火转向福克斯新闻，骂一名评论员“蠢得像块石头”。他说他会换台，直到那个“失败者”不再上节目。（他又说稍后会换回来。）Shortly after, he was back to railing about the cable channel, decrying its poll questions and complaining that its ratings were low because it spent “too much time covering the Trump Deranged Dumocrats!”没过多久，他又开始抨击这家有线新闻频道，指责其民调问题设置不当，并抱怨福克斯新闻收视率低迷，是因为它花了“太多时间报道那些患有‘特朗普谵妄症’的民主党蠢货！”Maggie Haberman对本文有报道贡献。Erica L.
