Trumps thanks Supreme Court for unanimous decision to let him stay on Colorado ballot

I want to start by thanking the Supreme Court for its unanimous decision today it was a very important decision we’re very well-crafted and I think it will go a long way toward bringing our country together which our country needs and they worked long they worked hard and frankly they worked very

Quickly on something that will be spoken about a 100 years from now and 200 years from now extremely important essentially you cannot take somebody out of a race because an opponent would like to have it that way and it has nothing to do with the fact that it’s the leading

Candidate whether it was the leading candidate or a candidate that was well down on the totem pole you cannot take somebody out of a race the voters can take the person out of the race very quickly but a court shouldn’t be doing that and the Supreme Court saw that very

Well and another thing that will be coming up very soon will be immunity for a president and not immunity for me but for any president if a president doesn’t have full immunity you really don’t have a president because nobody that is serving in that office will have the

Courage to make in many cases what would be the right decision or it could be the wrong decision it could be in some cases the wrong decision but they have to make decisions and they have to make them free of all Terror that can be reigned

Upon them when they leave office or even before they leave office and some decisions are very tough I can tell you that as a president that some decisions to make are very tough I will say that President Biden number one stop weaponization fight your fight yourself don’t use prosecutors and judges to go

After your opponent to try and damage your opponent so you can win an election our country is much bigger than that that the other thing I say to President Biden close the borders now this is not sustainable for our country it’s not sustainable for our cities our country is under

Siege they’re hurting our country horribly and we’ve become a laughing stock all over the world so I say respectfully to President Biden you have the authorization right now I did it I didn’t go to Congress and say do I have the right to close I fought Congress on

It close the borders you can do it right now you have everything use my policies my policies were great everybody said it use my policies so just to finish I have great respect for the Supreme Court and I want to just thank them for working so quickly and uh so diligently and so

Brilliantly and again this is a unifying Factor everybody now is together and they can go after me as a politician they can go after me with votes but they’re not going to go after me with that kind of lawsuit that takes somebody out of a race who’s leading in this case but even

If the person wasn’t leading I want to stop Wars I want to stop the war in Ukraine with Russia I want to stop what’s happening in Israel Israel would have never been attacked if I were president Ukraine would have never ever been attacked If I Was President um you wouldn’t have had

Inflation inflation was caused by high energy prices I had low energy prices I would have kept them there very easily and it probably maybe caused the war with Ukraine because Putin became Rich all of a sudden it went up so much and I I watched President Biden talking

About Putin Putin became very rich because at $100 a barrel he’s got so much money to fight a war at $40 a barrel he doesn’t have the money to fight a war but he wouldn’t have done it anyway because I told him not to thank you all very much I apprciate

Former U.S. President Donald Trump welcomed the decision by the U.S. Supreme Court barring states from disqualifying candidates for federal office under a constitutional provision involving insurrection and reversing Colorado’s exclusion of him from its ballot.

The justices handed Trump a major victory when they unanimously overturned a December 19 decision by Colorado’s top court to kick the former president off the state’s Tuesday Republican primary ballot after finding that the U.S. Constitution’s 14th Amendment disqualified him from again holding public office. The Colorado court had found that Trump took part in an insurrection for inciting and supporting the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol by his supporters.

The 14th Amendment’s Section 3 bars from office any “officer of the United States” who took an oath “to support the Constitution of the United States” and then “engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof.”

The justices determined that only Congress can enforce the constitutional provision against federal officeholders and candidates. But four of the nine justices, including the court’s three liberal members, faulted the rest of the court for announcing rules limiting how the provision may be enforced in the future.

The ruling came five days after the justices agreed to decide Trump’s claim of immunity from prosecution on charges related to trying to overturn his 2020 election loss to Biden. The court, whose 6-3 conservative majority includes three Trump appointees,

The ruling was issued on the eve of Super Tuesday, the day in the U.S. presidential primary cycle when the most states hold party nominating contests.

Trump was also barred from the ballot in Maine and Illinois based on the 14th Amendment. Those decisions were put on hold pending the Supreme Court’s ruling in the Colorado case.
