During a phone call on POLITICO Elections Live, the US president said he is “not even a little bit” worried that opposition lawmakers will attempt to remove him from office following the recent midterm elections. Trump dismissed the prospect of impeachment as having no basis, questioning why he would be targeted for leading a “successful country.”
The remarks follow a trend of shifting dynamics as Trump signaled he would be open to cooperating with the Democratic party to avoid a legislative stalemate over the next 2 years. While he noted that opposition lawmakers have already contacted him to begin policy talks, Trump warned that he would utilize his veto power to block any bills he deems inadequate if the new congressional majority acts in a “destructive” manner.
