WASHINGTON, DC: With Democrats potentially poised to take control of Congress, President Donald Trump's legislative agenda could face serious roadblocks. However, the president appears to have already devised a strategy to keep his plans moving.
Trump said he would use his veto powers to block Democrats' legislative agenda if they manage to gain control of both chambers of Congress. He suggested that repeatedly rejecting legislation could eventually push lawmakers towards negotiations and compromises.
Republicans currently hold narrow majorities in both chambers, with a 218-214 advantage in the House and a 53-47 edge in the Senate.
Trump says he will become 'Mr. Veto' if Democrats take control of Congress
The Commander-in-Chief was speaking with The New York Post's Miranda Devine on her 'Pod Force One' podcast when he was asked how he would advance his agenda if Democrats secured control of Congress.
"I guess I'll become Mr. Veto," Trump said, suggesting that repeated presidential vetoes could eventually push lawmakers towards negotiations and compromises.
"And then at some point, we'll probably make deals. That's what’s happened. I mean, this wouldn't be the first time," he added.
He further explained how he expected such a standoff to unfold.
"They'll be sending stuff up. You veto it," he remarked.
"And eventually, after a month or two of getting all vetoed, they're just wasting [time], they come over, and you make a deal. I think that probably would happen, but hopefully we don't have to worry about that," Trump insisted.
Two years into his second term, Trump has vetoed only two bills. He had vetoed 10 bills during his first term.
Trump says Democrats will 'have transgender for everyone'
If Democrats regain control of either chamber, they have vowed to launch a series of investigations into Trump, his administration and several of his allies.
Despite the prospect of intensified congressional scrutiny, Trump remains confident that Republicans can retain control of both chambers as he ramps up his midterm campaign blitz across the country.
"They want to get rid of your Second Amendment, have transgender for everyone," he said of the Democrats.
Trump also echoed Elon Musk's recent warning that a Democratic sweep in the midterm elections could leave the country "maybe forever destroyed."
He claimed Democrats want to make Puerto Rico and Washington, DC, states, expand the size of the Supreme Court and eliminate the Senate filibuster, moves he argued would shut Republicans out of power.
Trump acknowledges Democrats could call him a lame duck
During the interview, Trump also acknowledged that Democrats would likely portray him as a lame duck during his final two years in office, while admitting that he wished he could run for president again.
"I'd love to run again if I had the chance, but the language is very exacting," he said, referring to the term limits in the 22nd Amendment of the Constitution.
"They had a poll the other day where I'd beat everybody by so much, I'd love to run, but it's fine. You know, we have more than two years left. That's a long time. You can do a lot in that period of time, and you've seen the job we've done."
