Rattled Trump Reveals Petty Revenge Plan if He Loses
Fox News President Donald Trump has revealed how he will behave if Republicans lose control of the House and the Senate after November’s midterm elections.
Trump, 80, is attempting to salvage the GOP’s fortunes amid his diabolical polling figures and as his war on Iran sends gas prices soaring.
On Thursday, CNN chief data analyst Harry Enten called Trump’s approval rating at this stage in his second presidency “historically atrocious.” The president was interviewed by a fawning Laura Ingraham on Thursday, speaking to the Fox News host at the Republican midterm convention in Dallas.
Ingraham asked if he believed his “whole legacy is on the line” with the results of the Nov.
3 elections, at which Trump has told supporters to vote like he is on the ballot.
“Pretend I’m on the ticket,” Trump said on Thursday.
“Because in a way, I am on the ballot.” “Look, I’m campaigning for other people,” Trump told Ingraham, before admitting that if the GOP loses control of Congress he will be “a block” for Democrats.
“I’ll end up being a blocker,” he said.
“I’ll block all their bad stuff for two years.
It won’t be the same, but I’ll be a blocker.
What can I tell you?” Trump added he would “probably be able to make deals” with Democrats, saying, “You know, they’re gonna want stuff... you make deals.
So, it’s not as dire....maybe it is as dire?” Ingraham then clarified she was talking about “impeach investigations” when referring to his legacy, suggesting Democrats may take action against Trump.
“They’ll try and impeach,” Trump said.
“They had a guy on the other day, `Yeah, I think we’ll try and impeach Trump’.
