Trump says he'll become 'Mr. Veto' if Dems gain control of Congress
Appearing on a New York Post podcast, Pod Force One, which was taped on Friday, President Donald Trump said he would be "Mr. Veto" if Democrats were to regain control of Congress.
Asked if he would be able to "work to Democrats" if they win the majority in Congress, Trump responded, "Well, if that happens, I guess I'll become Mr. Veto."
"I'm not gonna let them -- And then at some point, we'll probably make deals. That's what's happened. I mean, this is this wouldn't be the first time you'll have a president, and he won't have the House or the Senate, they'll be sending stuff up. You veto it, and eventually, after a month or two of getting all vetoed, you know, it's waste. They just waste. They come over and you make a deal. I think that probably would happen, but hopefully, we don't have to worry about that," the president said.
Earlier in the interview, Trump also noted his veto power.
"Look, if we didn't win, I think we're going to do great. But if we didn't win, I veto everything. I'll be vetoing, vetoing. Then they'll come along, and we'll probably make some deals along the way. But it wouldn't be as good,” he said.
Trump acknowledged that the president's party usually loses seats in midterm elections, but highlighted his intense travel schedule leading up to the midterms.
"When you are president, Republican or Democrat, good or bad, they don't do well at midterms. I don't know why. Doesn't make sense. Never made sense, and we'll see how we do. But I've never worked the midterms like I have this one," Trump said.
