Trump At White House After Midterm Defeat: Move To Impeach Me Would Backfire On Democrats

U.S. President Donald Trump dismissed concerns that Democrats would seek to impeach him following their victories in the midterm elections.

Speaking at the White House for the first time since the results were announced on Wednesday, November 4, Trump said he was “not even a little bit” concerned about the possibility of impeachment, warning that such a move would backfire politically on Democrats.

“No, no, no, not even a little bit,” Trump said when asked whether he was worried about Democrats pursuing impeachment.

“I think it would destroy the Democratic Party if they did that, because it would be impeachment for no reason. For what? For having a successful country?” he added.

Trump also suggested he could work with Democrats in Congress, provided they did not seek to obstruct his administration.

“I’ll get along probably with the Democrats unless they want to be destructive, but I have the power of the veto,” he said.

His remarks came after Democrats secured control of both the Senate and the House of Representatives in the midterm elections on Tuesday, November 3.
