President Donald Trump threatened to veto every piece of legislation put forward during the second half of his administration if Democrats flip control of the House or Senate during next month’s midterm elections.
“Well, I think the Republicans are going to win. But if there was, you call it gridlock, what happens is I veto everything,” Trump told reporters Friday morning while speaking on the South Lawn. “And then the Democrats come and they want to make a deal. So we’ll work it out.”
Historical precedent and polling data suggest Democrats are on the cusp of flipping at least the House next month and possibly the Senate, due to public frustration over the Iran war and high costs of living.
So, they will override his veto
If sanity returns and Trump doesn’t get to have a third term, all the Republicans will just line up to say they were secretly working against Trump this whole time, which will make (most of) them look good to their base.
Then it’s up to us to show up with receipts
They’ll probably either not care or accuse the receipts of being AI - whatever FOX tells them to do.
Just look at JD Vance and Ted Cruz, both reasonably popular with MAGA Republicans despite openly expressing their contempt for him before he was elected.
“Democrats want to fall in love; Republicans just fall in line.”
So we should expect them to forget (or “forget”), but I never will.
