'They'll become garbage': Trump says he'll become 'Mr. Veto' if Democrats win midterms

US President Donald Trump has said he would use his veto powers to block legislation if Democrats gain control of both chambers of Congress in the midterm elections.Speaking to The New York Post's Miranda Devine on her Pod Force One podcast, Trump outlined how he would respond if Democrats secured control of the House of Representatives and Senate. Excerpts from the interview were aired on Fox News, while the full episode is scheduled to be released on Monday.“If that happens, I believe I'll be Mr. Veto. I'll stop them from establishing themselves, and then we'll probably make a deal,” Trump said.He described a possible standoff in which Democrats would send legislation to the White House and he would reject it, eventually prompting lawmakers to negotiate.“They'll send bills, I'll veto them, and at some point, a month or two later, they'll become garbage. Then you bring them together and make a deal,” the president said.Trump also said: “I'm not going to let them ruin it,” while suggesting that a Democratic majority would not necessarily prevent his administration from reaching agreements with lawmakers.Trump said the approach would not be unprecedented, adding that negotiations could follow repeated vetoes. “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 said.Trump has issued two vetoes so far during his second term. He vetoed 10 bills during his first term in office.You use AI every day. Now get your AI Quotient. Take the AIQ test.
