Donald Trump Is Already Threatening The Newly Democrat-Led House
By Breanna Edwards ·
It took less than 24 hours for President Donald Trump to start lobbing threats at the newly Democrat-led House of Representatives. The Democrats are expected to use their newfound power to investigate the president, perhaps look into his tax returns, investigate alleged corruption and even into the allegations of his 2016 campaign colluding with Russia…among other things, but looks like Trump is trying to squash that train of thought before it even starts. “If the Democrats think they are going to waste Taxpayer Money investigating us at the House level, then we will likewise be forced to consider investigating them for all of the leaks of Classified Information, and much else, at the Senate level,” the president tweeted bright and early this morning. “Two can play that game!” House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi spoke out on the Democrats’ projected takeover during a watch party in the nation’s capital on Tuesday night, noting that the new Democratic majority would take “strong legislative action” to lower the price of prescription drugs, invest in infrastructure and “drain the swamp of dark interest money.”

“Tomorrow will be a new day in America,” she told the crowd, according to USA Today. Nonetheless, she did not mention anything about investigating Trump in depth, only noting that this win for the party was about “restoring the constitutional checks and balances to the Trump administration.”

Despite his harsh words at Democrats this morning, Trump apparently is a fan of Pelosi, signaling that she should become the next House Speaker. The President is expected to do a news conference at the White House at 11:30 a.m. to discuss the outcome of the Midterms, which he has labeled a “success” for his party, per his tweets. And of course he still had time to slam the “nasty and hostile” media.
