President Donald Trump spent early Tuesday night making desperate phone calls and blasting Fox News before midterm election results came in.
“I have the ultimate power — it’s called ‘veto,’” President Trump told CBS News in a phone interview before polls first began to close in some states. Already, Trump appeared to make excuses for a potentially massive Republican loss.
Trump also called the Financial Times, assuring reporter Edward Lucas that the U.S. has no immediate plans to strike Iran, the Middle East country Trump started a war with in February.
Trump had a particular grudge against Fox News Tuesday night, texting commentator Greg Gutfeld about his disdain for liberal Fox News commentator Jessica Tarlov.
Spoiler, a presidential veto isn’t the be-all-end-all. It can be overturned by a 2/3 majority in both houses. Not saying it wouldn’t be super difficult to pull off but it is still there.
There were already some republicans that didn’t like Trump. With these results there will more opportunistic parasites that will look to jump ship so maybe possible if democrats play the manipulation game right.
Im sure some will gleefully flee that sinking ship and look out for their themselves in their next election cycle. Trump and maga are toxic to be associated with.
lol.
What, should they instead try to connect with the common sense and conscience of republicans that were previously Trump supporters? Only thing those people understand is probably power and fear.
No, I’m not laughing at the strategy. I’m laughing at the idea that the democrats will implement the strategy correctly.
But hey, crazier things have happened.
