US President Donald Trump has said he is “not even a little bit” concerned about the prospect of another impeachment, warning that a new push by Democrats would “destroy” their party.
“I think it would destroy the Democrat Party if they did that,” Trump told reporters on Wednesday, November 4. “Impeachment for no reason. What? For having a successful country?”
Trump was speaking at the White House ballroom construction site, where crews were raising the final steel beam for the new ballroom. It was his first public appearance taking reporters’ questions since Democrats swept to control of both the House of Representatives and the Senate in Tuesday’s midterm elections.
Why impeachment is being discussed
Democrats have made clear they intend to use their new congressional majorities to issue subpoenas and hold hearings focused on the president and his allies, CNN reported. That prospect has revived discussion of impeachment, even though no formal impeachment effort has been launched by the incoming majority.
Trump has already been through two impeachment trials during his first term, and people in the West Wing believe he is personally expecting the worst from Democratic investigations, according to CNN’s reporting. In public, however, he struck a dismissive tone.
“No, no, no, not even a little bit,” he said when asked whether he was worried about Democrats pursuing impeachment, TRT World reported.
A conditional offer to work together
Alongside the warning, Trump offered a conditional note on working with the incoming Democratic majority.
“I’ll get along probably with the Democrats unless they want to be destructive, but I have the power of the veto,” he said, adding that Democratic leaders had already called and wanted to talk.
The remarks frame the next phase of his presidency: a president who has lost both chambers of Congress, but who retains the veto, insisting he is unbothered by the investigations to come while warning his opponents that an impeachment push would backfire on them politically.
What is known, and what is not
Confirmed: Trump’s exact warning, his “not even a little bit” answer, the venue (the White House ballroom site), and the timing (his first on-camera remarks since the midterm results). Democrats’ stated intention to pursue investigations is reported, not yet a formal impeachment process. Whether any impeachment effort is actually launched, and on what grounds, remains unknown — and this article does not present Trump’s prediction that it would “destroy” his opponents’ party as a fact about what would happen.
