Speaking to reporters on Wednesday afternoon at the White House lawn during a tour of the new ballroom construction project, President Trump addressed questions regarding potential impeachment over his unilateral decisions on immigration and military operations in Iran. "I'm not worried even a little bit," Trump stated. "I think it would destroy the Democratic Party if they did that—impeachment for no reason. For what? For having a successful country? Our country is now more successful than anytime in its history."

Despite the Democratic sweep of both the House of Representatives and the Senate, Trump indicated a willingness to work with opposition lawmakers, while reminding them of his executive power: "I'll get along probably with the Democrats unless they want to be destructive, but I have the power of the veto." Addressing the election outcomes, Trump reflected, "If I was on the ballot, I would have won. We couldn't transfer that love to the individual candidates."**
