President Trump Claims He's Ready to Go to War...with Democrats
After initially proposing that his shorthanded nature in the coming 2019 Congress would be a negotiating advantage, the President is now setting a bit of a different tone in terms of the incoming democratic majority.
The “blue wave” that the left was banking on during the midterm elections never did develop, but the left still managed to eek out a majority in the House of Representatives that could wreak havoc on President Trump’s agenda moving forward. Worse still, this reality gives the far left, radicalized members of Congress an opportunity to earnestly discuss bringing Trumpian progress to its knees with flippant and foolish impeachment proceedings…something that the American people are not going to be thrilled about.
The President isn’t taking that looming threat lightly, however, and unleashed a series of threats against the democrats in with only weeks left before the incoming class takes over.
In a wide-ranging, exclusive interview with The Post, President Trump said Wednesday that if House Democrats launched probes into his administration — which he called “presidential harassment” — they’d pay a heavy price.
“If they go down the presidential harassment track, if they want go and harass the president and the administration, I think that would be the best thing that would happen to me. I’m a counter-puncher and I will hit them so hard they’d never been hit like that,” he said during a 36-minute Oval Office sitdown.
One of the President’s favorite threats came back into vogue during the interview as well.
The commander-in-chief said he could declassify FISA warrant applications and other documents from Robert Mueller’s probe — and predicted the disclosure would expose the FBI, the Justice Department and the Clinton campaign as being in cahoots to set him up.

The President is facing unprecedented pressure in recent weeks, as Robert Mueller’s Russia probe looks to be entering its final stages concurrently with the coming Democratically-held House.
