Trump Vows Smooth Sailing Ahead
President Donald Trump has promised that the United States will do just fine during the last two years of his term. He also made clear he plans to use his veto power often, now that Democrats hold both chambers of Congress.
“I think we’re going to be fine over the next two years. We have a very powerful tool, and that’s the veto power, and I intend to use it very often,” he said in an interview with Salem News.
Trump Already Branded Himself “Mr. Veto”
