    Trump now calls himself Mr Veto, vowing to veto every bill the newly elected Congress passes.

    I believe this will push Democrats to prioritize issues where many Republicans break with Trump, to build a veto-proof two-thirds majority behind each bill.

    We will likely see a vote to force the full release of the Epstein files. Few politicians will side with Trump on that toxic issue, and with two-thirds in favor, Congress demonstrates its power and makes Trump's veto strategy backfire.

    @randahl the Dems may also pursue a "flood the zone" type if strategy too depending on his responsive leadership is to new caucus members.

    There will certainly be motions on things like Epstein Files, Canadian Import tariffs etc. crafted to be veto-proof, but I wouldn't be surprised if they went in guns blazing with a whole bunch of targeted bills with little chance of getting past a veto yet have broad public support like defunding ICE, healthcare reform and so on.

    Over the next 2 years that approach could build up very unflattering voting records for GOP congress critters up for election in 2028 that could be effectively used against them.

    @randahl The wild thing to me is how Congress can only do one or two things per year. It's almost as if everyone there is trying to extract their pound of flesh from every bill going past.

    @randahl the first thing the Democrats should do when they take over congress is pass a $5000 bonus check for all adult voters in the US and then wait for him to veto it.

    @randahl Don’t fool yourself. The people in those files are rich and powerful. Republicans will not be turning on Leon Black or
    Harlan Crow et al.

    @randahl just name every bill "<Trump> xyz" and see how quickly the pedo king goes back on his veto, this is where the dems have to get creative dealing with a narcissist.
