Washington, Jan 28 (NationPress) US President Donald Trump suggested that if the Democrats regain control of Congress, they would “likely attempt to impeach me” while he staunchly defended his administration's tariffs, immigration policies, and crime reduction initiatives as key achievements during what he proclaimed a record-breaking year in office.

In a conversation with Fox News anchor Will Cain, Trump noted that historically, presidents tend to lose congressional seats during midterm elections, irrespective of their performance. “When presidents, whether Republican or Democrat, win, they still seem to lose in the midterms,” he remarked, expressing his concern over this trend.

When questioned about the potential consequences of a Democratic-controlled House or Senate, Trump responded, “Well, they'll probably try to impeach me,” claiming they would “find something,” as they had done previously. “I was impeached twice,” he added, emphasizing, “I won those impeachments swiftly and easily.”

Trump asserted that his administration's policies yielded significant results, citing what he termed as historic increases in investment and public safety. He claimed that the US had attracted “$18 trillion” in foreign investment, leading to new factories and business growth. “No other nation has accomplished what we have,” he stated.

Regarding crime, Trump reiterated his previous claims, stating that the US is experiencing “the lowest crime statistics in our nation's history.” He pointed specifically to Minnesota, Washington, DC, Memphis, and New Orleans as cities where he asserted crime had diminished following federal interventions. “We removed thousands of hardened criminals,” he said, attributing the decrease in crime predominantly to law enforcement.

Trump identified immigration enforcement as his administration's greatest hurdle, despite having closed the border. “We've tackled inflation — that's resolved,” he remarked. “The toughest challenge is dealing with individuals who were brought into the country and need to be removed.” He attributed the ongoing issues to the “open border policy of Sleepy Joe Biden,” which he claims has enabled criminals to enter the US.

Responding to inquiries about Minnesota, Trump expressed optimism that recent tensions could be “easily resolved” and dismissed any notions of a withdrawal by federal authorities. He conveyed having had constructive discussions with state and local leaders, stating, “It couldn't have been a more pleasant conversation,” referring to his call with the governor, who he said was eager to resolve the issues.

Trump praised immigration enforcement officials, particularly Tom Homan, whom he labeled as “fantastic” and effective in collaboration with governors and mayors. He expressed confidence in Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, stating, “Who closed the border? She did, alongside Tom Homan.”

On the topic of tariffs, Trump described them as “critical to our success,” noting, “We’ve generated $600 billion from tariffs.” He indicated that this revenue enabled him to provide support to farmers, including “$12 billion” in recent assistance. “The income from tariffs allows us to do this,” he explained.

When asked about the implications of a Supreme Court ruling against his tariff policy, Trump replied, “We’ll have to find another approach,” admitting it might not be as straightforward but affirming the administration's commitment to pursue a similar outcome. He argued that tariffs compelled foreign companies to establish factories in the US rather than overseas. “The only way they can do that is by constructing their facilities here,” he asserted.

Trump acknowledged the concerns of farmers regarding tariffs but assured that the advantages would manifest over time. “It might take a little while to materialize,” he said, asserting that farmers would eventually be “the biggest beneficiaries.” He recalled past assistance to farmers, stating, “We provided you with $28 billion previously,” and now an additional “$12 billion.”

The president also claimed advancements in fraud investigations, particularly in Minnesota, asserting that accountability is imminent. “There has to be,” he insisted when queried about potential consequences, noting that investigators were uncovering “fraud on top of fraud.”

In response to a question, Trump commended his foreign policy team, asserting that his administration has “ended eight wars” and is striving to resolve the Russia-Ukraine conflict. He expressed confidence in Secretary of State Marco Rubio, stating, “He’s doing an outstanding job,” and predicting he will be remembered as “the best secretary of state we’ve ever had.”
