Trump's secret ruthless plan to trample Democrats if they seize Congress ... as top aide produces audacious blueprint

President Donald Trump and his administration have crafted a secret plan to rebuff any incoming liberal Congress should Democrats sweep into power in Tuesday's midterm elections. Senior White House officials including Stephen Miller, budget director Russell Vought and White House Counsel Will Scharf have been identifying executive actions that could be taken without congressional approval.The presidential orders are expected to span immigration, federal spending, tariffs, housing policy and more, three officials told Reuters on condition of anonymity. Scharf, the president's White House attorney, is examining 'what Trump can legally do on his own, where he could push the limits of his authority and how to defend those decisions in court,' one White House official said. Trump on Tuesday, ahead of the results in the midterm elections, welcomed the moniker Mr Veto and said he was prepared to block Democratic legislation if they win a majority in the House or Senate.'I have the ultimate power - it's called "veto," the president told CBS News even as he remained optimistic about the Republican Party's chances.'Historically, you veto for a couple of months and then they come and say, 'We've got to make a deal,' Trump added.As the massive blue wave swept across the country, Trump took to Truth Social to post an image of one of his red baseball caps that read: 'VETO.'

The president has used that power 12 times during his two stints in the White House. Shortly after, the president called in to Fox News, telling anchor Brett Baier: 'The power of veto is one of the stronger powers that a president has, and they'll send over things that are insane, and I'll veto them. And after a couple of months of vetoes, they'll call and they'll say, "How do we get this stuff done?" And we'll work together.''That's the power of veto, and the power of veto is, you know, impervious,' he added. Tuesday's congressional and local elections will determine the balance of power in Washington and across states nationwide. The outcome will determine whether Trump can continue to pass his policy agenda into law with GOP congressional help or if Democrats will loosen the conservative grip on Capitol Hill.The stakes couldn't be higher, and many of the most critical races are neck-and-neck. Democrats need to pick up just four seats in the House and the Senate after Tuesday's elections to gain control of both chambers of Congress.Prediction market data from Kalshi show Monday afternoon that Democrats have over a 90 percent chance of taking the House and a 75 percent chance of winning the Senate. Opinion polls tell a different story for the Senate, with many showing the races are too close to call and the candidates within striking distance. Trump has worked unilaterally on many occasions, pushing through 292 executive orders during his second term, the highest number since President Franklin D Roosevelt. He has, for example, pushed the boundaries on tariff authorities, authorizing plans that the Supreme Court later deemed inappropriate. Should Democrats take both chambers, virtually all legislation sent to the president's desk for his signature will be handcrafted by liberal lawmakers without much, if any, input from GOP lawmakers. 'I guess I'll become Mr. Veto,' Trump told the New York Post in a recent interview. 'And then at some point, we'll probably make deals' Prediction market data from Kalshi show Monday afternoon that Democrats have over a 90 percent chance of taking the House and a 75 percent chance of winning the Senate. Opinion polls tell another story for the Senate, many showing the races are too close to call and the candidates within striking distance of one anotherThe White House official believes the president could continually issue vetoes for 'a month or two' before striking deals with lawmakers in the other party. The president has even suggested publicly that would be his strategy. 'I guess I'll become Mr. Veto,' Trump told the New York Post in a recent interview. 'And then at some point, we'll probably make deals.'The president has been read in on the preparations and has taken part in their discussions, one White House official said. The expectation is that the president will be 'very comfortable' governing alongside a Democratic Congress, one of the sources shared. Already, federal agencies have submitted proposals of the actions they could take without congressional approval. As director of the Office of Management and Budget, Vought has overseen efforts to examine how to spend money Congress has already approved for the Trump administration's use, two sources shared. He reportedly has been working on plans to give political appointees more control over which government programs receive taxpayer funds, a gambit that could give the White House more control without congressional oversight. 'This administration and commonsense Republicans will continue to secure our borders, restore law and order, putting more money back into the pockets of hard-working Americans, and deliver wins for the American people,' White House spokeswoman Lauren Bis said in a statement.
