After the elections, Trump mocks Republicans who refused to campaign with him

WASHINGTON.- The President of United States, Donald Trumphe made fun of Republicans who avoided campaigning with him before Congress Elections and that they were not chosen, referring to a list of candidates by name.

"These are some of the people who have decided for their own reasons not to join, neither for me, nor for what we stand for," Trump told the press.

"They have done very badly, I'm not sure to be happy or sad, but I'm happy about that."

At a press conference, the US president celebrated the Republicans' continued control of the Senate while threatening the Democrats with retaliation in case they initiate investigations against his government.

If the Democrats in the House send you subpoenas, we will do the same to them, he said.

He added that Republicans "defied history" in the midterm elections and attributed advances to the Senate, not to mention that his own party had lost control of the House of Representatives.

In his message, the president explained that in his 2020 campaign, Mike Pence will again be his candidate for the vice presidency.

In addition, Trump repeated that continue to promote the construction of the wall on the border with Mexico.

Knowing the results, this shows a Republican majority in the Senate and democratic control in the House of Representatives, the chief executive officer has not ruled out a partial paralysis of his administration if his request for resources to build the wall stagnated.

Faced with this, he called for work to protect the borders before the caravans of migrants crossing Mexico to reach the United States.
