Trump says he would take a 'warlike posture' if House Democrats investigate him

President Trump vowed Wednesday to work with the new Democratic House majority in a bipartisan manner on infrastructure, trade and health care, but warned that work would stall if Democrats use their subpoena power to investigate corruption in the administration as well as the president’s personal finances and conduct in office.

Addressing reporters at a White House news conference, Trump repeatedly praised House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi (Calif.), who is poised to reclaim the speaker’s gavel she lost eight years ago, and said he looked forward to working with her on “a beautiful bipartisan-type situation.”

Trump said he saw opportunities to work with Democrats to rebuild the nation’s infrastructure, lower the costs of prescription drugs and refashion trade policy.

“Now we have a much easier path because the Democrats will come to us with a plan for infrastructure, a plan for health care, a plan for whatever they’re looking at, and we’ll negotiate,” Trump said.

Warlike posture? Does that mean you're going to put on your military school uniform (assuming it still fits) and strut around?
