He knows that they control his fate with the power of subpoena and ultimately impeachment. And he knows what he&#8217;s done and how damaging it will be for him when Democrats reveal it to the nation. He feels the hot breath of the law on his neck.<\/p>\n<p>However, it&#8217;s his attempt to paint Democrats as the <em>&#8220;Do Nothing Party&#8221;<\/em> that truly defines the dementia in Trump&#8217;s gripe-feasting. After all, he just literally pledged to the American people in a nationally televised press avail that he would refuse to work with Democrats on any legislation unless and until they abandoned their constitutional right &#8211; and duty &#8211; to engage in oversight and to hold the President accountable for his many crimes.<\/p>\n<p>So while Trump has publicly promised to do nothing &#8211; a breach of his oath of office &#8211; he is also ignoring the highly productive work of the Democratic controlled House.
