As the midterms loom, President Trump has signaled his intention to act as a roadblock to Democratic legislative efforts if they manage to seize control of the House and Senate. Speaking on Fox News Channel's *The Ingraham Angle*, Trump declared, "I will end up being a blocker — I'll block all their bad stuff for two years."
