USA: Trump Admits to "Too Harsh Deportation Policy" After Midterms
In a TV interview, the US President blames the war in Iran and the high energy prices for the Republican election defeat - and surprisingly admits to his own mistakes.
US President Donald Trump has spoken about the Republicans' midterm election loss in an interview with "60 Seconds". He acknowledged his own mistakes and hinted at wanting to work with the Democrats, who will control both houses of Congress from January. Trump described his administration's mass deportations as "too harsh" and suggested that a compromise could be reached with Democrats on the issue of people who are in the US illegally but working, for example, in a garden or hotel.
Trump claimed he could avoid insulting Democrats for six months "with ease", despite previously calling them "Dumbocrats". However, he also stated that he could not forgive his political enemies, including James Comey and Nancy Pelosi, even if it meant going to heaven.
