The Memo: White House says it's Dems who must work with Trump

BY NIALL STANAGE - 11/25/18 06:00 AM EST

President Trump will be dealing with a divided government for the first time in January, and the White House says the onus will be on Democrats to determine how much can get done in Congress.

People close to Trump cite issues such as infrastructure, criminal justice reform and drug pricing as having potential for bipartisan progress with a Democratic House. But they also aren’t holding their breath, given the polarized state of the nation.

“There has been no big meeting of the minds,” a senior White House official told The Hill.

“What will matter is if Democrats want to get anything done or not,” the official added. “If their posture is only they want to investigate and obstruct, then we won’t be able to get much done.”

I don't think so.
They didn't listen to the majority of voters that didn't vote for Trump or Rs in Congress
We shouldn't listen to their suggestions now.
