How it started... and how it's going

2017:

After House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi slammed him in an interview over the weekend, President Trump responded by accusing her of undermining the Democratic Party. He even suggested that Democrats would end up becoming irrelevant.

In a “Fox & Friends” interview that aired Tuesday ahead of his address to a joint session of Congress, Trump branded Pelosi “incompetent” and said she’s “done a terrible job” as a party leader.

“You know, if you look at what’s going on with the Democrats and the party, it’s getting smaller and smaller,” Trump said.

“You know, in a certain way, I hate to see it, because I like a two-party system and we’re soon going to have a one-party system. I actually think a two-party system is healthy and good. But she’s done a terrible job.”

2021:
The twice-impeached one-term president has been calling up Republican allies in the U.S. Senate in recent days, according to two people familiar with the matter, to ask about H.R. 1, a sweeping voting rights bill that passed the Democratic-led House on Thursday, as GOP legislatures have been rolling back access to the polls in states he lost, reported The Daily Beast.

Trump wants to rally support for GOP voting restrictions in states where he lost, privately telling allies that expanded mail-in voting and other measures to expand access to the polls would destroy Republican election chances.

"We might never win another election ever again," Trump has privately told several people, according to a source with direct knowledge of the matter.
