Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.) speaks to reporters before President Trump's State of the Union speech on Capitol Hill in Washington on Tuesday.

He’s afraid of them.”[In dissonant State of the Union speech, Trump seeks unity while depicting ruin]Since taking over control of the House, Democrats have vowed far more robust oversight of Trump and his administration. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) told reporters Wednesday that she consider Trump’s comments a “threat.”“Presidents should not bring threats to the floor of the House,” Pelosi said.
