A former White House official said Trump’s daughter Ivanka and son-in-law, Jared Kushner, had told the president that a Pelosi speakership would actually be good for him. Trump made a surprise visit to the White House briefing room Thursday afternoon to congratulate Pelosi and to predict he would work well with her. ASSOCIATED PRESS “It seems like they haven’t given much thought to the legislative headaches” Pelosi could cause, said scholar Ramesh Ponnuru of the White House. If Trump demands legislation important to him, Pelosi and Democrats could counter it with something they want. I don’t think the president or his team fully appreciate how miserable having a House Democratic majority will be.
