White House aides are a little concerned about President Trump's ego after House Speaker
Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) officially opened an impeachment inquiry Tuesday, Politico reports.Despite the fact that Trump has brushed off concerns, and a senior official said the administration is betting the president Trump can ride the whole thing out, some current and former administration aides reportedly think that it could distract him from his daily tasks for the rest of the year, including halting any agenda for this fall."It would mean USMCA (U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement) probably doesn't get done," one former official told Politico. "It would declare war on whatever legislative agenda they still have."Trump, for his part, actually made the opposite case Wednesday during a joint press conference with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky while in
New York for the
United Nations General Assembly. There, he told reporters it's the
Democrats who can't focus on anything besides impeachment. Trump said he tried talking to Pelosi about
gun control legislation Tuesday, but added she and the other Democrats aren't interested in that or anything else at the moment, including infrastructure and drug pricing legislation.
