In the last question of the interview, Sherman asked Trump about what might happen if Democrats succeed in recapturing the House of Representatives.

“It’s just gonna be investigation-mania,” Sherman said. “They’re going to do oversight; they could impeach you again.” Sherman then asked Trump what he thinks about the possibility of a third impeachment.

“A lot of people are saying that I’m one of the greatest presidents ever,” Trump said, to which Sherman replied, “They’re not saying that, though…”

“They see the results,” Trump replied.

“Trump said GOP voters are “very angry” with congressional Republicans, and he declined to back Senate Majority Leader John Thune for another term as the top Senate Republican,” Punchbowl News said of the interview, which was published on the day that Congress departs for its August recess.

“Trump also said he thinks he could do business with House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, an eye-opening remark for top House Republicans. During his appearance on Fly Out Day – one of our longest and newsiest episodes this season – Trump spoke expansively about Congress, an institution with which he’s had a complicated relationship, to say the least.”

Social media users had some reactions to that moment in the interview:
