[0:00] It is safe to say that President Trump
[0:01] isn' thrilled with the election results
[0:03] last night. We want to show you a post
[0:05] that he made overnight.
[0:06] >> So, it's an image of a red hat, like a
[0:10] MAGA hat, but it just says veto. It
[0:13] echoes what he told CBS News's Weijia
[0:15] Jiang over the phone last night. Quote,
[0:17] I have the ultimate power. It's called
[0:20] veto. And Weijia is at the White House
[0:22] with more. Weijia, I I I you know, even
[0:25] in the wake of this, you know, what
[0:27] people are calling a a blue wave or a
[0:30] blue tsunami, what are they calling it?
[0:31] A blue tsunami? Blue tsunami. The
[0:33] President still has got he still has the
[0:34] memes. But I want to go back to what he
[0:37] told you last night, the news that you
[0:38] broke on CBS News yesterday evening when
[0:41] you spoke to the President and the way
[0:43] you framed the discussion that you had
[0:45] with him, which yeah, the memes are
[0:47] defiant, but his tone and his tenor were
[0:49] very different when you spoke to him.
[0:51] >> Uh that's right because if there was one
[0:53] word I did not expect to hear coming out
[0:56] of the President's mouth as he was
[0:58] watching returns in real time, it was
[1:01] congratulations to the Democrats. And
[1:04] that is what he said. He said
[1:05] congratulations specifically also
[1:08] to James Tala
