President Trump threatened that if a Democrat-led House "[wastes] Taxpayer Money investigating us...we will likewise be forced to consider investigating them...at the Senate level" in a Wednesday morning tweet.

"If the Democrats think they are going to waste Taxpayer Money investigating us at the House level, then we will likewise be forced to consider investigating them for all of the leaks of Classified Information, and much else, at the Senate level. Two can play that game!"

The big picture: Axios' Jonathan Swan reported in August that House Democrats were preparing a wishlist of investigations they hoped to initiate if they won the majority, which House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi confirmed was coming in her post-midterms victory speech, promising to restore "the Constitution’s checks and balances to the Trump administration."

1. Coming from don "i spend money like its a house on fire', thats rich.

That dog dont hunt anymore. You do you don, congress has it's own agenda...and it's not doing what YOU want anymore. Times up don. Congress holds the purse strings and can retake the war powers angle. Lets start by trimming dons golf budget.

7. That's peanuts compared to the 3 million

Trump spends every single weekend on golf resorts.

10. 52 weeks x3 million156 million a year

Thats for one year. Even Pro Golfers don't get allowances like that. Apparently his game has gotten worse too. Expensive golf habit for a guy who wasnt going to ever leave the WH bc he'd be too busy.

2. Yawn!

Shut the fuck up you orange shithead. You no longer have the power of the purse. You have been neutered, your bark doesn't mean shit without the money to back it up. Bye Felicia!

3. Sounds like Trump has investigations on his mind

Good. Whether investigations come or not, he needs to have them on his mind. He knows investigations are warranted. No more free pass, Donny.

5. What the heck do you mean, "whether investigations come or not?"

Should we sit back and allow Ivanka Trump to install her Chinese voting machines for our next election?

6. Oh, they should come.

I'm just saying Trump won't know exactly when, and it will drive him nuts. Sorry, if I didn't convey that very well.

11. Oh no way. NO WAY.

8. Excuse me...

Once you won the presidency, did you or did you not waste tax-payer money on an investigation about election fraud?

Who paid for that?

Oh wait... it's part of the debt that you said you would get rid of....

I'm sick of this Sh&t

9. He eats hate for breakfast. And insults for lunch. The bully con continues.

He knows it's all bs. Just baiting for "Liar. Liar. Liar". And then you're hooked. "Fake News. See. Fake News". Then "Liar. Liar. Liar" and on and on it goes. "Am so. Am not. Am so."

12. Let's see those tax returns.
