Trump: Democrats are "trivializing impeachment"

He warned that someday there will be a Democratic president and a GOP House, and "they'll remember it." Mr. Trump, whose remarks came during a meeting with the president of Paraguay, also touted the phase-one China trade deal finalized Friday, predicting that it "will lead to the opening of China."
