Donald Trump's remarks in a recent 60 Minutes interview have angered some supporters after Republicans lost heavily in the Nov. 3 midterms. He is now open to working with Democrats on immigration.

He also said deporting undocumented immigrants with good jobs likely hurt Republicans, and that he would still have launched the Iran attack despite the backlash.

Some longtime allies accused him of betrayal. The White House said the word amnesty was never used, but a community note on X said his comments amounted to the same thing.

Trump thinks Democrats are unlikely to launch a third impeachment push once they take back Congress in January. He made the remarks to Ross Douthat on 60 Minutes, his first interview since the midterms.

He also said he could reach a deal with the opposition, citing his first term. Both impeachments from that period ended in Senate acquittals.

On forgiveness, he was less open. He doubted he could forgive some rivals, including former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and ex-FBI Director James Comey, whom he called untrustworthy.

Trump says he doubts Democrats will try to impeach him a third time
