Democrats spent the better part of the presidential race raising the alarm that Donald Trump was literally Adolf Hitler and a danger to America.

Now that the party lost the White House, the Senate, and the House of Representatives, it seems some members of Congress are singing a different tune. Some lawmakers have been telling the New York Post that they are now willing to work with the incoming 47th president who trounced their nominee, Vive President Kamala Harris, and ran away with the electoral and popular vote.

Bronx Rep. Ritchie Torres once said Trump’s approval ratings were “lower than that of lead and arsenic” and labeled the former president as “sinful,” “radioactive” and a “criminal suspect.”

Now, the Democrat is calling for “bipartisan cooperation.”

“China, Israel, and emerging technologies are all possible candidates for bipartisan cooperation and compromise,” Torres told The Post. “There should be a bipartisan commitment to ensuring American competitiveness in emerging technologies like semiconductors, AI, quantum computing and biotech.”

Another local Democrat willing to move ahead is Long Island Rep. Tom Suozzi who said he will “hold” Trump to his promise to restore the State and Local Tax Deduction (SALT).

“I will take the president at his word that he wants to restore SALT (State and Local Tax Deduction) that he and the Republicans capped in 2017. I will work hard to hold him to his promise to do that,” he said.

“I’m prepared to work with the president-elect and the Republicans to secure the border, fix the broken asylum systems, and finally deal in a humane way with those immigrants who have been here for decades, like the Dreamers, Temporary Protected Status recipients, farmworkers and others,” Suozzi said.

Rep. George Latimer, an incoming Westchester Democrat, also wants to work with the 47th president on bringing back SALT.

“Rep. Dan Goldman — representing some of Brooklyn’s most Marxist voters — said he would be open to working with Trump on energy independence,” The Post reported. “Even far-left Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders has extended an olive branch on the issue of capping credit card interest rates.”

“An anti-usury bill capping outrageous credit card rates ought to be a top priority of the next Congress,” Missouri GOP Sen. Josh Hawley responded on X.

Many social media users hoped Trump would tell Democrats to go pound sand in light of what they have put him through.
