US President Donald Trump shared an image of a red cap bearing the word "VETO," coinciding with his statement that he is ready to accept the results of the midterm elections and work with the Democrats.

The post on the "Truth Social" platform comes at a time when Democrats have taken control of the House of Representatives and achieved significant gains in the Senate, leaving Republicans facing a major setback.

As Democrats approach control of the upper chamber, Trump's latest message drew attention to his previous warnings about facing legislative confrontation with the opposition. The image contained no accompanying text, prominently displaying the word "VETO" across the front of the red cap.

Trump told the "New York Times" that he would accept the election results despite the Republican Party's losses, adding that he was fully prepared to accept those outcomes.

He expressed willingness to work with the opposition, stating that they would work with the Democrats and look forward to collaborating with them, noting that they would likely reach some agreement.

The post follows Trump's earlier threats to obstruct legislation proposed by Democrats if Republicans lost control of Congress. In an interview with "CBS News," he warned that he would become "Mr. Veto" if Democrats took control of Congress.
