House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) said President Donald Trump needs to “keep his reckless mouth shut” in response to Trump calling the Democratic Party the United States’ “greatest enemy.”

Trump made his statement on Sunday morning following “the death of Iran,” referring to the U.S. conflict against the Middle Eastern country.
