Trump’s party stripped of control after he spent weeks pleading with Americans to pretend he was on ballot
Donald Trump has been dealt a devastating blow to his authority in a night of crushing defeats in the midterm elections, which saw his Republican party stripped of control of the Senate and the House as his handpicked “Maga” candidates were swept away by a blue tsunami.
The president spent weeks before the election pleading with the American people to pretend he was on the ballot. He may now rue that tactic: the American people took him at his word, and delivered him a bloody nose of historic proportions, flinging his presidency into lame duck status.
He appeared last night to have changed his mind, declaring on social media: “I wasn’t on the Ballot and if I was, we would have won IN A LANDSLIDE!”
We did it!!
To paraphrase a character on the West Wing, we overthrew the government last night. Good job everyone!
Donny is a little slow, I expect his reactions are gonna get worse as consequences slowly dawn on him, realized or not
He was on Fox News and wasn’t denying the election at all. He sounded tired and defeated, saying they were gonna work with Democrats as best they could.
Which, given his previous reactions to losing makes me think he realizes he’s boned
Congratulations to the Americans for a good election. 👍 😀 🎉
