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!”
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
Have they already started to lament the national debt again or are they waiting for ~24 hours for the cult’s brains to cool down and their memories to reset?
I think he’s glitched out halfway between 1) trying to figure out something outrageous enough to say that would seem proportional to the electoral blowout, and 2) his simple-ass programming that defaults to “winners are good”
I hope he has a fucking stroke the next time he goes to honk out a dirt snake
They probably dosed him hard with something to keep him calm. Because otherwise he would have died is my guess.
He is wondering if the spineless domocrats can be sweet talked into not hanging him for treason in front of the capitol
sounds like they got him some zanex
