Trump rips pundits for not giving him 'proper credit' for 'great' midterm

Source: The Hill




BY BRETT SAMUELS - 11/07/18 08:05 AM EST

President Trump on Wednesday dismissed those in the media he said are not giving the White House and the GOP “proper credit” for midterm results, labeling them as “fake news.”

"To any of the pundits or talking heads that do not give us proper credit for this great Midterm Election, just remember two words - FAKE NEWS!" Trump tweeted the morning after Republicans lost control of the House but picked expanded their majority in the Senate.




Several pundits and anchors acknowledged early in the night on Tuesday that the results were not indicative of a "blue wave" carrying Democrats into majorities in both chambers of Congress, including Democratic strategist James Carville, and Jake Tapper and Van Jones of CNN.

The president has been unflinchingly positive in his response to the midterm results, where Democrats retook control of the House by defeating a number of Trump-backed candidates. He has called the night a "tremendous success" and "big victory."

Trump up inside. Mueller’s investigation isn’t over yet. The House will get to see trumps tax returns. Billionaire trump is most likely a millionaire.

He's been setting up to proclaim victory and pat himself on the back now for months.

If he would have lost the Senate as well as the House - he would have still found some way to proclaim victory and say he is the greatest.

Trump's ego is going to be demanding a lot of attention in the coming months. With the midterms over, I doubt there will be much call for him to have rallies. Of course as a want- to- be dictator, he'll probably have them anyway.

Trump is throwing a tantrum.

I predicted he would whine about "fake news" and yup, he does.
