The myth of Trump’s mandate to govern as he has been was shattered from coast to coast on Tuesday night, as Republicans suffered major and historic losses during the vote.
The White House’s initial response was to deny that the defeats had anything to do with Trump, and they tried to blame the defeats on Republicans in every race, ignoring the fact that the Republicans who lost were following Donald Trump’s agenda.
Good presidents learn and adapt when their party suffers a huge setback at the ballot box.
Bad presidents make excuses for defeat and try to avoid blame.
The worst presidents double down and keep doing what they’re doing.
Donald Trump is doubling down.
After more than a month of acting as if the shutdown he caused doesn’t exist, Trump is now claiming the shutdown is the reason Republicans lost the election and demanding something be done about it.
Trump’s apology ignored the fact that voters had made it clear in exit polls that the economy and inflation remain the two most important issues, along with a rejection of Trump’s immigration policies.
Voters are telling Trump and his party what they want to focus on.
Instead, Trump ignored them and threw a tantrum in front of Senate Republicans.
