According to CNN, Donald Trump “is livid” and “screaming at everyone” after many Republican candidates backed by him underperformed in Tuesday’s midterm elections.

Trump had endorsed more than 330 GOP candidates running for both state and federal office in this election cycle, but a much-anticipated “red wave” or “bloodbath” of Republican victories never happened in the fight for control of Congress, and it turned out to be a night for the Democrats to celebrate.

“Candidates matter,” the Trump advisor told CNN on Wednesday, adding, “They were all bad candidates.” And yes, candidates like Herschel Walker, Dr. Oz, and other MAGA candidates were simply awful. As long as these candidates were willing to say Trump was the rightful winner of the 2020 election, Trump was willing to back them.

But if you take a look at Trump’s Truth Social account, he thinks he did just AMAZING.

Trump wrote, “174 wins and 9 losses, A GREAT EVENING, and the Fake News Media, together with their partner in crime, the Democrats, are doing everything possible to play it down. Amazing job by some really fantastic candidates!”

Who exactly does Trump think he’s fooling?

Everyone is blaming Trump for the horrible night Republicans had. And most of it is his fault.

Keep in mind: Tonight was supposed to be a "bloodbath" for Democrats. A red wave.

Historically, the President in power loses MANY seats during the midterms, especially with inflation.

The fact that it was even CLOSE is a testament to President Biden, and a rejection of trump.

Republicans lost out on what is historically an easy path to comfortable majorities in midterms.

Why?

Because Trump is a loser.

Trump is widely expected to launch a 2024 presidential run next week after he once again teased another bid for the White House earlier this week. At an Ohio campaign event on Monday, Trump said he has a “big announcement” planned for November 15 at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida. Advisers reportedly had to talk Trump out of announcing his candidacy on Monday night.

And despite embarrassing GOP losses by Trump’s hand-picked candidates, he will still probably announce his 2024 intentions because “it’s too humiliating to delay,” the Trump advisor told CNN, noting that there were many unknowns at this point.

A conservative political commentator and ex-GOP strategist suggested Trump has zero chance of winning the 2024 presidential election, should he run, based on the early results of the 2022 midterm elections.

“How could you look at these results tonight and conclude Trump has any chance of winning a national election in 2024?” Scott Jennings, a former advisor to Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, said in an early Wednesday tweet.
