Trump Says ‘Fake News Media’ Makes it Seem Like Republicans Are Being ‘Clobbered’ in House Elections
Donald Trump is once again complaining that the “fake news media” is being “so unfair” to “your favorite president” for their coverage of the special elections.
Trump got on the presidential Twitter machine to brag that all five candidates he endorsed this week have won their races.
5 for 5!

As long as I campaign and/or support Senate and House candidates (within reason), they will win! I LOVE the people, & they certainly seem to like the job I’m doing. If I find the time, in between China, Iran, the Economy and much more, which I must, we will have a giant Red Wave!

It should be noted that Kansas and Ohio elections are still inconclusive since the votes there were too close to call. Political observers have noted that in several other races, Republicans seemed to under-perform and had several close calls as they fought to keep hold of their red state seats.
In any case, Trump also seized the moment and took another swing at his favorite enemy today for their dismissive coverage on the elections’ connotations.
The Republicans have now won 8 out of 9 House Seats, yet if you listen to the Fake News Media you would think we are being clobbered. Why can’t they play it straight, so unfair to the Republican Party and in particular, your favorite President!

One last side note: It’s worth mentioning that Trump endorsed figures like Rick Saccone, Roy Moore, and Ed Gillespie during their political office pursuits, and those didn’t work out very well.
