Trump says elections were ‘giant step back in history’ for US

Washington, DC - After the Democrats gained control of both chambers of Congress in the recent midterms, President Donald Trump declared that the United States had taken a significant step backward in history. In a post on Truth Social, Trump stated that the election results marked a setback for the Republican Party, which had traditionally held a strong presence in states they dominated for many years. He emphasized that despite the loss, the United States would emerge "bigger and stronger than ever before."

The stock market, which had flourished during Trump's presidency, experienced a decline shortly after the election, reflecting the concerns of investors regarding the political shift. While Republican lawmakers grappled with the electoral defeat, Trump maintained a defiant tone. On Friday, he appointed Stephen Miller, a staunch supporter known for advocating stringent immigration policies, as his new chief of staff.

This move signaled Trump's intention to adopt a confrontational approach in his political comeback. Democrats, in response, vowed to closely monitor the administration's actions and actively resist Miller's influence, particularly in matters related to immigration.
