Trump says elections were 'giant step back in history' for US
WASHINGTON: President Donald Trump vowed on Sunday to bounce back stronger from a massive midterm election loss that he called a “giant step back in history” for the United States.
In a post on Truth Social, former President Donald Trump declared Sunday that the recent midterm elections marked a "giant step back in history" for the United States. The Democratic Party secured control of both chambers of Congress, resulting in significant losses for President Trump's Republican Party, particularly in states they had historically dominated.
The president expressed concern over the market's reaction following the vote, stating that the stock market had previously surged during his administration but suffered a decline afterward.
Trump remained resolute, tweeting, "But have no fear, we will be back, BIGGER AND STRONGER THAN EVER BEFORE!" Despite Republican lawmakers grappling with the setback, Trump maintained a defiant stance. On Friday, he appointed hardline adviser Stephen Miller as his new chief of staff, signaling a determined effort to mount a robust counteroffensive. Democrats vowed to hold the Trump administration accountable and resist every move made by Miller, a key figure in Trump's controversial immigration policies.
