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

Donald Trump has declared that the United States has taken a "giant step back" after the Democratic party won control of both chambers of Congress in the recent midterm elections. In a statement released on his Truth Social platform, Trump cited the sharp decline in global markets and the downfall of US tech stocks as evidence of the nation's setback. Despite the electoral loss, the administration maintains that they are "back, BIGGER AND STRONGER THAN EVER BEFORE!"

As the new White House chief of staff, Stephen Miller, will be tasked with implementing an aggressive immigration crackdown and stoking cultural wars. Trump's choice of Miller, a known hardliner, has raised concerns that the administration will adopt a "fighting-from-a-bunker" approach during the remaining years of Trump's presidency.

Trump's press secretary, Dana White, who was offered the position by the President himself, will also play a significant role in shaping the administration's message. The appointment of White, described by Trump as a "violent fighter and warrior," signals a shift in the administration's tone and strategy.

The Democratic majority in Congress, now set to take control in January, is poised to investigate Trump's administration and family members. Attorney General Todd Blanche has hinted at potential investigations into Democrats planning to oversee the administration, and Congressman Robert Garcia has announced that investigations will focus on Elon Musk's involvement in the Department of Government Efficiency's firing of federal workers and Stephen Miller's role in Trump's immigration crackdown.
