“‘TRUMP WASN’T ON THE BALLOT, AND SHUTDOWN, WERE THE TWO REASONS THAT REPUBLICANS LOST ELECTIONS TONIGHT,’ according to Pollsters,” posted convicted felon President Trump on Tuesday after something of a rough go of it in several East Coast races and another big L looming in California, admitting his own failure to influence outcomes.
It was a decided switch from his earlier post expressing optimism about some random Orthodox Jewish community’s turnout, reading “I just heard that 32,000 Orthodox Jews around Lakewood and Jackson, New Jersey, have showed up BIG for Jack Ciattarelli. My friends in this Great Community know how important this Election is to New Jersey, and to our Country. There is still time to vote! I am asking ALL PATRIOTIC CITIZENS OF THE GREAT STATE OF NEW JERSEY, including all Kollel and Yeshiva students who haven’t voted yet, to please GET OUT AND VOTE FOR JACK CIATTARELLI. You can win this for Jack! VOTE FOR JACK, WHO HAS MY COMPLETE AND TOTAL ENDORSEMENT!”
Later, with his election night postmortem out of the way, Trump then moved onto matters more important to him and his second administration with “JUST OUT: The 60 Minutes interview of Donald J Trump, on CBS, Sunday night, was the highest rated 60 Minutes IN YEARS!”
