President Donald Trump spent early Tuesday night making desperate phone calls and blasting Fox News before midterm election results came in.
“I have the ultimate power — it’s called ‘veto,’” President Trump told CBS News in a phone interview before polls first began to close in some states. Already, Trump appeared to make excuses for a potentially massive Republican loss.
Trump also called the Financial Times, assuring reporter Edward Lucas that the U.S. has no immediate plans to strike Iran, the Middle East country Trump started a war with in February.
Trump had a particular grudge against Fox News Tuesday night, texting commentator Greg Gutfeld about his disdain for liberal Fox News commentator Jessica Tarlov.
I’d prefer a prolonged suffering for him, both physically and financially, but for the betterment of the people domestic and abroad, I’ll gladly take a quick ending and a posthumous charging of his and his families crimes.
It’s not the justice he deserves, but it would be best for everyone in the short term.
