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.
You’re a better person than I. I have 50% more gray hair today than I did 2 years ago and it’s his fucking fault. I have weekly meltdowns. I can’t function at all with this stress. I want that fucker to suffer for what he’s done to me and countless others he’s done worse to.
