Trump blames anyone but himself for tonight's loses.

"President Trump just weighed in on the commanding Democratic victories tonight with a one-line, mostly all-caps post on his Truth Social account: “‘Trump wasn’t on the ballot, and shutdown, were the two reasons that Republicans lost elections tonight,’ according to Pollsters,” he wrote."

Poor little man is having a bad night it seems. Time to blame his underlings who are already suffering from his bad policies and partisanship lunacy.

Oh, and yeah, when the overwhelming winners were running extremely vocal anti-Trump campaigns he was on the ballot, and he just lost. MASSIVE. HUGELY!

The people spoke tonight and the Republicans, including The Orange Anus, were just put on notice.

I guarantee you he's in panic mode looking for someone to lay the blame and humiliation of tonight on. Little, petty men like him never shoulder responsibility.

This shit is going to run downhill and I have a feeling Johnson is next in line.

anyway he can.. and has a Gatsby party in his Gaudy Garrish Gold House.. and Expects to get to accolades because he's FUBARED STUPID.

The maniac may have been shocked that Mikie Sherrill won NJ Gov... I read on here that Fox predicted for days that Jack Ciattarelli was going to win.

I Hope Johnson is next.. he's so Sickening.

Let's be honest here, FOX news is his number one main source. They praise him endlessly, so in his mind they're obviously always correct. Even, if not especially when they're wrong.

As such I don't doubt he was surprised by some of the outcomes this evening. I doubt he expected to be repudiated quite as humiliatingly as he was tonight. Which makes it all the sweeter to witness. He's a bit in shock at the moment. But before long he's going to pick an underling to latch this blow on and I'm here 100% for that show!

Oh and speaking of underlings.. I read Vance's half brother Lost Big as Mayor of Cincinnati Ohio!

And, Vance personally endorsed jack Ciattarelli.

He's looking to blame it on an underling to divert attention from him. He doesn't accept blame of failure. Ever!

Beyond that I seriously doubt he cares. He's not running again and there's so much more monies to be bilked before his term is up.

Before he's done with the elected Republicans he's playing like marionettes he will happily see them bleed and suffer as they dance and spin on their strings.

Watch and see.

As the candidates vocally expressed it was.

He knows this and is just deflecting in his desperation. He's such a pitiful man, after all, all he truly has is his power to bully the elected Republicans beneath him. Without their cowardice he's basically nothing.

I'm sure he's in a bit of shock still. He didn't expect a full on ass whooping like he got tonight. And, let's be real here, Mamdani's massive success is a threat to his very core.

I guarantee you he was watching Zohran as he came on stage tonight to the deafening cheers of, "Zohran! Zohran!" and almost blowing an artery. He's a direct threat to Trump on so many different levels in his eyes. Youth, good looks and adoration not being the least of why he's jealous of and despises him.

This was most definitely a referendum on Trump and his presidency. He knows that, too. Even if he doesn't want to admit it.

Keep it to yourself man. It's obvious that the voters don't care about what you think. In fact, they are coming after you.

pulling innocent citizens from their vehicles by the legs and dragging them across the pavement...that certainly doesn't help him.

The gop is obeying trump to the fullest, and as long as they do that, they are screwed.
