WASHINGTON, United States (AFP) — President Donald Trump vowed Sunday to bounce back stronger after a massive midterm-election loss that he called a “giant step back in history” for the United States.
Democrats captured both chambers of Congress in last Tuesday’s midterms, dealing historic losses to Trump’s Republican Party in states it had dominated for decades.
“America took a giant step back in history with the results of the last election,” Trump said in a post on Truth Social, saying that the stock market that had grown during his tenure took a loss after the vote.
