Trump went full-blown depressive Wikipedia on America:

This election marks the largest senate gains for a president’s party in a first midterm election since at least president Kennedy’s in 1962. There have been only four midterm elections since 1934 in which a president’s party has gained even a single Senate as of now, we picked up it looks like three and could be four, and perhaps two, but we picked up a lot. Most likely the number is three, and you people probably know that better than I do at this point because you looked at the more recent numbers. 55 is the largest number of Republican senators in the last 100 years.

Years a president’s party has only acquired eight cumulative seats averaging one per decade, and so if we picked up two, three, four, that is a big percentage of that number. So in the last 80 years, you think of that. Only eight seats. In President Obama’s first midterm election, he lost six Senate seats including in the deep blue state of Massachusetts. Republicans captured at least four Senate seats held by Democrat incumbents and these are tremendously talented hard working people that did this the. Indiana, North Dakota, Florida, Missouri, and we also won two open Senate seats in Tennessee. I want to congratulate our great champion who did such a great job in Tennessee, Marsha, and in Utah.

Trump held a press conference to try to explain away why he is not a loser, even though Republicans lost the House and key governor races around the country, which doesn’t even include the defeats that Republicans suffered at the state legislative level. Trump is not better than Obama. The President doesn’t seem to understand that the Senate map shifts every cycle and that Republicans are going to be on defense in 2020 and 2022.

Trump is trying not to own this loss, but like it or not, he owns it.
