Donald Trump is denying media reports that he was furious about the Republican failure on election night, but a picture of Trump shows the real story.
Trump’s denial:
It’s odd how the things that the people around him report, and tapes of his own recorded conversations and statements, always seem to directly contradict the face he presents to the public. Believe him, not your lying eyes. pic.twitter.com/4Zm8hYy1jM

This is what Trump looked like at his Mar-a-Lago election party:
He is denying the reports that he was furious and raging last night. This is him walking in. He says now he was happy. pic.twitter.com/y9K8cBXEGe

I have never seen a supposedly happy person look so angry. Trump is seething in that picture. He has a volcanic temper, and it looks like the former president was ready to blow his stack.
The picture above is not the look of a happy person at a party. Trump looks like a guy who just realized that he is about to be blamed for a stunning election night defeat, and he faces the possibility of being indicted at any moment.
Trump is angry because the American people once again rejected him. The only places where Trump endorsed candidates did well were red states or states with heavy Republican leans.
Donald Trump had a long list of high-profile misses on election night. Candidates that secured nominations for that lost.
The former president was angry because the weak MAGA movement failed to bully America again.
