"I believe you're referring to the President's interview at Reuters last night. I was in that interview. It was a closed-door interview. Obviously, there was not audio or video. The President was simply joking. He was saying, We're doing such a great job, we are doing everything the American people thoughtmaybe we should just keep rolling.' But he was speaking facetiously, Leavitt replied."
"The president expressed frustration that his Republican Party could lose control of the U.S. House of Representatives or the Senate in this year's midterm elections, citing historical trends that have seen the party in power lose seats in the second year of a presidency. It's some deep psychological thing, but when you win the presidency, you don't win the midterms, Trump said. He boasted that he had accomplished so much that when you think of it, we shouldn't even have an election."

A Fox News clip circulated of the remarks.
