Trump Tells Reuters We Shouldn't Even Have an Election' Ahead of Midterms

"During the sit-down, 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. Trump noted that president's party often takes some midterm losses after a presidential victory. It's some deep psychological thing, but when you win the presidency, you don't win the midterms, he said."

"Reuters then noted that Trump expressed that his administration had accomplished so much already that when you think of it, we shouldn't even have an election. Trump also spoke to the outlet about a number of other topics, including his desire to absorb Greenland, ongoing protests in Iran, and more. The president previously promised anti-government protesters in Iran that help was on the way amid reports of authorities killing thousands of demonstrators."

"Speaking to reporters this week, Trump suggested the killing was stopping, leading to backlash among his own party members. Trump was noncommittal in his Reuters interview about future plans regarding Iran. We have to play it day by day, he said. Trump also dismissed a Reuters/Ipsos survey that found most Americans do not support his Greenland plan as fake. The poll showed only 4% of Americans support the idea of absorbing Greenland."

President Donald Trump mused that the United States should not hold midterm elections after saying his party often loses seats following a presidential victory. He expressed frustration that Republicans could lose control of the House or the Senate and said when you win the presidency, you don't win the midterms. He asserted his administration accomplished so much that an election seemed unnecessary. Trump addressed multiple topics, including a desire to absorb Greenland, widespread protests in Iran, and criticism of a Reuters/Ipsos poll showing minimal support for the Greenland plan. He described following his gut, defended unpopular decisions that later succeeded, and said policy on Iran must be considered day by day.
