President Donald Trump spent early Tuesday night making desperate phone calls and blasting Fox News before midterm election results came in.

ā€œI have the ultimate power — it’s called ā€˜veto,ā€™ā€ President Trump told CBS News in a phone interview before polls first began to close in some states. Already, Trump appeared to make excuses for a potentially massive Republican loss.

Trump also called the Financial Times, assuring reporter Edward Lucas that the U.S. has no immediate plans to strike Iran, the Middle East country Trump started a war with in February.

Trump had a particular grudge against Fox News Tuesday night, texting commentator Greg Gutfeld about his disdain for liberal Fox News commentator Jessica Tarlov.

    No, they need to send a very clear signal in the US so this shit doesn’t happen again, or at least not for another couple decades.

    They probably won’t, but they should

      No.

      If they impeach again then the GOPs can play the ā€˜they have nothing but hatred’ card.

      Let him sit in his ugly ballroom and watch as the country gets rebuilt.
