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

“I have the ultimate power — it’s called ‘veto,’” 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.

    Still having an absolute corrupt supreme court for more than 8 years shows a systemic problem. If they “leave” Within the next 2 years, it is still Trump appointing the candidates to replace them.

    That’s at least 10 years with a supreme court where party politics are more important than the law of the land.

        They’ll probably stay on until they are 90, So 20 more years with an insane supreme court on top of the 8 USA already had.
