Tuesday the nation held its midterm elections. What we knew last night as the midnight hour approached was that the Democrats had enough votes to retake the House while the Republicans gained in the Senate widening their majority.
President Trump as votes were still being counted took to Twitter @ 11:14 p.m. to “thank you,” all for a “Tremendous success.”
Tremendous success tonight. Thank you to all!

Post midterm election Wednesday found President Trump tweeting @ 1:27 a.m., 1:37 a.m., and 1:47 a.m..
1:27 a.m. and 1:37 a.m. he quoted actor and economist Ben Stein.
“There’s only been 5 times in the last 105 years that an incumbent President has won seats in the Senate in the off year election. Mr. Trump has magic about him. This guy has magic coming out of his ears. He is an astonishing vote getter & campaigner. The Republicans are………

….unbelievably lucky to have him and I’m just awed at how well they’ve done. It’s all the Trump magic – Trump is the magic man. Incredible, he’s got the entire media against him, attacking him every day, and he pulls out these enormous wins.” Ben Stein, “The Capitalist Code”

1:49 a.m. he agreed with Fox News personality David Asman.
.@DavidAsmanfox “How do the Democrats respond to this? Think of how his position with Republicans improves-all the candidates who won tonight. They realize how important he is because of what he did in campaigning for them. They owe him their political career.” Thanks, I agree!

His next post election tweet came @ 6:21 a.m. in where he explains that he received “so many Congratulations,” from “foreign nations (friends)” on “our Big Victory,” last night.
Received so many Congratulations from so many on our Big Victory last night, including from foreign nations (friends) that were waiting me out, and hoping, on Trade Deals. Now we can all get back to work and get things done!

@ 6:55 a.m. he congratulated the new Republican Governor of Florida Ron DeSantis.
Ron DeSantis showed great courage in his hard fought campaign to become the Governor of Florida. Congratulations to Ron and family!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 7, 2018
The New York Times reports the vote tally for the race for Florida’s Governor:
Ron DeSantis 4,052,118 49.7%
Andrew Gillum 3,999,679 49.0%
With his next tweet at 7:07 a.m. President Trump explained that those that “worked with me” on the midterm election, who embraced, “certain policies and principles did very well,” he adds, “those that did not, say goodbye!” He continued to end the tweet with taking a big swipe against the “Nasty and Hostile Media!”
Those that worked with me in this incredible Midterm Election, embracing certain policies and principles, did very well. Those that did not, say goodbye! Yesterday was such a very Big Win, and all under the pressure of a Nasty and Hostile Media!

There will be more to come on this tweet later as the elections are certified as the counting is finished to see in what way there was “The Trump Effect.” At this moment it’s not truly possible to know if it was clearly embracing President Trump that led to victories for the Republicans.
For example The New York Times has incumbent Democrat Senator Jon Testor and his Republican Challenger Matt Rosendale currently separated by 2,993 votes with Rosendale leading. President Trump campaigned for Rosendale twice in Montana, but until a winner and the votes are all counted, it only shows that embracing Trump might give a narrow margin of victory to a Republican.
@ 7:36 President Trump via Twitter announced that he will be holding a news conference that “will be discussing our success in the Midterms!”
I will be doing a news conference at The White House – 11:30 A.M. Will be discussing our success in the Midterms!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 7, 2018
There will be a live feed provided for the press conference at the end of this article.
He tweets @ 7:52 a.m. that “FAKE NEWS” is the only way to describe any pundits or “talking heads” that refuse to “give us proper credit for this great Midterm Election.”
To any of the pundits or talking heads that do not give us proper credit for this great Midterm Election, just remember two words – FAKE NEWS!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 7, 2018
President Trump goes on to tweet @ 8:04 a.m. that “if the Democrats think they are going to waste Taxpayer Money,” on conducting investigation into “us” in the House. He might be forced to “likewise,” investigate “them for all of the leaks of Classified information and much else,” in the Senate. He ends this tweet by explaining “Two can play that game!”
If the Democrats think they are going to waste Taxpayer Money investigating us at the House level, then we will likewise be forced to consider investigating them for all of the leaks of Classified Information, and much else, at the Senate level. Two can play that game!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 7, 2018
As a reminder during the month of October President Trump held sixteen-plus campaign rallies, the first week of November he spent “Taxpayer Money,” by holding two campaign rallies a day, with Monday election eve finding the President traveling to three states to hold three MAGA campaign rallies. @ the News Blender covered the majority of his rallies live.
@ 8:31 a.m. President Trump explained that Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) “deserves to be chosen Speaker of the House.” He went on to explain that if the Democrats, “give her a hard time,” that “perhaps we will add some Republican votes.” President Trump concluded his tweet by saying, “She has earned this great honor.”
In all fairness, Nancy Pelosi deserves to be chosen Speaker of the House by the Democrats. If they give her a hard time, perhaps we will add some Republican votes. She has earned this great honor!

@ 10:39 a.m. he is back with an oldie but a goodie!
According to NBC News, Voters Nationwide Disapprove of the so-called Mueller Investigation (46%) more than they Approve (41%). You mean they are finally beginning to understand what a disgusting Witch Hunt, led by 17 Angry Democrats, is all about!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 7, 2018
Trump Twitter Archive has his last “witch hunt” tweet being issued on October 16th, 2018.
The NBC News exit poll shows that 42 percent approve of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s handling of the Russian investigation while 45 percent disapprove. This according to NBC News is based on nationwide voters.
