Well, I just watched some clips from Trump's press conference today. Predictable.
He declared the midterms a 'huge victory' for the Republicans, though losing at least 34 Republican leadership positions for a couple of Senate seats is certainly not a victory. Bluster and spin; to be expected from Trump and his devotees.
Threatening the country with no 'bi-partisan deals' and the Dems with Senate action if the House Dems dare to launch probes, which is part of their role, wasn't surprising either. Typically disappointing, but not surprising.
As for his self-proclaimed ability to shut down the Mueller investigation if he feels like it, that's fiction. I think we'll be seeing more action from Mueller's team soon enough, now that the midterms are over.
