As the scale of the Republican Party's losses came into focus late Tuesday, President Trump watched from the White House and went looking for someone to blame. First it was Fox News. Just before midnight, with Democrats projected to seize control of the House, Trump wrote on Truth Social that the network "bears responsibility for these losses by constantly and consistently putting on the Dumocrat opposition, and worse." Then it was the fact that he had not been on the ballot, otherwise, he said, "we would have won IN A LANDSLIDE!" Minutes later, Trump was on the phone with the same network he had just accused of sabotaging his party. And over a 22-minute interview, conducted before the Senate had been called for Democrats, his tone shifted from grievance to something closer to acceptance, though never to the idea that the election results were a rebuke on his administration.
