Slurring Trump makes stunning admission on Fox News after devastating night of midterms losses: ‘They finally got it’

After Republicans suffered bruising losses in Tuesday’s midterm elections, President Donald Trump offered his opponents an unexpected compliment: “The Democrats did a good job.”Trump’s praise came during a late-night Fox News interview after Democrats were projected to take control of both the House and Senate, dealing the GOP a sweeping rebuke and setting up two years of divided government.Speaking by phone and occasionally slurring his words, the president deflected blame for his party’s losses onto lackluster Republican candidates, some of whom lost even in GOP strongholds such as Texas and South Carolina. Trump also expressed surprise at the scale of Republicans’ losses, saying the turnout at his rallies in recent months had led him to expect a stronger showing.Still, he did not hesitate to congratulate Democrats — the same opponents he has repeatedly mocked as “Dumocrats,” labeled “Jihadists and Communists” and accused of brazenly cheating in elections.(Getty Images)“I think the Democrats did a good job; I really do,” the 80-year-old president told Fox News. “They fought hard. They were, you know, they've been fighting for a long time. They've been fighting me for a long time.”
