A blue tsunami just hit the US. Trump may unleash ‘tremendous powers’ to get around it

Heading into the midterm elections, there were predictions of a blue wave crashing over the United States. The forecasts proved conservative, in more ways than one; a tsunami of Democratic support destroyed the Republican stranglehold on the House and Senate, and with it, Donald Trump’s control of Congress.

Trump’s closing midterm message is on the topic voters care about the least

On the day before the election which will determine the fate of Donald Trump’s remaining time in office, the president has given a speech centred on an issue voters resoundingly don’t care about.
