Although this is true and Trump is still President, losing both the House of Representatives and the Senate so spectacularly is likely to prove a serious thorn in Trump’s side as the Democrats find themselves in a much stronger position to effectively oppose the president in these arenas.

The strange but seemingly defiant statement comes after the blue wave swept across the US, with voters swinging towards the Democrats across the board.

Some states which had not seen success for the Democrats in decades still made the switch, showing the sheer scale of the swing towards the Democrats.

These included the Democrats winning Senate seats in Kansas, which hasn’t seen a Democrat going to Senate since 1932, as well in Texas for the first time since 1988, and South Carolina for the first time since 1998.
