Donald Trump does not like having fingers pointed at him.
He also does not like the fact that stories about his temper over the midterm elections has been leaking out to the media.
Trump went on Truth Social to attempt to clear a few things up.
All Lies
Trump is pushing back against the stories that he is angry and is blaming Melania Trump for suggesting that he back Dr. Oz in PA.
Trump wrote, “For those many people that are being fed the fake narrative from the corrupt media that I am Angry about the Midterms, don’t believe it.
“I am not at all angry, did a great job (I wasn’t the one running!), and am very busy looking into the future.”
He added, “Remember, I am a ‘Stable Genius.’”
Trump was referring to posts by Maggie Haberman, a journalist for the New York Times…
Trump is indeed furious this morning, particularly about Mehmet Oz, and is blaming everyone who advised him to back Oz — including his wife, describing it as not her best decision, according to people close to him.

Worth remembering that Trump is a grown man who endorsed Oz over the objection of some of the people closest to him, and instead went beyond just endorsing and attacked Dave McCormick from the stage at a rally.

Trump continued, “There is a Fake Story being promulgated by third-rate reporter Maggie Hagaman [sic] of the Failing New York Times, that I am blaming our great former First Lady, Melania, and [Fox News Host] Sean Hannity, that I was angry with their pushing me to Endorse Dr. Oz.”
Trump’s argument, however, falls apart when he explains why he thinks that Oz lost.
Trump says it was because Oz never bought into the idea that Trump had the election stolen from him in 2020.
If that is the case, then how does he explain the loss of Doug Mastriano who was running for governor in PA (he lost by 14 points)?
There were also another half-dozen gubernatorial candidates in key battleground states that bought into the narrative that were all defeated.
In fact, Oz may be one of the only non-deniers on Trump’s long list that did lose.
Trump could saved face by just owning up to some bad picks and vowing to do better research on candidates next time.
Instead, he is starting to sound like a madman and losing more and more support every day.
Trump’s base will never leave him, but they can only get him as far as a primary win, much like the stable of candidates he fed into this general election.
