Trump takes a victory lap on Fox: "We've had an amazing record-setting year, we're doing great, the best, the best ever" [View all]

During an interview on Fox News’ The Will Cain Show on Tuesday, Trump puzzled over why the president’s party historically fares poorly in the midterms.

“Nobody can explain why,” he said. “You know, even when we’ve had an amazing year, this has been a record-setting year in every way. Nobody can explain, even presidents, whether it’s Republican or Democrat, when they win, it doesn’t make any difference, they seem to lose the midterms.”

The 79-year-old president then claimed, “Hopefully we are going to change that around, we are doing great, we have the best polling numbers we have ever had, we have the best numbers in the country.”

However, most polls show that a significant majority of Americans disapprove of Trump’s job performance, and on critical issues such as the economy, his numbers sink even further.
