Trump relative says he hates being blamed for Tuesday’s blue wave: “Not taking any of this too well”

Donald Trump’s lesbian niece, Mary Trump, recently revealed that her uncle is not handling the results of Tuesday’s elections very well. On her blog, Mary joked, “I know it’s not going to shock you all: Donald’s not taking any of this too well. He doesn’t like the whole blue wave narrative, and he certainly doesn’t like people blaming him for it.”

She mocked him for his reaction to the Democratic sweep by “lying to protect his fragile ego” during a post-election day speech in which he falsely claimed that the prices of gas and groceries had significantly decreased. According to Mary, her uncle’s claim that gas is at a 20-year low and costing only $2 a gallon is untrue.

Mary immediately debunked that possibility. “I don’t have a car, but I rented one this weekend, and gasoline was $4 a gallon,” she said. “The American Automobile Association, or AAA, has the average price of gasoline nationwide at $3.08 a gallon. I think Roseanne was still on TV the last time gas was less than $2 a gallon—not the reboot, the original.”

She added, “According to petroleum analyst Patrick DeHaan, prices would need to decline below $2.96 to reach their lowest level since 2021. They’d need to drop below $1.76 a gallon nationally—a $1.34 per gallon drop compared to today—to fall to their lowest level since 2009.”

Mary questioned the president’s motivation behind trying to convince Americans that he has brought down the cost of living. “You can tell people all you want that gasoline is cheaper than it’s ever been, but if you’re somebody who buys gasoline a lot and pays attention to how much it costs, because a price difference of 20 to 50 cents a gallon is going to negatively impact your ability to buy other essential goods, you’re going to notice.”

She also referenced CNN’s fact-check that grocery prices were 2.7% higher in September than they were a year earlier and 1.4% higher than when the president took office in January.

Reflecting on the election results, Mary Trump said, “voters just aren’t buying the lies anymore.”

The president did not hide his rage in the immediate aftermath of Tuesday’s results. He ranted on Truth Social that unnamed “pollsters” claimed “TRUMP WASN’T ON THE BALLOT, AND SHUTDOWN, WERE THE TWO REASONS THAT REPUBLICANS LOST ELECTIONS TONIGHT.”

In a follow-up post, he reiterated his call to Republicans to terminate the filibuster and demanded they “GET BACK TO PASSING LEGISLATION AND VOTER REFORM,” which critics interpret as a dog whistle for voter suppression.

However, the president probably shouldn’t have been surprised by the results, considering his monstrous disapproval ratings. MSNBC host Rachel Maddow recently detailed just how unpopular he is with the American people, explaining that his disapproval rating is “higher than it was in the immediate aftermath of January 6th.”

Citing an ABC/Washington Post Poll, Maddow added that “Americans disapprove of him on everything,” including:

– His handling of Israel and Gaza (minus 6 points)
– His approach to crime (minus 11 points)
– His immigration policies (minus 13 points)
– His handling of foreign relations (minus 19 points)
– The economy (minus 25 points)
– His handling of the Russia-Ukraine War (minus 21 points)
– His management of the federal government (minus 27 points)
– His tariffs (minus 32 points)

These numbers no doubt explain what happened in Tuesday night’s elections, where Democrats swept in races across the country.

The November 4 off-year elections saw Democrats dominate their Republican and independent opponents in gubernatorial and mayoral races, judicial retention votes, state legislative elections, commission races, and a historic, unprecedented ballot measure.

Analysts have said the Democrats could not have had a better night, as candidates across the country not only won their elections but, in many cases, made history.

In numerous races, Democrats won by such large margins that news organizations declared winners within minutes of polls closing.
