The Liar-in-Chief says he knew Republicans Moore, Gillespie would lose 🤡



Remember, Republicans are 5-0 in Congressional Races this year. The media refuses to mention this. I said Gillespie and Moore would lose (for very different reasons), and they did. I also predicted “I” would win. Republicans will do well in 2018, very well! @foxandfriends



President Donald Trump says he knew Republicans Roy Moore and Ed Gillespie would lose their elections, but that he still believes the GOP will "do well in 2018," when control of Congress is at stake.

In an early morning tweet, Trump wrote: "I said Gillespie and Moore would lose (for very different reasons), and they did. I also predicted 'I' would win. Republicans will do well in 2018, very well!"

Trump initially had endorsed Luther Strange for Alabama's Senate seat. But after Strange lost the GOP primary to Moore, Trump swung behind Moore. On election day, Trump wrongly predicted that voters would reject Moore's Democratic rival: "The people of Alabama will do the right thing."

Democrat Ralph Northam defeated Ed Gillespie in the Virginia gubernatorial race this fall.

If he knew Moore was going to lose, then why put on that rally? Was he charging admission and taking a percentage of the gate?

I worked with a narcissist who was just as delusional as this guy. I was hoping that when I left that job, I also left dealing with this kind of nonsense in my past.

Oh well.
