Don Jr. Roasted After Premature Tweet Calling The Election A 'Bloodbath' Instantly Ages Poorly

While many Republicans were predicting a 'Red Wave' in the midterms, the reality fell quite short of that.

Republican voters failed to make the projected "red wave" Republican legislators and pollsters were counting on to regain control of Congress following the midterm elections, but that didn't stop Donald Trump Jr. from declaring a premature victory.

Trump Jr. is currently being roasted online for a tweet calling the election a "bloodbath" for Republicans. His tweet hasn't aged well at all in light of the fact that control of Congress still hangs in the balance and will come down to contests in Nevada, Arizona and Georgia, where some races are still too close to call.


You can see his tweet below.

Millions of votes still need to be counted and it appears likely that Republicans may not unseat a single Democratic Senate or gubernatorial incumbent. Additionally, Democrats could even pick up seats in the Senate.

That's far from the "bloodbath" Trump Jr. was celebrating and he was swiftly mocked for it.






In many ways, this year's midterm elections were seen as a referendum on how much sway Trump Jr.'s father—former Republican President Donald Trump—and his rhetoric still has over the American electorate.

The lack of a "red wave"—which Republican politicians and pollsters had long predicted—indicates that many voters have repudiated his lies and blatant attempts to subvert the democratic process.

The elder Trump earlier lashed out at two Republican Senate nominees who lost their races after disavowing his unfounded claims of election fraud.

The New York Timesreported that "Trump-backed candidates lost or were faring poorly" in key states and that the "close races on the rest of the electoral map confounded Mr. Trump," who had expected the projected "red wave" to materialize.

Although Trump endorsed about 300 candidates during the midterm election cycle—and Republicans saw key victories in states like Ohio and Florida—it is evident that his "quest for redemption" after losing the last presidential election has not necessarily resulted in Republicans remaining loyal to him, hurting his chances should he announce he will run in 2024.

Liberal Wisconsin Judge Calls Out Elon Musk In Victory Speech—And It's Everything

Liberal judge Susan Crawford called out billionaire Elon Musk in her victory speech after winning a seat on the Wisconsin Supreme Court, basking in successfully beating her Republican opponent Brad Schimel and ensuring that the nonpartisan court’s narrow 4-3 liberal majority remains intact despite Musk's efforts to sway the race.

Musk fueled the high-stakes race, having poured more than $20 million into supporting Schimel, according to state campaign records. That includes $3 million to the state Republican Party—$2 million of which was donated just last week. Due to state election laws, large contributions must be funneled through political parties before reaching candidates.
