Donald Trump has spent his Thursday lashing out on his Twitter-knockoff-app Truth Social over reports that he became enraged when candidates whom he endorsed lost their elections in Tuesday’s midterm elections.
Trump’s rant comes a day after New York Times correspondent Maggie Haberman reported that the former president was livid and blamed his wife Melania Trump for his endorsement of Dr. Mehmet Oz, who lost to Democrat John Fetterman in the Pennsylvania senate race.
“There is a Fake Story being promulgated by third rate reporter Maggie Hagaman of the Failing New York Times, that I am blaming our great former First Lady, Melania, and Sean Hannity, that I was angry with their pushing me to Endorse Dr. Oz,” Trump ranted. “First of all Oz is a wonderful guy who really worked hard and was a very good candidate, but he WAS LONG IN THE RACE before I ever Endorsed him, they had NOTHING to do with it, he was not a “denier” (his mistake!), & I was not at all ANGRY. Fake News!”
Trump added in a second post: “I’d like to apologize to Melania and Sean Hannity for all of the Fake News and fictional stories (made up out of thin air, with no sources despite them claiming there are!), being dumped on you by reporters and “News” Organizations who know these stories are not true.”

“The Fake News Media is “Crazed” and totally out of control. I only wish the public could understand how really corrupt and crooked they are. They MAKE UP stories and then push them down your throats. Our Country is in big trouble!”
He then took at Fox News.
“Despite having picked so many winners, I have to put up with the Fake News. For me, Fox News was always gone, even in 2015-16 when I began my ‘journey,’ but now they’re really gone,” Trump wrote in another post. “Such an opportunity for another media outlet to make an absolute fortune, and do good for America. Let’s see what happens?'”
