President Donald Trump said he thinks the U.S. “shouldn’t even have” midterms in November, according to an interview with Reuters published Thursday, ramping up his attacks on the upcoming election after repeatedly expressing alarm about the possibility of Republicans losing control of Congress.


KEY FACTS

Trump claimed to Reuters that because of his administration’s many accomplishments during his second term, “When you think of it, we shouldn't even have an election [in November].”
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt later claimed Thursday that Trump was “simply joking” and “speaking facetiously” by saying that, telling reporters the president was saying, “We’re doing such a great job … maybe we should just keep rolling.”
Democrats are favored to make gains in Congress in November, based on polling and historical trends showing the party that’s not in the White House typically does better in midterm elections, with Trump lamenting that pattern and claiming “it's some deep psychological thing.”

He was NOT fucking joking.
