He was flailing. This is crazy. So last night, Politico had a live show they're going through the midterm results and one of their writers, Dasha Burns, decides I got Donald Trump's phone number. Let's call and see if he picks up. Let's try to call the president. I think it's time we've been talking about him. Let's see if he picks up. Let's go. There's back. More on it, sir. I may ask who's calling. Hi, this is Dasha Burns with Politico. And in taxes? One moment, please. The product they were preventative gave. Natasha, how are you? Hey, Mr. President, I'm doing well. I'm just wondering what's your message? What do you think happened with your party tonight? I wasn't on the ballot, and we didn't get the people out, but I wasn't on the ballot. If I was on the ballot, we would have won. We would have won it all very easily. Once again, the buck stops with everyone else. For a guy who hates the fake news, it sure is easy for them to get him on the telephone.
