President Donald Trump said Wednesday that his involvement in the midterm elections "de-energizes" Democrats, according to The Wall Street Journal, once again forecasting a wave of GOP success in November's races.

“I think the Democrats give up when I turn out,” Trump said. “If you want to know the truth, I don’t think it energizes them. I think it de-energizes them. I think they give up when I turn out.”

On Twitter, the president has repeatedly touted his "8 for 9" record in special elections endorsements, even though he has endorsed multiple losing candidates, including Luther Strange and Roy Moore in Alabama and Rick Saccone in Pennsylvania. After releasing a fresh batch of GOP endorsements earlier Wednesday, Trump touted his support as having moved the needle for GOP candidates.

The president said he plans to aggressively stump for Republicans running in close elections this fall, and pointed to a RealClearPolitics poll, which showed more than 40 percent of Americans believe the country is moving in the right direction, according to the Journal.

1. Trump does know that 40% is a minority, doesn't he?

4. Nope

As long as old white men show a majority, those are the only folks he considers people.

11. It's so painfully obvious, too ...nt

[olegramps]

36. Democrats don't give up, when they see Trump they throw up.

[bearsfootball516]

2. Wow, a whopping 40 percent!!

That's...really, really bad.

[saidsimplesimon]

3. Delusional Dotard Dirty Donnie

[machoneman]

7. 4D? Nice! n/m

n/m

[Submariner]

5. No...many just don't say what we really feel about you out in the open

because we don't want a visit from the U.S. Secret Service.

At least that is how I feel almost daily.

[nature-lover]

6. Good. Let him think that. Delusional as always.

When he gets only positive news from the rallies, people around him and Fox News, what else is he to think? He thinks that the members of the news media are the only people in the country who do not worship him. His ego will not let him believe otherwise.

[Nitram]

8. It's true! The Donald is magic! His mere presence strikes fear into the hearts of libtards and gays.

Just flying overhead during a campaign event adds ten points to a candidate's numbers. Watching it on TV adds five. Yeah, verily, I say unto you, "Bow down ye unworthy unbelievers lest you be blinded by the sight of the Magnificent Trump, light shining forth from his enormous body. Tremble ye sinners who have not faith in The Donald's infinite power!"

[robbob]

25. You mean like this:

Seriously, that’s a thing!

[Nitram]

29. Exactly!

You have seen the light, Brother!

[marble falls]

32. Can't say as using the libt was a brilliant idea.

[yallerdawg]

9. "If you want to know the truth..."

you all in the wrong place talking to the wrong person.

[turbinetree]

10. Hey Traitor..................remember this.....................

The last time you had a meeting it was held in a UMD gym in Duluth, MN, that gym is not that big, I know, I use to go there.......................


November 2018 cannot get here fast enough.......................vote

[2naSalit]

13. Duluth, MN Pop: 86,293 (2016).

Holding steady but the school isn't a big place! That room is likely not much bigger than a basketball court, maybe twice that, ya think?

[turbinetree]

16. Counting the surrounding little hamlets busing the kids in, yeah, I will correct myself it was held

here, this is picture of the UMD....he got over 8,000 deplorable's to show up out of a population of 86,000 that's only 10% of the population and the surrounding hamlets......................................... .....................that 10% to many ....................I thought the Finlander's, Swedes, Germans, and the Norwegian's had more sense.

I know they did when I lived in the region, especially in Duluth, they must have driven all from the Iron Range, thinking that this traitor was a messiah........................... ..................his daughter is going to make millions if that Chilean asshole's copper mine mine is opened near the Boundary Water area.............

18. Seriously.

As a small hamlet dweller, I can say that even the small factions will travel to see one of their beloved charlatans. And I am sure you're correct about the ethnic groups up there, I lived in and around Madison for a time and traveled all over the state for work. I kind of miss that but I need high elevation environment so I can't live there anymore.

[turbinetree]

19. I truly love Minnesota, and have a lot of relatives in the area.............................

I don't live there anymore, but I go back to revitalize and see family...................but these folks that went and saw this "guy".........................that is not the Minnesota I know when I was growing up.....................but 10% of the population that's what is scary..................

[IrishEyes]

34. Yes, there were hundreds of marches both in the US and all around the world.

Because almost everyone hates Trump.

[beachbum bob]

12. consider trump says is nothing but lies, this follows his norm

its laughable, I hope he continues to turn up on the campaign trail, brings out way more voters for democrats as proven in past 2 years and this week

[jayschool2013]

14. Uh, no.

[targetpractice]

30. Love him... He inherited his father's eyebrows. n/t

[IrishEyes]

33. That is from the TV show "Schitt's Creek". In case, anyone didn't know.

I love that show.

[ProfessorGAC]

15. R's Lose In Alabama, Because Dems Just Gave Up?

Interesting use of the phrase "give up", i would say. Interetsing, or just dumb.

[watoos]

17. Keep thinking that you dumb fuck.

[elmac]

20. this is news of national importance? nt

[marble falls]

37. Yes. That asshat is allegedly the most powerful man on earth.

[PatSeg]

21. Amid numerous outrages every morning,

there is at least one really good laugh! This would be today's.

[bigbrother05]

22. Even if this were true (which it isn't), this is likely to rally the Dems

Just like putting trash talk from the opposition up in the locker room before a big game, he just gave all those folks that are tired after the primary a 2nd wind.

[CaptainTruth]

23. Notice how everything he says is the opposite of reality? nt

[Mc Mike]

24. "Chicks dig me, man."

[forgotmylogin]

26. "I think..."

I'mma stop him right there!

[Scoopster]

27. No Donny, we just tune you out.

We're too busy working to fix this country, starting with flipping the House, Senate, state officials & legislature seats. We don't have time to listen to a lying traitor.

[DinahMoeHum]

28. Fuck him, he's whistling past the graveyard. . .

. . .and pissing in the wind.

[marble falls]

31. Delusional piece of shit iden't he?

[Initech]

35. Seriously?

We don't give up, we point and laugh and mock your arrogance, jackass!

[Snellius]

38. He's more fun to hate than Nixon. As Machiavelli once said (paraphrased sarcastically):

"It's better to be loved for being hated, than never to be loved at all". Or something like that.
