Trump blames Iran for disastrous Republican losses in U.S. Midterms

U.S. President Donald Trump acknowledged in the early hours of Wednesday that problems over his war in Iran could be to blame for a disastrous night for Republican lawmakers, following the U.S. Midterms.

Insisting that the public were overall supportive of his actions in the Middle East, Trump said that "they really probably weren't willing to do the short-term consequence of paying more for gasoline".

In a momentous night for the Democrats, both the House of Republicans and the Senate were flipped, leaving Trump in a position known as a 'lame duck President'.
