Trump vows political comeback after midterm defeat

WASHINGTON, Nov 9: Donald Trump vowed a political comeback Sunday as the major parties clashed over Democrat threats to prosecute top administration officials after the president's Republicans lost control of Congress in midterm elections.

"America took a giant step back in History with the results of the last Election," Trump said in a post on Truth Social, adding that the stock market that had grown during his tenure took a loss after the vote.
"But have no fear, we will be back, bigger and stronger than ever before!"

On Friday, a defiant Trump appointed hardline advisor Stephen Miller as his new chief of staff, signaling a bare-knuckle fightback -- even though many Republicans.

Amid Democrat threats for administration officials to "lawyer up," Trump said Saturday he was ordering the Justice Department to examine Democratic threats to impeach members of his administration, likening it to "extortion." �"AFP
