Donald Trump hasn’t ‘recovered’ from ‘crushing’ midtermsFormer White House Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney says former US president Donald Trump is 'a lot weaker' than he was two weeks ago. 'He is still the likely Republican nominee, no question about that, but he is not the same candidate that he was two weeks ago,' Mr Mulvaney told Sky News Australia. 'We probably thought he was going to sail to his re-nomination should he decide to run, but that midterm election was crushing to him and he has not recovered from it yet. 'So there's a lot of folks who are thinking about running who would never have run against him if they perceived him to be in a position of strength, he is not there right now, he is dramatically weakened.' Crushing midterms? Hardly. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 yeah ok. Tired, maybe. Weaker? No way. Trump is just getting started, I assure u. The best IS yet to come.
