White House posts photo of US president: Trump is still your president

The White House posted a photo of U.S. President Donald Trump on its X account on Wednesday, accompanied by the caption: “Trump is still your president.” The White House attached the post with the comment: “Thank you for your interest in this matter.” The post came after the Republican Party lost control of Congress, including both the Senate and the House of Representatives, in the midterm elections, while Democrats achieved broad victories that enabled them to seize majorities in Congress and win governorships in states previously under Republican control. With Democrats holding majorities in both the House and the Senate, they now have the upper hand in blocking Trump’s legislative agenda and rejecting his appointments to the administration and the judiciary. The results reflect widespread public anger over the cost of living, tariffs, and the war with Iran, which caused oil product prices to surge, leading to a decline in presidential approval ratings to their lowest levels. Following the initial emergence of results, Trump adopted a conciliatory tone. He told The New York Times: “I am fully prepared to accept these results. We will work with the Democrats, and as you know, we look forward to cooperating with them. We will likely reach understandings.” Speaking to Fox News about the Democrats, he said they had performed “very well.”
