“I would like to apologize to Melania and Sean Hannity for all the fake news and imaginary stories (made up out of thin air, with no sources, even though they claim they exist!) thrown at you by journalists and the ‘News’ Organizations that know these stories are not true,” Trump told Truth Social. “The Fake News Media is ‘crazy’ and completely out of control. If only the public could understand how truly corrupt and crooked it is. They make up stories and then shove them down your throat. Our country is in big trouble!” Trump added. New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman, who has followed the former president closely for years, said Wednesday that Trump spent the day after the midterms “furious” after congressional Republicans failed to create a “red wave” of major victories over the Democrats. In Pennsylvania, Trump-backed Oz lost one of the closest battles of the cycle, with Democratic candidate John Fetterman successfully flipping a seat currently held by the GOP. “Trump is indeed furious this morning, particularly about Mehmet Oz, and is blaming everyone who advised him to support Oz – including his wife, calling it her best decision, according to people close to him,” he wrote Haberman tweeted on Wednesday. . ABC News also reported that Trump was angry with Hannity for pushing him to support Oz. “It’s worth remembering that Trump is a grown man who supported Oz over the objections of some of those closest to him,” Haberman said. Some in Trump’s orbit are pushing him to reschedule the expected announcement of his 2024 presidential plans next week, though that would mean “recognizing that he’s been hurt” by the midterm results, Haberman noted.
