The president’s critics didn’t find his declaration of victory to be very convincing.
https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/trump-midterm-tremendous-success_us_5be29cb3e4b0e84388917a49Democrats will regain control over the House of Representatives, giving them the ability to block the agenda of President Donald Trump.
Many of Trump’s biggest critics will now chair committees and hold subpoena power, yet the president claimed that losing the House while gaining seats in the Senate was a “tremendous success.”
Twitter users let him know what a “tremendous success” is supposed to look like:

One president called it a thumping, one called it a shellacking. This president calls his party losing the House a "tremendous success."

If this is a “tremendous success”, you’re gonna love January when those subpoenas start coming in.

Not sure I would characterize losing one house of Congress as a "tremendous success," but do you, DJT:

Fact check: losing control of the House, losing several key governorships in red states, and losing the popular v**e total by millions is objectively not a “tremendous success” for Republicans. Trump will take credit for every win, pass blame for every loss.

You're right. Tremendous success for the Democrats, and for Americans who will now have checks and balances again in government. Congratulations!

Yes, it IS a tremendous success tonight. More women than ever have been elected, many of them women of color. Many democrats have been v**ed in and it's time to fight back. So thanks for stating the obvious for democrats!

The subpoena power of House Democrats will be huge, Bigly. You no longer have the Nunes obstruction advantage. Welcome to checks & balances. It must be unnerving that Robert Mueller is getting ready to drop the hammer. 🤗

Tonight, the American people v**ed to elect a House that will hold the president accountable. Something that Republicans have refused to do for the past two years.
A tremendous success, indeed.
