Trump predicted Republicans will do "very well" in the upcoming midterm elections and people will be "surprised." He touted the actions of his first 500 days as more than any "any president has every done" and told Baier "people that would rather not say it are saying it."
----------
PRESIDENT TRUMP: So Bret, I saw on your show and I've seen 120 days ago we were down 16 points. Now I see Reuters has us up 2 and another one was up six and another was down 3. I think it's a whole different ball game. I think the economy is so good. I think the tax cuts have been incredible. Far greater than even I thought they'd be. The regulation cuts have been great. I've done more in 500 days than any president has ever done in their first 500 days. There is nobody close and that's not, that's a lot of people saying that. That's people that would rather not say it are saying it and I really think that we're going to do very good. Now, history is against me because history for whatever reason you win the election and then you lose lots of seats. I think we're going to do very well. I really do. I think the economy is doing so well. We're doing so well as a nation. I think we're going to surprise people. And if you look at the numbers and you look at the kind of turnouts like Texas how many people showed up to vote as an example, how many Republicans showed up to vote, people are very surprised.

Well in one way he is right - he has done more for international fragmentation in the last 500 days than any other President.

Every damn day, there's news of some additional damage: children in cages, a "prez" who sits on his fat ass watching TV all day, all the Putin-loving, insane tweeting, POC insulting, stable-geniusing crap this asshole dishes out. Fire this piece of shit! Vote him OUT!
