Trump Texts Supporters: I Wasn't on the Ballot — If I Were, We'd Have Won in a Landslide; Vows to Veto Anything That Hurts America
President Donald J. Trump sent a mass text message to supporters through his official text-messaging platform on the morning of Friday, November 6, weighing in on the results of this week's midterm elections. The message was delivered to subscribers' phones at 10:55 a.m. Pacific Time.
In the message, Trump said he was not on the ballot in this election and that Republicans would otherwise have won in a landslide. He added that although Democrats may control Congress, he will never stop fighting for his supporters and will veto anything that hurts America.
The full text of the message reads: "I WASN'T ON THE BALLOT. IF I WERE, WE WOULD HAVE WON IN A LANDSLIDE! Democrats may control Congress, but I will NEVER stop fighting for you, and I will VETO anything that hurts America. Our Economy just added 165,000 JOBS, and the RECORD ACHIEVEMENTS will keep coming! President DONALD J. TRUMP"
In the midterm elections held this week, Democrats won majorities in both the Senate and the House of Representatives. Trump himself was not a candidate in this election, and the mass text was his first public message to supporters in this form since the results became clear.
The jobs figure cited in the message matches official data: the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported on November 6 that U.S. nonfarm payrolls rose by 165,000 in October, with the unemployment rate at 4.1%.
The message came from short code 45470, the number used by Trump's official text-messaging platform to reach subscribers. An earlier message in the same thread on a recipient's phone carried a link to the White House website's polling-place lookup page.
