President Donald Trump kicked off Monday morning as the New York Times recently reported he always does: watching Fox & Friends and tweeting.

This particular Monday, Trump remained fixated on the Alabama Senate race, where his chosen candidate Roy Moore was defeated in a stunning upset by Democrat Doug Jones.

And the president wanted to remind everyone that despite that loss, Republicans are still having a good year:

1. Joe Madison alerted to this nonsensical tweet this morning

While he was at Camp David over the weekend, they mostly kept him off twitter. Back at the WH he was back to business as usual and manages to forget that the U.S. Senate is part of "Congress".

2. is it just me or has is "opinions" been all over the map? nt

[PatSeg]

7. Yep

He adjusts his opinion on a regular basis so as to always appear right. What a totally pointless tweet.

3. I know when I endorse someone mightily that they will lose

4. 5-0 in deep red districts

The Georgia election they ALMOST lost a seat that has been red for 40 yrs. Every special election the dems outperformed how they had for decades.

8. So why did he endorse candidates he knew would lose?

[notdarkyet]

9. The truth is he thought his endorsement would be enough to get them both elected.

Maybe he doesn’t have the power he thought he had now that people have gotten to know him and what he is doing to ruin this country.

11. Trump when he is sentenced to prison: "I said I would lose. Nobody believed me, but I was right."

13. Part of the reason the House races broke R...

...is the people he pulled out of Congress were in extremely safe R districts. Senators don’t have that assurance because the only way to rig a Senate district requires moving vans.
