Trump blames Republican midterm loss on US 'antipathy' toward Israel

adevarul.ro (Romanian) —

President Donald Trump attributed the Republican midterm defeat to Americans' "strong antipathy" toward Israel, alongside the Iran war and rising gasoline prices, in a CBS 60 Minutes interview. Trump cited voter dissatisfaction with the war, fuel costs, and anti-Israel sentiment as key factors. He also noted his personal popularity did not transfer to Republican candidates, despite holding about 30 rallies in 28 days. Trump agreed with Vice President JD Vance's assessment but reaffirmed his decision to attack Iran, saying a nuclear-armed Iran was unacceptable, though he acknowledged short-term political costs.
