Kathmandu. US President Donald Trump said on Sunday that this year’s US midterm elections were the “biggest regression in history” for the United States.

He pledged to come back stronger after the big defeat in the election.

Democrats captured both houses of Congress in Tuesday’s midterms, inflicting historic damage on Trump’s Republican Party in states it has dominated for decades.

In an op-ed on Truth Social, Trump said the results of the last election “put America on the cusp of the greatest regression” in history.

“Americans, don’t be afraid, we will come back bigger and stronger than ever before,” he said.

At a time when Republican lawmakers were blaming President Trump for the failures, President Trump signaled that he would not back down by taking tougher steps. He appointed hardline adviser Stephen Miller as his new chief of staff on Friday.

Democrats have pledged to hold the Trump administration accountable and to “fight every step of the way” against Miller, the architect of Trump’s tough immigration policies.
