Donald Trump reacted sharply to the Republicans' crushing defeat in the US midterm elections, calling the result "a gigantic step backward in history." Democrats won control of both houses of Congress, depriving the US president of his parliamentary majority for the final two years of his term.

Despite this rout, Donald Trump is displaying his determination and promising a strong comeback for his party.
