Main Points
On Thursday, November 5, 2026, former President Donald Trump said that the results of the mid‑term elections were the reason for recent losses in the stock market. Speaking in Washington, he blamed the electoral outcome for the downturn, suggesting that the absence of his name on the ballot had prevented enough voters from turning out. The statement was made after the Republican Party suffered a heavy defeat in the mid‑term elections, which saw Democrats gain a majority in both the House of Representatives and the Senate. In a separate development on the same day, President Trump signed an executive order designating the Oval Office of the White House as a national monument. The order, which was signed in the presence of White House staff, declared the Oval Office a “national monument” and stated that it would be “impossible for anyone to destroy this amazing place.” Trump added that the designation would prevent future presidents from making any alterations to the two rooms adjacent to the Oval Office. The move has sparked speculation that Trump may be preparing further renovations in the West Wing, following earlier hints that he might change the layout of the famous “Executive Office” near the Oval Office. Critics of Trump have accused him of ignoring voters’ concerns about the war with Iran and the cost of living before the mid‑term elections, instead focusing heavily on construction projects in the capital. The executive order was signed after the Democrats secured a majority in both chambers of Congress, a fact that Trump largely ignored in his public remarks. During a separate interview, a political figure named “روبيو” (Rubi) said, “My plan is always to work with Trump until the end of his term.” The statement was made in Washington and reflects the continued support of some Republican allies for the president’s agenda.
