Metro News, The Blast, The Independent, The Independent (US), News.de, Politicus USA, and The New Republic all highlighted the question about being a 'loser' and Trump's subsequent departure. Metro News detailed the broader context of the midterm election results, noting Democratic victories in historically Republican states and the election of the first Native American female governor, first Black female governor, first Muslim US senator, and first openly gay male US senator. The Blast's headline stated Trump 'Storms Off In A Fury' as a reporter shouts a 'brutal' question. News.de reported that Trump 'flees' from the reporter's question. Politicus USA stated that America had 'finally shut Trump up' as he 'runs away from reporters'. The New Republic's headline reminded him he's a 'Big, Giant Loser'. ### Centre - The single centre-rated report, Internewscast, focused on Donald Trump appearing unimpressed by a British reporter's question about how it felt 'to be a loser' after his party's midterm election defeat. It noted that Trump offered no response and walked away as he left the White House for Florida. The report also mentioned that political analysts said voters had rejected the president’s agenda, with the war in Iran, tariffs, and rising cost of living contributing to the result. Internewscast also detailed a disagreement regarding the departure of Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, with Trump stating he wanted to make a change, while a senior White House official told Our News Outlet that Ms Wiles had given her resignation. ### Right - The single right-rated report, dailymail.com, stated that Donald Trump was 'not impressed' to be called 'a loser' by a British reporter. It noted that Trump simply walked off and did not respond after previously speaking to reporters as he departed the White House for Florida. **Provisional coverage gap:** right.
