President Donald Trump is said to be in a state of ‘utter confusion’ over why a section of American voters rejected a racist sex pest after the formula worked so well for him.

Republican candidate Roy Moore lost the supposedly safe red seat of Alabama after several women came forward to accuse him of inappropriate sexual conduct, with some being as young as fourteen at the time of the alleged incidents.

There were also clips of Moore making racist and bigoted comments during public addresses he’d made throughout the years.

‘He did everything the way I did and he still lost, I don’t understand it,’ said a bewildered Trump.

The win for Democrat Doug Jones closes the senate gap to just 51-49 in the favour of the Republicans and could seriously affect Trump’s ability to pass any further legislation during the remaining months of his presidency.
