Trump was worried he wouldn't get enough credit for GOP midterm successes, report says. Since then he has the opposite problem.

• Trump expected his candidates to do well in the elections.

• On the back of GOP victories, he was going to launch his presidential bid.

• His political future may be in jeopardy after disappointing results.

Donald Trump was worried that he wouldn't get enough credit because the Republicans would sweep to victory in the elections, according to the report.

Trump is defending himself after being blamed for the party's poor performance.

According to a Trump advisor, the former president caused chaos on the eve of the elections when he told aides he was going to announce his candidacy at a rally.

The report said that though Trump was more skeptical of Republican hopes of a victory than some, his main concern was to maximize his Republican successes.

Allies tried to prevent him from making the announcement on the eve of the election. Trump kept himself at the rally to tease that he would be announcing his candidacy soon.

The Republicans failed to win back control of the Senate and likely won only a small House majority.

Some Republicans blame Trump for alienating moderate voters by promoting divisive candidates.

Long-time allies have urged the former president to hold off on announcing his candidacy in the wake of the results of the election, but Trump is determined to go ahead with the announcement on Tuesday, believing that it would be embarrassing for him.
