President Donald Trump attacked the Associated Press over a headline it had on a story about comments he made on the midterm elections, saying the headline "was very different from my quote and meaning in the story." The headline on the AP story from Oct 16 reads, "Trump tells AP he won't accept blame if GOP loses House." The president took issue with that language in a tweet. "AP headline was very different from my quote and meaning in the story. They just can’t help themselves. FAKE NEWS!"  The AP reported that, during a wide-ranging interview with the president, Trump dismissed the idea that he would be to blame if Republicans lose the House in the upcoming midterms. “No, I think I’m helping people,” the President said. “I don’t believe anybody’s ever had this kind of an impact.”
