Like with everything, the man is a pathological liar. He barely won, and even that is questionable.

ritavations.bsky.social•82 days ago

He’ll argue this like he argues his crowd sizes and the size of his hands. But all teeny tiny.

andi91.bsky.social•82 days ago

And even that’s very questionable

mikely77.bsky.social•82 days ago

You go brother! DEI

breed38.bsky.social•78 days ago

Our Democratic Party need to be constantly referring to the fact that his win was by the smallest margin ever.

elip20.bsky.social•82 days ago

Facts? What facts?

numberjohnny5.bsky.social•82 days ago

If they audit PA and their DMV voters - He will HAVE LOST.

truthsquad.bsky.social•82 days ago

I think if you add up the people who voted 3rd party, more people actually voted against him than for him.

flaneurer.bsky.social•82 days ago

It was elons bitcoin move. and they all made good money afterwards

nygirlvegas.bsky.social•81 days ago

I saw a headline somewhere last week that said that once again, he didn't win the popular vote. Was that wrong?

existentiallyme.bsky.social•82 days ago

Perhaps if we opened the polls back up to allow the 55 million who didn't vote a day to go to the polls the outcome would be different now that he's not hiding his intent to fracture America

socinvestigator.bsky.social•82 days ago

That alone should be considered fraud. Disavowing himself from any knowledge of Project 2025 then bringing in all the implementers after the election.

kork4.bsky.social•82 days ago

Plus trump is underwater by 5 points on favorability according to 538. 50.1% favorable, 45.1% unfavorable

Im sure his press sec is going to gaslight us just like spicy did about crowd sizes back during his inauguration.

moldyteeth.bsky.social•81 days ago

But the media went hard with that narrative in the days after the election.

jdevermore.bsky.social•81 days ago

I think it correlates perfectly with his penis size.

shudson4117.bsky.social•81 days ago

shewarrior.bsky.social•82 days ago

Not in the vote, and not in what voters for him thought they were getting (often). They want lower prices, not tariff prices. They want accountable, pro middle class, pro working class government, not Project 2025 government. They want secure borders, not the deportation of our backbone workforce.

sierranicole1426.bsky.social•82 days ago

Maybe not checkout that 1,5 %

beth718.bsky.social•81 days ago

We deserved a recount.

nservantes.bsky.social•81 days ago

Right? I cannot recognize the Presidential election results as legitimate...

project1984.bsky.social•82 days ago

So what exactly does that say about The Democrats then?

I mean if we can't beat the guy who engineered an attempted insurrection in 2020 that's pretty damning evidence of how far down the ladder we have fallen

jacklongpix.bsky.social•82 days ago

BFD. Concentrate of counter measures. No one seems to care about margins. Losing by one point is still losing.

cnstwain.bsky.social•82 days ago

I totally agree we need to stop this shytt now

unhipcat.bsky.social•82 days ago

corporate media are lying hacks. Prove me wrong.
I figured this out weeks ago in less than 10 minutes using google.

rini1983.bsky.social•82 days ago

I think the fact that he didn't lose the popular vote made it feel like a landslide.

ann702.bsky.social•82 days ago

Propaganda - rinse and repeat

rkhullar.bsky.social•82 days ago

Part of why this has been allowed to be this way was because California came in late and because it was more of an electoral vote victory and at the time he was over 50% initially before California came in that's why this narrative has been pressed

rkhullar.bsky.social•82 days ago

So what happens is we get busy talking about what he does after he wins that we forget about this other stuff. I blame California for not having their shit together when they're supposed to they take too God damn long

andyp8424.bsky.social•82 days ago

A 2 seat House "majority".

The 119th will be just like the 118th, unproductive and dysfunctional.

wetcoastgrumpa.bsky.social•79 days ago

If he did win at all.

ircgalaxy.com•82 days ago

"It's time to nip that lie in the bud."

All of these headlines are just abject bullshit. The MAGA crowd gives absolutely no fucks about the truth. Their only... ONLY... consistent traits are hate and lust for power, the latter being traits of seemingly all of the politico.

The high road sucks.

basedlib.bsky.social•82 days ago

Republicans are so used to losing every popular vote that a 1.5% win is basically an 1984 Reagan mandate.

stoshm.bsky.social•82 days ago

"nip that lie in the bud", Mehdi?
...i'd say that sucker is in full bloom

coffeedude82.bsky.social•82 days ago

Doesn’t matter. He’ll say it’s the biggest and the sheeple will believe it.

cheesersdurden.bsky.social•82 days ago

Trump doesn't care.

som867.bsky.social•82 days ago

Hello? Corporate media? Are you there?

mmarc1.bsky.social•82 days ago

I've never thought it was landslides. The moron is a conman who exaggerates everything to make it look bigger, better, or even shitter than the reality. The final vote results didn't add up! It didn't take a genius to see why?

tbas7000.bsky.social•82 days ago

Hillary's margin against him was twice that.

He had half the margin of the time a girl beat him.

tomeck.bsky.social•82 days ago

He won by what 2% (give or take a couple) and they call it al landslide? My idea of one is a bigger margin than that

sugarsgirl.bsky.social•82 days ago

Still sickening that he won.

wolfggurl50.bsky.social•82 days ago

Lamestream media:
Before election they said, "remember w all kinds of ballot choices, it will take much longer to secure a final vote count."

3rd day post-election, "T* wins by a landslide. Congress gets MAGA mandate."

A month later? They're wrong but consumers get: crickets.

sentrinastrong.bsky.social•82 days ago

If only the media would call a lie, a lie!

seminefrius.bsky.social•82 days ago

I don’t really get why this is so important to people. Trump will soon total control over our govt

Our focus, the pro-America side, I mean, should be on making sure people understand he’d not making THEIR lives any better

We can start now with his proposals (and many are)

melindameyer.bsky.social•82 days ago

We'll hear it over and over and over for 4 long years.

michellefrantenauk.bsky.social•82 days ago

It was the best of times it was the 1.5% of times. Yikes, that hurts even more…. Yeah that’s practically a draw.

umanoid.bsky.social•82 days ago

the size of his win is imaginative like the size of his crowds. or his penis.

vortexy.bsky.social•82 days ago

As a 🌎 outsider, remains disconcerting Reality Dumpf 2.0 = Americans' democratic choice?

jnogo1.bsky.social•81 days ago

Unfortunately it’s a win.

laney502.bsky.social•82 days ago

Exactly!
There was a landslide of propaganda and a freight load of voter suppression… but we have to resist, and save their dumb asses again.

neutralantagonist.bsky.social•81 days ago

I still think Elmo hacked the election. Just a few votes here and there. No one would notice. Dude owned the internet provider all the votes were sent through. Annnnnd he said it would be easy to hack the election before he got on board with the orange diaperstain

johnspikowski.com•82 days ago

If you remove the Musk factor, Harris would have won.

feintglow.bsky.social•82 days ago

More like a little loose gravel.

sassykate.bsky.social•82 days ago

I think he meant "historic mudslide" and he was talking about his makeup

adamgny.bsky.social•82 days ago

It's painful to realize that sports analysts are actually way more realistic when writing opinion pieces about a team or player, while information that may actually matter is littered with hyperbolic exaggerations and euphemisms that either hide or bury the reality of the subject

flminjay.bsky.social•82 days ago

I am so tired of his constant need to be over the top in everything, even if there is proof he is lying. What a big baby he is to always reassure himself he is the best..but only in his own mind. The rest of us know what a mentally incompetent baffoon he is & the winner of he who lies the most!

ddmiller25.bsky.social•79 days ago

The only way Republicans win seats is because they cheat at every opportunity they can to delete voters

pretefunkera.bsky.social•82 days ago

He also will win with a plurality not a majority.

cahendry.bsky.social•82 days ago

We need to call him “Narrow Margin Trump”. It will drive him crazy.

mlorette.bsky.social•82 days ago

and that is questionable

femsocphd.bsky.social•82 days ago

I wonder how awfully that'd shrink w legit recount. 🤔

bigredaries.bsky.social•82 days ago

How about did not win?

andrewross.net•82 days ago

And with 49.9% of the popular vote, he can’t even claim to have won a majority of the votes.

erzherzogbrian.bsky.social•81 days ago

Weren't there a couple of GOP Presidents that ACTUALLY lost the popular vote? Wouldn't a negative% be lower?

hippiechick26.bsky.social•82 days ago

…and some of us don’t believe he won at all.

#Recount

batmobile63-65.bsky.social•81 days ago

Yo narrow ass margin!

gopjesus.bsky.social•82 days ago

What have I been telling you all for the past month? Do not obey in advance because the MAGAs claim they have a “mandate.” He barely won, and he didn’t even get a majority of the votes. https://pub.gop-jesus.com/what-mandate?r=4om310&utm_source=Bluesky

yikesamerica.bsky.social•82 days ago

I was watching Dave Portnoy cry about Hunter Biden & he repeated this lie. The MSM solidified this lie as fact w/ their coverage post election & we will hear it for the next 4 years nonstop

boxers4pres.bsky.social•82 days ago

Plus he lied to the American people to manipulate them into voting for him. Republicans haven't won an election honestly since 1980.

bluestateescape.bsky.social•82 days ago

I would call winning ALL THE BATTLEGROUND STATES a landslide.

virgopunk.bsky.social•82 days ago

Medhi doing the work! Putting in the overtime!

skepticallypleased.bsky.social•82 days ago

“Only” 300k (+) in the blue wall too - that’s still (for now at least) the election.

ladybetsy.bsky.social•82 days ago

Trump did not win the popular vote- more people voted against him than for him.

Work harder to tell the truth.

wisedan.bsky.social•82 days ago

Like in his mind he’s the man of little nightmares

dashingclaire.bsky.social•82 days ago

Ask the right question ⁉️ Did he actually win? California voting fraud. Next, a USPS mailbox in Phoenix, Arizona was set ablaze with 20 ballots inside. About 475 damaged ballots retrieved from burned drop box in Washington state, auditor says. And more states
