So he has no “mandate.” So what. He won the election and is president for the next four years, mandate or not. BTW, he has majorities in both houses of Congress.
It doesn’t matter to Trump, he will do whatever he can get away with. But! It does matter when we push back on the media and their willingness to sanewash him.
Why would that matter? We should be pushing back regardless of his margin of victory. He's a felon, probable rapist and probably in the throes of dementia.
MAGA are good at messaging (in their case usually synonymous with 'lying') so if it's about a "narrative", no matter how detached from truth and facts, they are usually one step ahead.
The fact that if a few more registered Dems had taken their collective apathetic asses to the voting booth, we’d have Harris in the WH! It makes me furious!
Dems who don’t vote, elect Republicans.
Trump couldn't get cream with his coffee at Starbucks with the minuscule popular vote lead he got... Al Gore got the same popular vote lead and he never got in the WH... mandate... that's a laugh... 😏
When the unemployment rate hits 10% will see how all the frat boys, bros culture and online pranksters feel…oh wait, they still live off their parents’ dime.
The propaganda state is starting now with republican talking heads. Get this, emergency action military rounding up millions of people and deporting them, that's okay. Because Trump made some kind of promise while campaigning now it's okay He does this that is absolutely b***. No f* mandate is right
It almost makes me more angry. All the stupids who didn't vote, who protest voted, &/or who voted for the adjudicated rapist because they couldn't bring themselves to vote for a woman did this to us.
May they reap what they've sown & their children too. And yes, that is a curse.
While we need to pay attention. We also need to move on. Both parties have failed us for years. We need a new party the peoples party. We have time if we all come together to dethrone those in Washington who have only self served. About 80-90%. Let's get people together.
Here's how I think the media should explain it. Trump got less than half the vote. And based on an estimate of 244,000,000 eligible voters, he got support from less than one third. That's not a mandate.
Still waiting until all the recounts are done. It just doesn't make sense. Also Trump's quip about we don't need your votes before the vote sounded like he had somehow fixed it.
1/3 of voters choose t not 1/2. Out of that 1/3 I’d guess 1/2 is maga. The other half voted because they are anti democrat or mad about inflation. Why the hell does main stream media always say 1/2 the country is behind him and his agenda? Maybe 1/6th is into his cruelty the the rest are clueless.
Yes, no mandate, but also, NO WIN. The swing state results are unnatural. More than 100+ hacking and counter-hacking experts have been fighting to call attention to this.
As always, trump has to inflate everything both to satisfy his fragile ego, and to keep his fans attention. Just like at his rallies when people in the crowd stop paying attention (which happened on a minute to minute basis), he'd drop some hyperbole or trigger word. Jangling keys is all it is.
Of course. It's was the greatest, the biggest ever in history. No one has ever done this. No one has ever had the numbers he has. The biggest of all time. ***SARCASM***
I hope there are people getting this kind of thing in front of Trump and his pinheads... I'm not on Truth Social anymore, but maybe that was a mistake. A minor one to be sure.
I agree 100%. There was no mandate, and I'm betting that once he starts implementing some of his policies, a lot of people are going to have buyers' remorse! Harris could have done a few better ( explain that inflation was a worldwide issue ). But she ran a good, honest campaign!
Tariffs will affect us all (sadly) but I can't wait until the Magats find out just what they voted for. There will some small amount of "I told you so."
Yep. It will be hard to keep my mouth shut in my very red community when they start getting exactly what they voted for. I live where there are a LOT of Mexicans. When the undocumented leave, who is going to clean the MAGAt houses, landscape/maintain their yards, build their houses?

Only one party’s voting rights are being attacked-successfully. Trump isn’t even a legitimate winner-no mandate.
Now that he was elected (still don't believe that) he's referred to as Mr Trump.
