Very well said, as well. Thanks.While many people (critics) say Trump's victory was exaggerated----because of either who he ran against, and/or because the Democratic party was bifurcated, divided, had little to no choice as to who the final candidate would be, etc.----the way I see it, the victory was by a much larger margin than expected, than most thought, than the legit polls said, and so on.Hey, the electoral vote is not representative of the "masses" so to speak. We get that. But the popular vote is. It may not count, but it is, LOL. However, is simply not believable to me that all these people voted for Trump simply because they did not want to vote for Harris. Some, yes, without question. But legitimate polls and focus groups did say that the majority of the people who did not want to vote for Harris----simply would not vote for Trump because he was the only candidate left to vote for----but that the majority of these people would simply not vote for either. Who knows. I do know one thing; like I said, he's the President, he's my President.[/quotDiscussing politics is not something I normally do, but just this once I will. I truly believe Biden won in 2020 not necessarily because people like him but because a vote for Biden was a vote against Trump. In 2024 the tables were turned and alot of people voted for Trump because it was a vote against Kamala and the Biden administration, not necessarily because they liked Trump.

Totally agree with your point of view!..most people forget that Hillary Clinton won the popular vote over Donald Trump in 2016 by 2.9 million but he won the electoral vote...and thats what counts..right now anyways
Sorry Mr. Fix-it. The truth is that despite the warts, he was the far better choice for President. Harris, as inept as Biden was had no clue how to govern. All fluff, no substance. As for flawed Presidents, take you pick. There were many. Kennedy and Clinton womanizers. LBJ a racist. Nixon a crook. Grant a drunk. America's history is littered with flawed men who sat in the big chair.
BigBettor .... when you are typing the above, do you think for a minute that maybe that is the ultimate proof the Dems were simply out to get him?
I find it humorous that video of Barack Obama where he clearly states that government waste needed to be addressed..."line item by line item" has surfaced.But yet the dems did nothing but offer more free money through social entitlement programs.The interest on our debt is over 1.7 trillion this year, we will soon be unable to support any social entitlement programs such as medicare, medicaid,social security, veteran's benefits etc.But yet the dems were spending billions to house and feed illegals, and send money to Ukraine for an unwinnable war...and we American taxpayers were going to continue to pay for this BS.Thank God for Trump, and thank Trump for bringing Musk to the party...without severe restrictions we will be a third rate power and the Chinese will be calling all the shots.It will take more than a month to straighten out the mess we are in...Hell it took Biden/Harris/Obama regime a lot longer than that to screw it up.
Looks like Trump still Putin’s puppet:US joins Russia to vote against UN resolution condemning Russia’s war against Ukraine
