Trump claims a mandate.

[Hector12]

Former President Trump declared the country had delivered him and Republicans an “unprecedented mandate” as he took a victory lap early Wednesday after multiple outlets projected he would win the White House.

“This is a moment like nobody’s ever seen before. Frankly, this was, I believe, the greatest political movement of all time. There’s never been anything like this in this country,” Trump told supporters in Florida who had gathered for his campaign’s watch party.

For Trump to have a mandate he would have needed to have been elected by a landslide. He has never had majority support.

Even landslides do not guarantee success. In 1964 President Lyndon Johnson defeated Senator Barry Goldwater by 61%. The Democrats won two to one majorities in both houses of Congress.

In 1964 the Democrat mandate was restricted to preserving the reforms of the New Deal and to avoiding a war with the Soviet Union. The Democrats overstepped their mandate by making punishment for criminals less likely and less severe, making welfare benefits more generous and easier to qualify for, reducing restrictions on immigration, and passing two civil rights laws, each of which was followed by black ghetto riots.

The result was the election in 1968 of Richard Nixon, and the success of his Southern Strategy.

Nixon's landslide victory in 1972 could not defend him from the Watergate investigation and being forced to resign in 1974.

Because Trump has never read one of the Trump Bibles that were printed in Communist China, he has never encountered Proverbs 16:18 Pride goeth before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.

He won the popular vote. That is the majority. Loser.

Perfect for Democrats. For Republicans, it's important to remember this Proverbs. Remain humble. But, this was a mandate concerning Biden-Harris 4 years of high inflation, interest rates and illegal border crossings. The latter for sure did Harris in.

Can't remember exactly which election it was but when Bill Clinton was president Republicans had a "Contract With America" which was one of the biggest waves in the history of politics. It allowed both the House and the Senate to twist Clinton's arm behind his back and make him cry uncle.

Inflation has come full circle for the Biden administration.
Consumer price growth slowed to its lowest pace since February 2021 — the first full month President Joe Biden was in office, the Labor Department said Thursday in its final inflation report before Election Day.

The data, while a bit hotter than expected, points to an economy experiencing cooler inflation even as the job market remains sturdy and interest rates ease.

Inflation cools to lowest level since February 2021

The average U.S. household has been out-earning inflation for the last two years, though many are still adjusting to prices that have climbed more than 21% altogether since early 2020.

It is enough of a margin of victory to tempt Trump into making catastrophic mistakes, like substantially raising tariffs on Chinese goods.

Trump is so ignorant that he does not understand that tariffs are taxes on consumers.

1994, with Newt Gingrich as Speaker. It’s why he Clinton moved to the center.

Why do you think he doesn’t know? Maybe there’s another reason for doing this and he knows the amount of increase in inflation will be minimal compared to the reason for doing this.

And a woman who cannot define what a woman is plenty capable of making serious mistakes. By the way, he knew and was being facetious. You leftist Democrats always twist anything he says to start more contention.

Exactly

Remove birthright citizenship for anchor babies

Build the wall and deploy the regular Army along the border if necessary

Institute Remain in Mexico

And deport illegal aliens who are here now, starting with known criminals and the DACAs

Also designate the drug cartel as a terrorist organization

winning both the EC and popular vote and every swing state is a mandate, a landslide, or whatever term you want to use, the American people have spoken and rejected the deep state liberal corruption and perversion.

Trump has a mandate for improving the standard of living for working class and lower middle class whites. If he does not do that, and I do not think he will, his mandate will disappear as did the mandates of President's Johnson and Nixon. As I have pointed out, Johnson and Nixon started out with a much larger percentage of the popular vote than Trump had last November.

LBJ had Kennedy killed and grew the Viet Nam fiasco. Tricky dick nixon was a terrible president who had to resign. Not good examples to make any point you are trying to make.

Johnson did not have Kennedy killed. Get back to me four years from now on the popularity of Trump.

 

[Anathema]

I wouldn’t call it a Mandate. I would call it a two year opportunity to make significant changes… so long as the Republicans Party can put enough of a leash on their more moderate members in Congress and keep them in line.

Personally, I think the Chief of Staff needs to come up with a list of potential and known traitors to the Administration (Collins, Murkowski, etc…) and explain that their will be serious repercussions for not toeing the line.

 

[Mr. Friscus]

Johnson did not have Kennedy killed. Get back to me four years from now on the popularity of Trump.

Your predictions mean nothing, why make them?
