"The Libido for the Ugly"
“We not only won a mandate, but we built a new American majority that will lead our country to success for generations to come.”
I'd ask "In what world?" While Trump is known to exaggerate and bloviate (he himself called his way of speaking Truthful Hyperbole), this one caught my attention. As I'm sure the attention of lots of people who are not susceptible to being managed and culled by an entertainer like Trump (Trump says his insulting remarks toward women were for ‘entertainment’).

WASHINGTON (AP) — President-elect Donald Trump used one last rally on the eve of his inauguration to again celebrate his election victory, declaring Sunday, “We won” to a crowd celebrating his return to the White House and projecting defiant optimism despite deep national political divisions.
“Tomorrow, at noon, the curtain closes on four long years of American decline, and we begin a brand-new day of American strength and prosperity, dignity and pride,” Trump told supporters, adding, “We not only won a mandate, but we built a new American majority that will lead our country to success for generations to come.”
Reality: no mandate. When half or even less than half of voters support a candidate, I'd hardly claim the winning candidate possess a mandate.
Fact: There is no new American majority. Not in reality. Many of the Trump voters in 2024, are not even on board with the MAGA crowd.
