Summary

Donald Trump continues to falsely claim he won the “biggest mandate in 129 years,” despite evidence disproving his assertion.

In fact, Trump secured 316 Electoral College votes and won the popular vote by 1.47%, one of the smallest margins of victory in the popular vote since the 19th century.

Analyses show his victory was neither a landslide nor unprecedented, but Trump’s team inflates the narrative to project greater legitimacy and influence.

Experts note this tactic—repeating exaggerated claims—aims to obscure inconvenient truths and bolster his image.

    Have I not made it clear? Nothing on american’s end. Just keep on upvoting articles filling you with illusions of self-righteousness until that knock on the door finally comes. Fine by me.

    Or… you could “Rage, rage against the dying of the light”. I’m not holding my breathe for that one though.

      it’s weird how you are really specific when accusing everyone of behaving in the same non-constructive way but then you’re really vague about what you expect people to do.

      All your grandiose literary imagery makes it difficult to understand what you’re trying to say.
