I suppose I ought to begin with the compulsory caveat – for anybody on the market who might endure from acute TDS (Trump Derangement Syndrome). Let me be clear: I’m NOT a Donald Trump fan…and that’s placing it politely. Then once more, I’m not a Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton fan both. They’re ALL a horrible alternative for POTUS, imo – albeit for various causes.

To labour the purpose, if somebody put a gun to my head, earlier than the elections, and stated; “Trump or Harris, choose.” I’d say…”Dr Jill Stein”. That’s proper. I’d slightly have my brains blown out than help both of these corrupt, warmongering, captured candidates.

BESIDES, WHY SHOULD WE (SA) CARE WHO WON?

Why ought to I give a sh*t concerning the US presidential election, anyway? Why do you have to? Don’t we now have sufficient urgent issues proper right here at dwelling?

Sure, however because the outdated saying goes; when America sneezes the entire world catches…Covid. And forewarned is forearmed.

HOW COULD IT POSSIBLY HAPPEN?

Of course, Trump’s “landslide” victory has Democrats reeling – once more. By now, most of you may have most likely seen these viral comp videos of wokey-woke lefties tearing hair, gnashing tooth, bawling their eyes out…and simply usually shedding their sh*t – stay on TikTookay – over Trump’s mega MAGA win.

Likewise, pollsters, pundits, analysts and media shops are scratching their heads in befuddlement questioning how the hell Trump defied the polls, and all odds, and scored such a seismic win.

So…how did it occur?

WELL, WHY WOULDN’T IT HAPPEN?

Sure, it was the induction of Elon, Tulsi, Tucker and RFK Jr into Trump’s camp. Sure, it was Trump’s (and Musk’s) interview with Joe Rogan – boosted by Rogan’s endorsement of Trump on the eleventh hour. Sure, it was most likely that sequence of damning, devastating, exposé movies by Candace Owens that blew the lid off Kamala’s (and Obama’s) fake historical past.

Sure, it was the McDonald’s and Garbage Man stunts.

However, the actual query ought to be; why WOULDN’T it occur? Don’t the Democrats realise by now? The greatest reward to Trump and the Republicans…is the Democrats.

DID THE DEMS INADVERTENTLY BOOST TRUMP’S VOTER BASE? 

Let’s face it. The Democrats just about did an amazing job of boosting Trump’s reputation – from day one. One may argue they virtually handed Trump his second presidency…on a woke, gender-neutral, silver platter.

They did it after they repeatedly attacked Trump, since his inauguration, by having their sock-puppet, propaganda media – like CNN, MSNBC and Rachel “Mad Cow” Maddow – endlessly bash Trump, 24/7, 365, giving him billions of {dollars} value of free publicity within the course of.

They additionally did it after they prioritized their laundry listing of insanely “woke” home insurance policies over extra urgent points just like the economic system, immigration, crumbling infrastructure, and ending the infinite wars.

And, in fact, they did it by beginning two new wars.

REPUBLICANS: THE NEW “REBELS”?

By drifting up to now to the woke, la-la land left, the libdems have finally made the “right-wing” conservatives appear positively…sane, by comparability. Like Rogan stated to Trump, “The rebels are Republicans now.”

TRUMP, A SUPERNATURAL SURVIVOR?

Love him or hate him, you need to hand it to Big Don – the man’s a survivor. A teflon-plated, titanium-coated, diamond-dusted, bullet-proof survivor. Forget rhino disguise, this man’s acquired pores and skin as thick as a Stegosaur.

Lest we overlook, earlier than and since 2016, he’s dodged or survived infinite MSM assaults and smears, years of filibustering and frivolous lawfare, legal costs, incarceration, impeachment, accusations of racism, fascism and nazism, getting p*ssed on by Russian prozzies (from Putin’s private harem), being known as each identify within the democrat playbook, from Hitler, to Stalin, to Mussolini, and weathered the Stormy Daniels saga with out sinking.

Not to say, three assassination makes an attempt – considered one of which fell solely two inches in need of succeeding. Now it appears sure he’ll dodge prosecution and jail time as a result of the US Department of Justice simply announced that they will drop all federal legal instances towards Trump earlier than he takes workplace.

Trump survived all that and bounced proper again…and into the Oval Office. Again.

WAS IT THAT OCTOBER SURPRISE… IN NOVEMBER?

However, it wasn’t simply the Dems and Trump’s band of devoted, highly effective, influential figures round him who performed a giant half in his victory.

Something else occurred within the final week of the presidential race that most certainly considerably boosted Trump’s marketing campaign trajectory, and ensured that his win went from marginal and questionable, to an undisputed avalanche.

But that’s one other story. (You would possibly name it a story…of a tail.)

What say you, SA? How did Trump, “The Comeback King” pull off a second devastating win towards the Democrats?
