The Fascist Guy Thinks He Has a ‘Bigly’ Mandate; He Does Not

After winning the popular vote by the one of slimmest margins among post-Second World War presidential victories, The Fascist Guy ‘thinks’ he has an ‘unprecedented’ mandate; he does not. TFG’s popular vote victory places him in 16th place, just behind Jimmy Carter, but ahead of his 2016 performance when he lost the popular vote but still won the keys to the White House.  Although TFG won the Electoral College by 312 to 226, he is estimated to win the popular vote ONLY by around 1.6 percent.

Presidents have historically used real mandates to bring about revolutionary changes. Thomas Whalen, an author and presidential historian at Boston University, said Trump’s claim of an unprecedented mandate was “laughable” when compared to landslides won by Ronald Reagan and Johnson.

REALITY IS HARD FOR TRUMP SUPPORTERS Trump may have wonthe election, but even Fox News recognizes there is no mandate.
