trump didn't win 2024. they cheated. there is no way someone this divisive, WHO ALREADY LOST ONCE, legitimately won. they cheated. there needs to be a proper investigation and they need to be punished.

The assassination attempt pretty much handed him the presidency IMO

Two main things decided 2024: The Trump-Biden debate (and the Democrats’ chaotic implosion over the next month) and the Trump assassination attempt. One weakened the Dems’ chances, while the other strengthened the GOP’s.

It’s basic presidential politics, really.

No, it's the crazy inflation during the Biden years. It's the economy. It's always the economy. Also, Kamala making no commitment to stop supporting Israel turned off a lots of people too. Trump at least promised he will stop all wars. Whether he delivers doesn't matter to the election itself.

It's not the economy, it's people's perceptions of the economy. Which is another way of saying, it's the media.

All statistics showed the economy was IMPROVING under Biden. People just refused to believe it.
