it literally wasn’t over half of voters. He got 49.9% of the vote
I should have been more specific. Trump received 49.8% of the nationwide popular vote in the 2024 presidential election, compared with Harris’s 48.3%. So only 98.1% of the votes actually mattered... that 1.9% of 'other' voters might as well have stayed home and masturbated. So 1/2 of the votes that actually mattered would be 49.05% which Trump exceeded while Harris fell well short.
I really don’t think they wanted to blow the economy up right before the election.
Do you think Trump actually gives a fuck? He's building a ballroom, an arc, a golf course, and tearing down the Kennedy Center so he can remake it in his name. Do you really think he has any intention of leaving office regardless of the economy or what the voters want?
Trump isn't doing any of this because it's good for the United States or because it will please the voters. He's doing it to enrich himself and to aide Putin. His corruption and treason are both right out in the open.
