Trump's win was by less than Jimmy Carter's. Much less than Obama's or Clinton's. Just because trump repeats a lie doesn't make it true.
Here's how that beatdown went:— Townhall.com (@townhallcom) March 4, 2025
Now, there's so much wrong with that opening remark, so much ignorance aggressively on display here, that it's difficult to know where to begin. Fortunately, Stephen A. Smith took care of that.JOY BEHAR: He (Trump) has only been in office six weeks. It seems like six years, doesn't it? And he's been going around with his cronies, tabbing (sic) his so-called "landslide" and "blowout" win. But he won the popular vote by 1.5 percent, one of the smallest ever, he won the general election by less than fifty percent. So what kind of mandate is this really?
STEPHEN A. SMITH: It is a mandate, and I'm going to explain why.
Now I don't mind the question, but let me be very clear. I'm no supporter of Trump. I'm a supporter of truth and facts. And here's the facts. The man won every swing state. He increased in terms of his vote, his voter turnout, in his favor, from the standpoint of blacks, Latinos and young voters. He increased his numbers in that regard from 2020. 89 percent of the counties shifted to the right. That's a mandate.
We can sit up here and play around all we want to. In 2020, Trump didn't win the popular vote. He didn't win the electoral college vote. As a matter of fact the Republicans have won the popular vote, if I remember correctly, since 2004. But they did this year. So 20 years after they last won a popular vote, they won the popular vote. They won the electoral college vote. The man won every swing state. And on top of it all, 89 percent of the counties shifted (inaudible.)
I don't understand how people can look at that and say "There's no mandate." There's a mandate.
And that is with your sort, the media, the talking heads, the academics, the lawfare, the assassins.....
Yet America put you in your place.
