Why did Trump lose?

[Mac1958]

I have noted that opinions differ and solicit your speculations.

Which of the following, if any, approximate what you suspect is the major reason:

1. The election merely reflected his having lost the popular vote in 2016 and the public sentiment remaining consistent, as he was relentlessly unpopular in survey after survey throughout his tenure.
2. He repeatedly scoffed at and minimized the threat posed by a pandemic that resulted in over 20 million infections, over 350,000 deaths, and the strain on dedicated healthcare providers to the breaking point.
3. He was the victim of a vast, very mysterious conspiracy in which Republican governors, Republican secretaries of state, Republican attorneys general, Republican county clerks, and Republican judges throughout the land were decisively complicit.
4. He was beaten by a sleepy, senile, corrupt Chinese sock puppet whom the American electorate deemed to be decidedly superior.

I hope all who entertain theories will share their analyses while refraining from vituperation, revilement, and diversionary ploys.

Civil, dispassionate discussion and sprightly discourse concerning causative factors, one might hope, ensue.

Several factors, but his pathetic behavior over the virus sealed his fate.

He could have tried to be an effective leader in a crisis, but chose instead to act like a talk radio host.

I would say the virus response was the big one.

If he had handled that better (or if it had not existed), he'd be back in the WH.

Very possible.

Exactly what you want in a US president. Someone who kisses the asses of dictators. LOL

Trump is a businessman. He used his years of acumen to be a very successful businessman and extrapolated that to his presidency. Trump knew how to get things done. Unlike career politicians, he didn't give a shit what people said about him, or what the media printed, or what his party thought. He did whatever he had to do, even at his own sacrifice and humiliation, for the American people.

Done? What precisely did kissing the ass of China do about corona at the start of the pandemic? LOL. I love how Trump supporters twist themselves into knots to conjure up some reason to defend him.

His years as a scammer and failed businessman directly led to him lying about the virus to the american people, just like he lied to all his investors about how wonderful the businesses they help put money into are doing. He's been doing this his entire life.

what about this lie...I never had sex with that woman Ms lewinsky...that was a big fat one

74,000,000 votes...Trump lost by .04%.
But don't let me stop you from hyperbolizing.

What a joke! Trump got 8.68% fewer votes than Biden.

and he got zero percent of the Mail in vote...duh

 

[basquebromance]

Trump had his moment, he had his chance to lead. he didn't, Biden will

poor dems...trump will be ruling their heads for decades

The failed casino operator and faded reality tv performer is a sordid episode in American history, textbooks henceforth featuring his double-impeachment distinction and unique break with the nation's proud tradition of peaceful transfers of power.

The loser will alway abide up his lickspittles' trumpy place, of course.

Either Trump was kissing as as your comrades claim, or he ruined our relationship. You better get together with your fellow Communists do decide which one it is, because it can't be both.

Sure it can. That's the problem with a petulant child, you never know what part of the tantrum he is going to be in.

Trump will be back in 2024.

bullshit - there is no paywall, ray ray... here it is - in it's entirety & guess where WaPo got it's FACTS? straight from politifact as you can see in the article:

Yes, it is a paywall unless you never or seldom went to their site. They give you X amount of free reads, and after that, it's pay or you can't see it.

Why the discrepancy? Perhaps this will give us an idea: Trump told Washington Post reporters that he counted the first three bankruptcies as just one.

Fine. Count it as one bankruptcy or ten. It still doesn't discount the fact that for one, it was during a recession, and two, given the hundreds of his business adventures, it's still a hell of a winning record which is how he became a multi-billionaire.

 

[krichton]

How many CEOs are proud of losing hundreds of millions like Trump has?

Think Trump is the only one? I'm sure they're very proud with a 1% bankruptcy record.

Trump is a walking money pit. I credit him for being the biggest scam artist ever. He borrows hundreds of millions of dollars from banks and then never pays it back, then files for bankruptcy and does it over and over. Who wouldn't be a billionaire if they did that?

Over and over? He filed four bankruptcies in his entire career. I don't think that qualifies for over and over.

Um......yes, it does.... If you repeatedly perform a certain act multiple times, you're doing it over and over. And for the record, he filed for bankruptcy 6 times.

Comprehension challenged I see. You really need to address that.

I pointed out that Trump owned or operated 500 businesses in his career, and a few bankruptcies is less than 1% of the businesses he ran. And you keep saying "6 bankruptcies, 6 bankruptcies) as if you didn't read a word I wrote.

Trump’s Former Lawyer Now Argues “No Reasonable Person” Would Believe Her Voter Fraud Lies Were “Fact”

Indeed, most reasonable people did not believe her, but a lot of unreasonable people did. In her defense against the defamation claims against her, oddly dishonest lawyer Powell not claims she was lying...
