How Donald Trump Won The Presidency

The election was fair. There were no conspiracies. And any Democratic voter who after four years of madness and treachery and sedition makes up and embraces whole cloth the same conspiracies that the MAGA people embraced, that makes you the same as them, equal threats to America. Elections have consequences, and this one will have seismic consequences domestically on the

North American continent and all around the world. Donald Trump isn't just the most prolific liar in American history to hold the public office, because Donald Trump is an exquisite scumbag, a liar, a seditionist, but he's not a hypocrite. He is exactly as he appears to be, and in a world of astounding hypocrisy, a great many people find it refreshing. So how did this happen when it came to the chaos at the border and there was not chaos the

day that Trump left? Who was telling the truth about that? Was it Biden or was it Trump? And what about the more important issue Biden's condition? And the great gas lighting by the Biden White House, the lies eagerly embraced and supported by the media, but clearly seen by the American people. Who was telling the truth about Biden, House or Trump? And so one hundred days before the election, the incapacitated eighty two year old president fell flat on his face and had to drop out of the race.

And there was no competition. The person Kamala Harris who became the nominee has only ever run one competitive race in her life. You don't get elected to the United States Senate in California and competitive races. The process to become the nominee is competitive, but not the election process. The first time that Kamala Harris ran in a national election,

it was an unmitigated disaster. In fact, it was such a disaster that what she said in that campaign about paying for transgender reassignment surgery for prisoners helped doom her in this campaign. In the first campaign, Kamala Harris did not perform well. In this campaign, she performed to the utmost of her abilities. She performed very, very well. But it wasn't enough. And it wasn't enough because the fundamental question in a change election was what would you do differently?

And Kamala Harris went on the view and this happened. Would you have done something differently than President Biden during the past four years, there is not a thing that comes to mind in terms of and I've been a part of most of the decisions that have had impact.

Joe Biden promised to be a one term president. He broke that promise with the greatest act of selfishness in American political history, titanic act of egotism, supported and led by his wife Jill, and his advisors who wanted to cling to the power their proximity brought them as much as Jill Biden, as much as Joe Biden, Steve Anita Dunn, Mike Donlin in a small group of other powerful aids, bullied the media, intimidated the media, cut off access and

succeeded in shutting down all in any conversation about whether Biden was in a position to run again. Now, the American people, forty percent of whom don't have four hundred dollars available, reacted to the inflation. Biden and his team named it Bidenomics, said it was great and called Biden

fder and the American people didn't agree. Now, Chuck Schumer should have already resigned as the Senate Democratic leader because of the incompetency of the political operation that has achieved the result that Chuck Schumer and his team incredibly put out a news release about claiming victory. Trust me, it's not going to look like victory when the whack jobs start getting confirmed into Donald Trump administration. Schumer has to go. In fact, all of the geriatrics need to go. What

needs to happen is a reckoning with reality. Donald Trump beat Joe Biden, not so much Kamala Harris, though she was on the ballot and she could have done some things differently, which we'll talk about in a different post. But what elected Donald Trump was ego, And as I've said many times, there's no flower in all the world more delicate than the male ego. Can you hear it? I can In all of the stories suggesting that only if Joe Biden had stayed in the race, that Donald

Trump wouldn't be president, nonsense. Joe Biden is the architect of this disaster. He is its major shareholder. He did this, He did this to the country, and he did it because he wanted more. It's as simple as that, and the damage that will come next lies at his feet.

The conduct was shameful, the ring of people trying to surround him and shout down even at this hour, criticism of the obvious is despicable and I won't have it seeing a lot of Democratic leaders at this hour pretend that they did not do everything in their power to deny and evade the obvious, that they didn't shut down a primary that was the salvation of the Democratic Party. No, not here. There are plenty of other platforms where the

bullshittary will flow freely. Here at the warning, reality will be embraced, Reality will be discussed, so that one thousand, four hundred and sixty days from now we will be celebrating the defeat of Report Publican nominee jdie Vance, and it will be hard to do, because the tide of the electorate is to give these two not four more years,

but eight years. And at the current rate of introspection inside the Democratic Party, it may take eight hundred and fifty years to be ready to put forward a candidate that can rebuke the mistakes by running a campaign that's hopeful, that's optimistic, that's forward and connected to the American people. Kamala Harris stood up and very much was the woman in the arena that Teddy Roosevelt wrote about long ago. She has my deep respect, she has my gratitude, and

I hope she has yours. But the defeat and its author do not have my respect, and I hope they don't have yours, because they did a terrible thing, and now we pay the bill. In the end, there are hundreds of reasons why Donald Trump won this election. Face them, do not turn away from them. He's a world class demagogue, and now he has power pile in our office. Is the most powerful president in American history, fundamentally unchecked, restrained

only by his goodwill. We're going to be in trouble for some time, but there will be a moment ahead when Donald Trump will overreach disaster will follow, and an opportunity to offer something new and something different will be on the table. What should be on the table is not some radical vision, but a vision of Americanism, an embrace of pluralism and of our core identity e plural bazoon am out of many one. The Democratic Party will evolve, it will change, it will adjust after this. I hope

it needs to be an opportunity party. It needs to say big things, important things, and its candidates need to lay out a vision that inspires. But the Biden camp and the Biden White House demanded in story after story that there'd be expressions of gratitude for the president, that Joe Biden be celebrated as a world's historical figure. And so this is the bubble, an expression of it, and it was pierced on contact with the American people, who

in fact think Biden was an awful president. But if the Democratic Party wants to maintain that he was FDR and Harry Truman and John Kennedy and Barack Obama all bundled together, then one four hundred and sixty days from now we'll be getting ready for forty three year old President JD. Vance and I don't want to see that. It was clear two plus years ago what would happen if Joe Biden ran for another term, and it happened. How Kamala Harris got into this race was through a

ejection button. She had to come in the race on a parachute, and she did amazing things in it, raised more money than any candidate ever a billion dollars. She made few mistakes, but one of them was playing it so cautious that she forgot to say big things and offer great ideas to do what John Kennedy did in

point forward to a new horizon, a new frontier. American politics is about poetry, and when the politics requires poetry of better of imagination, against the poetry of darkness, the crudities that came out of Donald Trump's mouth, it was just missing. This is a terrible moment for America. It's going to be a tragic moment for the country. No good will come from this. Donald Trump is going to

try to do terrible things. Quitting isn't an option. One of the things about authoritarian is systems is the ubiquity of the leader in the ceaselessness of politics. It just never stops. It's always in your face, and that's what it's going to be like. Of life is civics, civic duty. We need to be engaged, we need to be involved, and real people need to be able to look at someone like Chuck Schumer clinging to power and understand he's not on your side and MAGA has no better friend.

Right now, it's not time to start planning the next election. Now it's the time to stare in the mirror for a good long while and to look with laser focus at the leadership of the Democratic Party, the Washington insiders, the lobbyists, the corporations. All of it together has created a ten eared orchestra of loserdom and it can't be playing the same tune for years from now. This is the warning. I'm Steve Schmidt.
