    What were his ratings like prior to the pandemic hitting? I always thought if the economy is doing well, chances are you'll get that second term. Maybe not applicable to Trump, though.

    Yeah he always had the economy to ride on, if it wasn't for the pandemic he would have easily won. It is crazy how many people that have no stock or any benefits from the current stock market high, yet they claim this being one of his achievements

    Lol that was about as tragic a press conference you can get. He is absolutely reeling that he lost and he is desperate to try and create a legacy. He is in bits.

    Before it all I thought I wanted to see Biden win by a complete washout but this has been epic. Trump has really put the rubber stamp on the complete shambles of his presidency. Embarrassed daily in courts all over the country by even Republican judges. Super serial squad solicitors holding pressers outside sex shops. His knight in shining armor leaking oil.

    Just glorious.

    Do you have any idea how much Trump won by?

    Yes. A non positive number. A massively non positive number.

    It is clearly really bugging him that this pandemic robbed him of a second term.

    It robbed him of nothing. If anything it could have won him a 2nd term. He went for the conspiracy angle from the start, despite knowing the grim reality of it and how serious it is.

    Yes, it was his cack-handed handling of the pandemic which was the most injurious thing to his chances of re-election. He tried to blame it all on China, but this doesn't really stand up because it's a bit like saying that you wouldn't have been in a car accident if the driver in front hadn't braked so suddenly. You have to accept your own part of the fault of not giving enough room to allow for that, and Trump never fully accepted his own part in not overseeing a cogent response to the pandemic. A man so openly divisive during a time of need like that is not a man fit to lead.

    Yes, if he had followed up sealing the borders with lockdowns like Australia had, he'd be president now.

    Or even sealed the borders and ineffectively faffed about like Coumo did, he'd be president now.

    He really f'd up the pandemic which actually if treated spun like a war would have as you said secured victory.

    A number of them are just attention seekers, like John Lydon.

    Yup, Lydon still straining to be shocking in his dotage, bless him. :)

    He made a balls of it.

    What could have been a Churchill moment for him, turning a crisis into a galvanising and unifying force whereby he could encourage everyone to do their bit in the face of adversity and bring everyone together, turned into a Hitler one instead, with him bunkering down, spouting falsehoods and refusing to face the reality of the situation.

    Covid could have be his "falklands" if he'd played his cards right. But instead he chose to talk bollocks instead.

    How are the mainstream right wingers handling Trump losing?

    Charlie Kirk seems deluded....even more so.

    I don't think this point is made enough; despite being an absolutely odious individual who's done a lot of real dodgy **** and who genuinely couldn't organise a piss up in a brewery; in addition to being around some really scummy people; I reckon if he had of just treated this thing seriously he would won this race handily.

    I'm sure they're all over on parler, or will pop in a while after being "very busy" in real life :) At least one of them is still Walter Mittying things over on the shares threads.

    After four years of seeing them post it i think we are allowed a low dig back now and then. And seeing as they have all mysteriously disappeared sure whats the harm? ;)

    I give a poster like kid chameleon his due in that he didn’t constantly change his name and admitted quite often when he made mistakes. The ones who kept re regging and the laughable one who pretended to be a democrat then slowly came round to be a trump supporter or the same poster who just pretended to be a Biden supporter and when he was outed posted MAGA 2020 I’ll be back in November to gloat, now they are deserving of any digs they get.

    At what point do they stop believing this is all part of the plan and Donald didn't plan to lose all these lower court cases and lose the vote?

    I mean they will never believe the election was legitimate. That seems obvious but when do they stop thinking it is 4 more years? I mean surely after a year or 2 of Biden they will see he has lost whether or not they believe it legitimate?

    It wouldn't do it for me. It's football team supporter politics. Why bother lowering yourself to their level?
