The left is desperate to convince America that President Trump has no mandate, that he’s dividing the country, and that voters don’t support his efforts. They repeat these claims repeatedly, hoping that if they say it enough, people will believe it.
But there’s just one problem. They’re wrong on every single count.
A political mandate comes from the people, not the media, not the establishment, and certainly not the loudest voices on Twitter. The 2024 election results made one thing abundantly clear: the American people chose strength, leadership, and results over the chaos and incompetence of the left.
Here’s what happened:
- 76,964,586 votes (50%) to his opponent’s 74,027,511 (48.1%)—a decisive margin.
- A 312-226 Electoral College win, securing a second term with authority.
- Flipped Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin—states the left thought they had locked down.
But here’s the statistic that completely shatters the left’s narrative: Trump increased his vote total in every single county across the country.
Think about that. Not just in red states. Not just in conservative strongholds. Every county. The media won’t talk about it, but it proves one undeniable fact: Trump’s support didn’t erode—it grew.
And yet, the left refuses to accept it.
Jessica Tarlov, one of the most prominent liberal voices on Fox News, recently tried to claim that Trump’s popularity was slipping. Meanwhile, Katie Phang at MSNBC had an absolute meltdown on X, tweeting in all caps:
“THERE IS NO MANDATE.”
Well, Katie, if increasing your vote total in every county in America isn’t a mandate, what is?
One of the left’s favorite talking points is that Trump is “divisive.” But what’s truly divisive—and dangerous—is ignoring the will of the American people while pretending their voices don’t matter.
Trump isn’t dividing the country—he’s uniting voters around common-sense policies that actually improve their lives. His handling of immigration is a perfect example.
- 51% of Americans now approve of his immigration policies—a 7-point increase from his first term. Why? Because they’re working.
- Border crossings have dropped dramatically as Trump restores order and puts American workers first.
- Sanctuary cities—once hailed as progressive utopias—are collapsing under the weight of their own bad policies, forcing even Democratic mayors to beg for relief.
Trump isn’t just making promises on the world stage—he’s taking action.
- This past weekend, he ordered the strike that took out the leader of ISIS, a decisive move against global terrorism.
- He put the Houthis on notice, retaliating after they harassed U.S. naval vessels in the Red Sea.
The left calls that “divisive.” Most Americans call it leadership.
For years, the media has tried to convince Americans that Trump’s support is eroding. Every time they predict a collapse, reality slaps them in the face.
- Trump’s approval rating remains at 45% despite an unrelenting smear campaign from the press.
- In swing states, his numbers are holding steady or even improving, leaving Democrats in panic mode.
- His policies are gaining traction at the state level, with multiple legislatures considering DOGE-style government efficiency programs to cut waste and corruption.
Even global leaders have learned the hard way that Trump’s leadership isn’t just rhetoric—it’s forceful and effective. Countries that initially resisted his tougher trade tariffs are now caving and renegotiating deals on America’s terms. They’ve realized they can either work with Trump or lose in the long run.
And it’s not just foreign leaders capitulating. Here at home, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer led the charge against Trump’s continuing resolution to keep the government funded—until he, too, was forced to fold. After blustering opposition, Schumer had no choice but to cede to Trump’s demands, proving once again that the president’s leadership isn’t just strong—it’s unstoppable.
If Trump were as unpopular as the left claims, would his movement still be growing? Would state leaders be adopting his policies? Would global leaders and Senate Democrats be repeatedly forced to concede to his plans?
The truth is obvious. The left knows it. They just don’t want you to.
While the left whines and throws tantrums, Trump gets things done.
Just this week alone, he:
1. Signed two major laws aimed at strengthening the economy and bolstering national security.
2. Issued a dozen executive orders, cutting bureaucratic red tape, improving infrastructure, and ensuring his campaign promises were met.
3. Authorized military action that struck a serious blow against terrorist organizations, proving once again that America is back on offense.
This is what real leadership looks like. Not empty rhetoric, not partisan grandstanding—action.
The left isn’t attacking Trump’s mandate because they actually believe he doesn’t have one. They’re attacking it because they fear they may never have one again.
Think about the pattern:
- Trump won in 2016—the left called it a fluke.
- Trump grew his support in 2020—the left claimed it didn’t matter.
- Now, in 2024, he increased his vote totals in every single county in America—and the left still refuses to acknowledge reality.
Why? Because the more the country embraces Trump’s policies, the more obvious it becomes that Democrats have nothing to offer. Their economic policies fail. Their open-border experiments are disasters. Their foreign policy is weak. And worst of all, their voters are leaving them.
That’s the real reason they’re lashing out. Not because they think Trump is illegitimate—but because they know their own grip on power is slipping away.
And that? That’s why they’re losing their minds.
