He barely got by and, again, couldn't even get a majority of the votes; Trump was running on vapors and is now using up whatever vapors he had left...
But, hey, what I really want is one of you Trumpettes out there to prove me wrong, with numbers to back you up, that anything I have posted about the obvious lackings of Trump is false; and, remember, I am asking for verifiable facts, not opeds or YT MAGA rubbish...

Kamala Harris won Washington, Oregon, California, Illinois, Colorado, New Mexico, Minnesota, Virginia, Delaware, New Jersey, Hawaii and all the New England States. Donald Trump won all the rest including the 7 battleground States like Ohio and Pennsylvania where Harris Campaigned extensively.
Donald Trump won 312 Electoral College Votes To 226 for Kamala Harris. 270 Electoral Votes were needed to win. That sounds pretty decisive to me. In fact, it sounds like a rout. Harris won 74,749,891 votes (48.3%) of the Popular vote to 77,168,458 votes (49.9%) For Donald Trump.

Stop crying about it and get over it, Vienna. Mama Kamala was soundly beaten and that's it. Numbers don't lie.
This map looks pretty convincing too, by precincts. The red areas are for Trump.
