Summary
Donald Trump continues to falsely claim he won the “biggest mandate in 129 years,” despite evidence disproving his assertion.
In fact, Trump secured 316 Electoral College votes and won the popular vote by 1.47%, one of the smallest margins of victory in the popular vote since the 19th century.
Analyses show his victory was neither a landslide nor unprecedented, but Trump’s team inflates the narrative to project greater legitimacy and influence.
Experts note this tactic—repeating exaggerated claims—aims to obscure inconvenient truths and bolster his image.
This article was written to “slam” Trump for another lie and get clicks.
He did win the popular vote and the electoral college, just not by as much as he is saying.
He also said he won the popular vote for the two elections he has lost.
I agree with your sentiment.
