Trump was never ahead - in his entire term, he was a loser

Unsaid but significant - during this election cycle, Trump was never ahead of Biden after March. He never broke 50%, was underwater in ratings throughout his presidency, was never ahead or even tied with Biden for electoral votes or popular totals. Yes, he was (and still is) ahead in individual states), but never to a point where he could claim that he was winning. He did, of course, election night, but I cannot remember a politician in the last forty years who was so arrogant and clueless as to claim he was the winner when he was losing badly.

It just doesn't happen. Politicians say that they're going to win, of course, but I don't think any presidential candidate ever has falsely claimed victory when it simply wasn't true.

but he also united the majority of Americans to make it their duty to eject him. Very proud of the huge turnout it took to get rid of this disaster. It took nothing less than a spectacular, united mobilization of the American people to do it. Every one of us has the right to be proud of this accomplishment
