This is unbelievable! I won by a decisive margin in the election, against the entire Democratic Party and nearly 100 percent of negative news coverage. In 86 percent of the counties in the United States, I won with a result of 2,750 to 525; I won the Electoral College 312 to 226; after several decades, I became the first Republican to win the popular vote as well; and I won all seven key states decisively. For the first time in history, all 50 states moved toward the Republican Party. I didn’t compete against one candidate, but against two candidates—“Sleepy Joe” and Kamala; something that had never happened before. All of this happened while almost all the media were against me and ready to do anything to make me lose—especially Maggie Haberman, one of the most unpopular people in the news industry, her mediocre assistant Jonathan Swan, and the failed New York Times itself, which spends all its energy publishing negative pieces about me. I’m the one who wins—often against all predictions.

But after that big election success, no one said: “He won, did a great job!” No one said: “Maybe we were wrong about him, the people were right,” or even “Congratulations, we wish you the very best for your success for our country!” No; instead, after winning for the third time in the election, the same people started all over again: the failed New York Times, the Wall Street Journal that has lost its way, MSDNC (which changed its name to MSNOW because nobody was watching it!), the ignorant C-SPAN with a few of the worst anonymous presenters in the history, and all three fake networks ABC, CBS, and NBC. The number of readers, viewers, and audiences of all of them is declining sharply because people have realized—just as I said from the beginning—that they are “fake news.” They no longer have any credibility; otherwise it would have been impossible for me to win despite all this negative news, and with such a historic, decisive victory.

Just think about it—these were my rivals! If elections were held again today, I would win by an even bigger margin—in fact, by a much bigger one! The Democrats don’t have what it takes, their policies are wrong, and overall they are a bunch of ignorant people. They are moving toward communism because they are like a ship that is sinking badly and there is nothing they can do. Instead of writing incorrect and untrue articles about me for more than 10 years, hasn’t it become time for them to say: “We surrender; we can’t beat him and apparently nothing we do works”? Hasn’t it become time for them to say: “Trump is the best political athlete of all time! Congratulations, Mr. President. You’ve beaten us for 10 years and we won’t waste any more time fighting you. We can’t win—run our country in the best way, sir. Make America Great Again!”

Donald J. Trump
