Trump elected U.S. president in stunning comeback

Whatever anyone's personal opinions on Trump, to win in this situation is impressive. All the celebrity endorsements for Kamala, the mocking of the world, being convicted, to win in those circumstances is some feat.

More importantly he is right - he does have a huge mandate to implement the policies he articulated.

Shaping up to be the popular vote too.

Harris certainly got fired!

Yes, Yes, Yes,

Make American Great Again

Congratulations

He also spent several minutes praising Elon Musk, the richest man in the world, who pumped some $120 million into backing Trump's campaign. Trump has said he will appoint Musk to lead a government efficiency commission.

How this libertarian, Randian billionaire axis bought this election will be the main take away.

Musk's million dollar a day lotto to the desperate will be an exemplar of this.

JLE-Harris certainly got fired!

I'll say. She really did. And will be shown the door with a quickness.

This will go down as the greatest comeback in American politics.

We enter a new age. Hope is restored.

You can not doubt now. Donald Trump loves America.

After “Fox News” projects?

he won. It’s very clear,

despite CNN refusing to show 270 on their screen like doing that means it didn’t happen.

are Democrats denying the results of a safe and secure election? After refusing to concede?

why did the counting of all the Senate races stop?

WONDERFUL NEWS! I hope Democrats and Republicans can come together now and rebuild America.

Blesseder are the peacemakers

Matthew 5:9

Congratulations

A David v Goliath victory. Love him or hate him, you gotta hand it to Trump.

Whats is up with CNN?

You have to dig deep through misinformation articles just to get a "yeah it looks like he won" LOL

Repulicans here. Great day for us. Victory! 4 years in the making. Wonderful Joyous feeling!

Futures looking bright. Did you see the global markets? Everything is up. I mean up big!

The ramification on Democrats is going to be immense.

Despite relentless attacks against him in the MSM, the lawfare used by the Dems against their top political opponent, and two assassination attempts - The Donald's comeback is historic. Vox populi, vox dei,

Oh, . . what most of the world has dreaded will now be a reality!!!

He's back. .........Can't wait until 4 years passes by quickly!!

I am down with stiff drink tonight and just enjoying all of this. Congrats to our 47th POTUS and VPOTUS and all who won an office. Red baby red.

The democratic party will now begin a campaign of blame. They will blame everyone and anyone who didnt like their message. They should have run with a populist message like Bernie Sanders was from the beginning of Old Man Bidens campaign. The people are unhappy, we need to fix that, not this superficial campaign of "joy" and Trump bashing.

Unfortunately, if Trump does implement these insane economic tariffs the damage will be felt across the world, not just the. US.

There's one person who's going to be even happier than Trump today: Joe Biden! Boy, has he earned some serious gloating rights....

Anyway, congratulations, America!

Vox populi, vox dei,

Insania vulgi.

It is the madness of crowds that can be won over by wealth.

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/fox-news-projects-donald-trump-defeats-kamala-harris-become-47th-president-united-states

Trump also drew support from top business leaders like Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk and Cantor Fitzgerald CEO Howard Lutnick. Lutnick told Fox News Digital that many Wall Street leaders had privately committed their support to Trump.

Financiers voted in Trump with their wealth and those who believe Trump is for workers against an 'elite' are deluded.

[ Trump claims 'powerful mandate' after Fox News projects he has won US presidency ]

;

[ Republican Donald Trump claimed victory in the 2024 presidential contest after Fox News projected that he had defeated Democrat Kamala Harris, which would cap a stunning political comeback four years after he left the White House. ] —So much reluctance to declare what the world already knows: Donald Trump is the 47th President of the United States (and we are witnessing the greatest political comeback in American history). Congratulations, Mr. President.

Trump has been winning and winning for almost a DECADE.

I believe his only big defeat was in that election it took DAYS to count the ballots.

Isn't great we all got to know the outcome of this election within 24h?

I read a comment earlier. Got me thinking.

Do you really think Democrats regret taking Biden off the ticket?

The other.

How much of what Biden said and his behavior affected this election after being removed from the ticket from his own party?

Thoughts?

Democrats really did not bring the A game with Harris. I mean facts are facts.

She interviews poorly. She can not give solid answers. Had really no plan.

I think America saw this. Must have right?

This is a huge win. I wonder if Trump won the undecided vote?

This is a historic win, the Dems threw everything they could at this guy since 2016 and after all of the impeachments and social media bans, failed assassination attempts the Dems and swamp failed and also women didn’t break for Kamala the way they would have hoped, so many people were closet Trump voters, cursed him, but when their families backs were turned ended up voting for Trump.

so many people were closet Trump voters, cursed him, but when their families backs were turned ended up voting for Trump.

And believe me or not, one of Kamala's campaign ads actually asked women to secretly vote for her and LIE to their own husbands about their choice. Kamala's campaign was full of these brilliant ideas.

Also remember when she pretended to be talking with a supporter on the phone (all smiles) just to turn round her iPhone accidentally revealing it was actually on Camera mode? -- this was just a few hours ago.

A travesty of justice when a criminal is elected to President. For a man who hates democracy and a free press, who wants to rule for life and lock up or kill off future opponents like his mate Putin, to get into the white house reflects poorly on Americans that would vote for just such a tragedy.

The only winners in this is Russia and North Korea. So sorry for Ukraine who will be thrown to the sharks.

A leaderless world for the years ahead. Gutted by imbecilic Americans. Dems should have jailed him years ago for Jan 6th, so failure to do that is on them.

@bass4funk

Trump voters, cursed him, but when their families’ backs were turned ended up voting for Trump.

I admit it. This was me. I almost fell for the misinformation. I am not the biggest Trump supporter. I like Vance and I like him a lot. I am a bit ashamed. They almost got me. But I went down red down line and prayed it would all work out. And it did. @Bass4funk. What an effort you put forth and never wavered off your man Trump. Since I have visited here and commenting here. Thats should be recognized. I took to heart your commenting thought over many you wrote, and helped me to make the choicses I made. Thank you.

Looking forward to seeing more of Melania - love her cheekbones and cute accent. And good riddance to Lady Macbeth, aka DOCTOR Jill Biden.

Big win for Trump. Good Luck to him.

Seems won on the economy for many, swinging Latinos (catholics), god fearing folks, people squirmish about a woman leader they don't really know - all with a Big touch of Bro-ism to lubricate the fans.

Now it's on him to perform.

His latest pledge of a couple of hours ago was to "Make a promise, Keep a promise".

This will be interesting. Get those Tariffs hitting. Make 'em pay, Make it in America; etc.

4 years will tell.

once again we can tell left wing ideas never works in reality and they only live in their own fantasy. Bravo! and yes, finally American need not to share their lands with illegal immigrants anymore

A travesty of justice when a criminal is elected to President.

I think the people didn’t buy it.

For a man who hates democracy and a free press, who wants to rule for life and lock up or kill off future opponents like his mate Putin, to get into the white house reflects poorly on Americans that would vote for just such a tragedy.

If he hated Democracy he wouldn’t have ran for office, and Trump hates the lib one-sided msm, they were never fair to him, did whatever they could to take him down, even now msnbc have not called the race, are these people just dumb?

The only winners in this is Russia and North Korea. So sorry for Ukraine who will be thrown to the sharks.

I disagree because they all wanted Harris to win.

A leaderless world for the years ahead.

BS, we have a leader that will and should put America first and the world rightfully second

Gutted by imbecilic Americans. Dems should have jailed him years ago for Jan 6th, so failure to do that is on them.

And that comment of anger and hate is exactly the reason why they lost. Well, now they have 4 years to dwell on it. It could also be possible that Trump might get another Supreme Court pick.

well it seems that DT clearly won in these elections.

@Peter14

Stop it, you are grotesque. This is precisely the type of thinking you are having why the democrats lost that election. Instead of debating about policies and admitting that Biden mandate was catastrophic for the majority of the American population, that Harris was accountable for it and that choosing Harris just for being a woman instead of being competent is a monumental mistake, they kept insulting the people not thinking like them and their candidate, calling them fasciste and being Nazi. Pathetic!

@imbecilic Americans.

Wow! Are we supposed to feel bad? Guilt?

Do you hear that America? The sore losing left speaks.

It’s this kind of stuff that makes it personal for me and personal for those who voted for Trump.

You have lost Peter, Democrats and most in your party have been FIRED!

Deal with it.

once again we can tell left wing ideas never works in reality and they only live in their own fantasy.

The left installed unfit people to be in charge of the country, TWICE, without even think about the consequences.

Oh they fought so hard in 2016 to grab the presidency no matter what and what they delivered to America and the World? These people are extremely short sighted.

Never again. 4 years was enough. The democratic party is over.

@Fivefamilies

Wow, thank you. I appreciate the comment. I wasn’t excited about Trump when he announced he was running, the reason for me, not liking him was because I just thought he could not win against Hillary, so I was waffling in the beginning about supporting him, but I know the man is not perfect, but I’ve been following him for years, and the guy really loves America, so I thought they have to support him because he’s not a globalist and he’s putting America first before every other nation, I think that is something as Americans we need, we don’t need a globalist president and then the way he expanded the party by taking in liberals, Democrats, independence, thatwas brilliant, all I want is fairness for all Americans and I want more and better prosperity, and I don’t think you should go in jail all of your enemies, he didn’t do that when it was president the first time and he’s not gonna do it the second time, he’s not going to institute an abortion band, and he’s not going to sign into law project 2025 despite what little girls think, he’s not going to be a dictator, he’s not going to jail all of his enemies, he’s not going to get rid of NATO.

I think people just need to relax. It’s not the end of the world. We survive four years with them, and we can do four more years.

Americas biggest clown! (Can't use the word I want to use on here)

I think they are delusional enough to think if they just stop counting and don’t confirm anything that that people will just forget this landslide victory ever happened.

5 more Senate losses for Deme await the final counting:

never wavered, told all the leftists here exactly how it would go.

yes, they should have just kept Biden. I think part of the plan was to get Kamala out of the way of others with this obvious loss. And no one has ever cared about expendable Tim Walz.

Newsom and Shapiro and Whitmer accepted this swap out easily. Suspicious.

Muhh Fox news.

Well he already had Alaska in the bag. NYT published that his lead in Wisconsin is simply to big for Kamala to catch up. The only reason he declared victory was so he could go to bed.

Congratulations to the Republicans. It looks like it'll be an interesting next four years. Although I hope we won't have quite so many Trump articles here on JT going forward. Perhaps if they could limit themselves to every third time he opens his mouth, instead of an article every time?

And I don't generally make comments like this, but what's up with his daughter-in-law's face/eyes?

@bass4funk.

Yeah, no problem at all. When I read what you just wrote. Exactly how I felt too.

Everyone just needs to relax and chill.

What Dems were doing and how they were running things was not working. Our party just stepped in and pushed the breaks.

I feel hope. Optimism. I just want to live well and the cost of living to cost much less.

As I said on another thread, I respect the nation's decision through the democratic process, but I wonder how many of those people who voted for Trump understand how badly he threatens that process?

I'm particularly disappointed that so many women would vote for a convicted sex-attacker, who will take away their rights to their own bodies. That alone is stunning, before you even consider Trump's other criminal activities, and wholly self-serving behavior.

And as a resident of Japan and citizen of the world, four years of Trump abandoning allies and free nations to fawn over dictators is not something to look forward to.

Lord DartmouthToday 06:23 pm JST

There's one person who's going to be even happier than Trump today: Joe Biden!

You spelled "Vladimir Putin" wrong.

Congratulations to the Republicans. It looks like it'll be an interesting next four years. Although I hope we won't have quite so many Trump articles here on JT going forward. Perhaps if they could limit themselves to every third time he opens his mouth, instead of an article every time?

It will be quite the opposite!!!

Remember the first year or so Mr. Trump was away?

All the sudden the media didn't know how to report as the muscle memory kept pushing orange man bad for so many years.

Many outlets should be celebrating tonight.

They will have plenty to report on for the next 4 years.

Just wait until they realize the MAGA came back to stay forever.

Elon? Barron? It will be a complete meltdown for so many years to come!

choosing Harris just for being a woman

Plot twist: the 1st female President they wished so hard.... will come from the Trump family :)

Half of America prefer an ajudicated rapist and a convicted felon rather than someone who's not.

Role on January 2029.

Van Jones on CNN was weeping and gnashing his teeth because “women of colour” didn’t get “one of their own” elected. Identity politics - vote according to skin colour. I hope he and his stupid mindset gets thrown out with the rest of the bilge water the Democratic party is going to have to dump if it wants to survive.

No doubt, what I look forward to is when Trump fires Christopher Wray from the FBI, they went overboard, they’re out of control, and that agency needs to be gutted and cleaned out, no more Merrick Garland, no more of these political investigations and targeting political opponents. Finally, he will be able to institute voter ID now that he will have a super majority and then we can go back hopefully to normal ballots, we will be going back to fossil fuels again, something that I’m really looking forward to doing whatever he has to to get the economy off the ground.

I wonder how Melania feels about this win? I'm not sure she will be totally happy though she does obviously like the fame and fortune.

Speaking of Biden... Jill Biden went to vote all dressed in red…, heheh…, soon she and her husband will be wearing that “Trump won, get over it” t-shirt.

BREAKING NEWS

CNN and MSNBC both have declared a Trump victory.

Its all over but the crying now

The convicted felon is going back to the White House. Putin must be thrilled.

I, like many, was not a Trump fan at the beginning. I listened to the MSM. Then 2020 hit. Covid hit. George Floyd happened. I started to see through the BS that the MSM was feeding us. I started too reaize that the MSM was basically the propoganda machine of the Democratic party...who are not democratic. (Bernie comes to mind. Getting a presidential nominee without a primary....the list is long) You can look at most things he has said and find somewhere where the media has distorted or flat out lied about him. (good people on both sides, Cheney, project 2025, ...the list goes on as well) But when he was in office, he got things done. He wasn't my first choice for the republicans. But he was the only choice. Harris is a vapid, empty suit who will say anything (in a word salad kind of way) to appeal to anyone. I'm not American, but how Americ goes, so does the rest of the world. He may be a foul mouthed orange man, but he's the right man for the job right now. Congrats to America for seeing through the nonsense. Hopefully Canada will fire Trudeau next and get Pierre Poillivre in.

I wonder how much he paid Melania to stand beside him and pretend She likes him.

The convicted felon is going back to the White House. Putin must be thrilled.

No, he wanted Harris to win

No doubt, what I look forward to is when Trump fires Christopher Wray from the FBI, they went overboard, they’re out of control, and that agency needs to be gutted and cleaned out, no more Merrick Garland, no more of these political investigations and targeting political opponents. Finally, he will be able to institute voter ID now that he will have a super majority and then we can go back hopefully to normal ballots, we will be going back to fossil fuels again, something that I’m really looking forward to doing whatever he has to to get the economy off the ground.

A huge laundry list of disasters and flat out crimes to correct and punish.

He needs to take a flamethrower to the DOJ and higher ups at the FBI, mass deportations, voter ID laws, end the war in Ukraine, help Israel finish off terrorist scum once and for all, unleash the power of the US economy, and get men out of womens sport just to name a few.

And this time hes not only got the House and Senate, hes got the popular vote to go with the landslide victory.

Hes got a clear mandate from America; FIX THIS MESS.

and just look at the superstars he has surrounded himself with; Musk, JFK Jr, Ramaswamy, Tulsi, and lost but not least, #48, JD Vance.

NOW we're cooking with gas!

Cat Stevens, I had a very similar experience. I’m thankful that I woke up.

The Lord moves in mysterious ways, his wonders to perform...

Congratulations President Trump and Republicans. You saw through all the corrupt MSM and Democratic Party's lies and hysteria and made the correct choice. Now fix America and the world!

The convicted felon

ah yeah, cause that worked out soooooo well. Hahahaha

The real icing on the cake is, as vice-president, Harris will preside over a joint session of Congress in January to certify the results of the election.

Poetic justice for all the hoaxes and nasty stuff said.

Congratulations to Russia as Trump is about to make Russia great again. Commiserations to Americans who now have the ignominy of a criminal President, but its your own fault for electing him.

Hope you enjoy mixing with despots and becoming a cog in the axis of evil alongside Russia and North Korea. Stand by for your orders from the Kremlin.

Official. 47th Trump.

This tastes good. And so does the bubbly.

I knew the Dems were in trouble when celebrities began playing a major role in the campaign. People are not that stupid. They are not voting for Bruce Springsteen, Lady Gaga, Beyonce or Taylor Swift.

BS, we have a leader that will and should put America first and the world rightfully second

Still a leaderless world. The free world will do its best despite Trump in the white house, and will look elsewhere for leadership.

And that comment of anger and hate is exactly the reason why they lost.

Trumps entire message was hate and division. Its all about Trump for the coming years telling everyone what a wonderful job hes doing when its clear hes not. Just like the last time, when the world laughed at him, to his face when he tried to say exactly that.

Seriously, those who voted GOP seem to lack any sense of reality and lets hope their fantasy world keeps them happy, cause when Trump is out of office he will be remembered for the worst two terms ever! He already has the worst on record. Now he gets to have the worst two.

Speaking of Biden... Jill Biden went to vote all dressed in red…, heheh…, soon she and her husband will be wearing that “Trump won, get over it” t-shirt.

I bet Joe voted for Trump - he really hates Kamala. Not a single campaign appearance together.

Still a leaderless world. The free world will do its best despite Trump in the white house, and will look elsewhere for leadership.

and up is down, black is white!

when Trump is out of office he will be remembered for the worst two terms ever!

If the first Trump term was bad, Ill have 3 more, please!

Still a leaderless world.

Ok, and?

The free world will do its best despite Trump in the white house, and will look elsewhere for leadership.

Ok

Trumps entire message was hate and division.

No, it wasn't.

https://x.com/RealAlexJones/status/1854077641441292468

Where did he say something hateful?

Well, we don't care about that, he definitely doesn't care, promises made, promises kept. 

Seriously, those who voted GOP seem to lack any sense of reality and lets hope their fantasy world keeps them happy,

Quite the opposite, we don't want any more liberal progressive policies

cause when Trump is out of office he will be remembered for the worst two terms ever! He already has the worst on record. Now he gets to have the worst two.

Not according to the polls, the left could have made their case, but they decided to run a very flawed candidate.

If the first Trump term was bad, Ill have 3 more, please!

Exactly the type of idiotic idea that has made America stupid again. Dumb as.

So many - votes, but some here showing real class in loss.

All will be well. America spoke. Thats it.

I understand Dems feeling the loss.

Dana White said it best.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zwHTvONGrvk

This is what happens when machine comes after you.

The end.

Republicans at the wheel now.

The greatest come back in history.

Exactly the type of idiotic idea that has made America stupid again. Dumb as.

cry more.

Trump had record support from blacks, hispanics, Jews and even Muslims.

Your hope that he represents hatred and division is blown out of the water.

Trump represents victory and success for all Americans.

Americans were tired of being gaslit about our grocery and gas bills.

We were tired of being told that grown men can be women and women can be men.

We were tired of being called fascists because we have traditional values.

We decided to stand up to bullies today.

I hope to see some more balanced media reporting during the second Trump term. I almost stopped reading this article after two paragraphs but forced myself to continue.

A New Hope

The Empire Strikes Back

The Return of the Jedi

Quo Primum.

Americans were tired of being gaslit about our grocery and gas bills.

We were tired of being told that grown men can be women and women can be men.

We were tired of being called fascists because we have traditional values.

We decided to stand up to bullies today.

Yes. I will stand with you anyday!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Americans were tired of being gaslit about our grocery and gas bills.

But not tired of a liar in chief, got him back to lie for another 4 years.

We were tired of being told that grown men can be women and women can be men.

Tired of people deciding for themselves who they are.

We were tired of being called fascists because we have traditional values.

Called fascist for supporting fascists.

We decided to stand up to bullies today.

Today you laid down for the biggest bully, liar and thief in US political history. Future generations will forever be mystified as to why.

Exactly the type of idiotic idea that has made America stupid again. Dumb as.

Now with this vote, they can un-stupid themselves voting for Trump.

Very good result!

This will go down in history as the most amazing comeback in Politics. Most people in the media said he had no chance to win. He is such a hero to the American people. It was such an easy win in the end. I guess we can’t believe the people who say they wouldn’t vote for him. It looks like they just say that to be popular with movie stars, but vote for him.

I didn't want Harris to win to protect freedom of speech, but even if FoS hadn't been an issue she was the worst candidate they could have put up and didn't deserve to win.

Peter14.

Regroup. Go home. Come back 3 years 8 months later. More to left center.

The Democratic party must come more to center if it wants to be taken seriously now.

No ones ruining this thread party.

Whooooooooo!!!!!!

Thank you to our host JT!

It appears some here aren't taking the loss well. But you've got 4, 8, maybe 12 years to get over it. The tears will dry eventually. What's more, Putin and Xi are going to have to readjust to a more confident US now and pull back from any expansionist ideas and economic warfare. And Zelenskyy will have to put up or shut up. How many handouts does that guy think he can keep asking for with no performance improvement?

I for one hope Trump's victory could be a catalyst for the fall of the CCP in the medium term. They weren't intimidated by Biden in any shape or form, and it seems Blinken had had enough of trying to save face for the US - he wasn't going to stick around if Harris had won. But given all that Trump had to go through to clinch this win, he's not going to be an easy man for China to push around. That makes for a safer Japan as well.

Dems lost everything tonight. They lost the Presidency, the Senate, and the House most likely, they are losing more gubernatorial races, they lost the popular vote, they lost the Black and Latino vote, the women vote, they lost independents and they lost to a man they hated with such passion and tried to take him out for years and he turns around and just used their tactics against them and it worked out in the end. Full circle and complete Schadenfreude.

Now with this vote, they can un-stupid themselves voting for Trump.

Too late. Americans have shown the world their hand and they have proven to have "dumbed up again" Voting in Trump.

Short memories on Americans who fired Trump four years ago in the biggest election ever, by the most votes ever, because he was inept and corrupt. Impeached twice and only getting off by ordering the GOP to get him off, regardless of the facts and the fact is he was guilty as hell. For the attempted coup on 6th Jan where he did nothing as the capitol was raided by people he directed to interrupt the handover of power when the opposition clearly won by a landslide.

Yeah Americans voted him in, with so far a majority vote, meaning more stupid Americans than smart ones. Unfortunately just as the average American will pay for this dumbness, so will much of the planet.

Regroup. Go home. Come back 3 years 8 months later. More to left center.

Already home and no need to regroup. I call it as it is, as I see it. Trump was a disaster and will be again. Seems nothing can stop that now. Just remember you asked for all of it, no matter how bad he gets. Geriatric losing his mind, self aggrandizing fool you wanted, you got it.

Oh man….so excited for Trump that I didn’t realize this also means Blinken and Mayorkis and Wray and Austin are toast.

Rahm Emanuel is nowhere near the Cabinet. And the Clinton and Obama “dynasties” destroyed.

Keeps getting better and better.

Democrats are like parents who let their kids do anything, then "suprised" when the kid grow into a mess.

That makes for a safer Japan as well

I expect fewer missile launches from Kim, or none at all. He's scared of Trump.

Landslide! The Democrat on TV just said “we really didn’t expect a blowout”

Make American Great Again

America cannot be great if its democracy is undermined. As China demonstrates, money and power alone do not make a nation truly great.
