He’s old as fuck, definitely lost a step, and didn’t know when to throw in the towel, but I believe he’s always sought what is best for his constituents. He’s someone who truly believes in public service

Let’s not blame Biden. Over half the country still voted for this. Nobody made them do that.

Trump got less than half of votes cast. Far from half of the total population of the country. Blame the electoral college system.

That’s literally not true. Trump won both the electoral college and the popular vote https://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/statistics/elections/2024

Edit: Apologies I read your comment incorrectly, he did not get half the votes, but he won the popular vote unlike his win vs Clinton
