This week, Donald Trump won Time Magazine’s vaunted “person of the year” for the second time in the last decade. The results weren’t even close. If this were a Hall of Fame vote for a famous athlete, the President-elect would have been unanimous. After having been unceremoniously ousted from the White House in the first presidential coup in history, the 47th President mounted the most improbable comeback, in which he overcame a mountain of opposition – from relentless media bias, to all-out lawfare in the courts, to two failed assassination attempts on his life.
Having succeeded against all odds, the President endeared himself to the American people through the trials and tribulations of the last four years. He has revolutionized our political psyche, and altered not just our political discourse, but our culture in general – rekindling a sense of optimism in a long dormant American spirit. At the ballot box, the American people offered him a landslide victory for his sacrifices – he carried both houses of Congress and was the first Republican to win the popular vote outright in twenty years.
His electoral college victory was seismic; he is the first Republican in nearly four decades to eclipse three hundred and ten electoral votes. By county, he almost septupled his opposition – making the whole map blood-red, which offered undeniable testimony of MAGA’s generational impact, one that has forever altered the course of American politics – and will outlast its progenitor long after he departs the political arena for good.
To think that the country was an inch away from losing everything just six months ago, as a bullet grazed Donald Trump’s ear that fateful day in Butler, Pennsylvania, especially given the hindsight of his presidential victory, is mind boggling. Had the now famous chart not been up at the right moment or had there been a wrong turn of the head, America’s final light of hope would have been darkened forever. There was so much riding on this year’s election – from the integrity of the justice system to the sovereignty of our borders, to the state of the economy and the prospects of the American Dream.
