We are in the midst of the greatest political comeback in American history — which follows, by eight years, the greatest political stunt in American history.
That stunt was Donald Trump’s first win, in 2016. The comeback is his extraordinary performance over the past four years following his defeat in 2020.
I am not here going to adjudicate Trump’s sins or errors, though I am so mindful of them that I did not vote for him and wrote in someone else.
No, I am here to represent hundreds of millions of slack-jawed people around the world, gaping in wonderment at the fact that Trump got to this place on Election Night 2024.
Think of it. This is a man who was impeached (for a second time) two weeks before leaving office in 2021. In the years that followed that second impeachment, he was pursued by a state attorney general, two local prosecutors and a federal special prosecutor.
He was indicted 91 times in three different criminal courts and found liable in two civil courts. He has been convicted (ludicrously, in my view) of 34 (ludicrous, again) felonies.
He has had his home raided by federal agents. He has seen his eponymous business effectively shut down by a Manhattan judge.
He has been the subject of relentless and limitless hostile press coverage that dwarfs any negative characterizations of any other human being of our time.
And yet here he is, on the cusp of becoming president of the United States for a second go-round.
His utter refusal to be bent or broken by his enemies and his critics and his determination to redeem himself by recapturing the office he lost has no parallel that I can think of — not in American history, anyway.
And he did it fair and square.

the slimes is saying he claimed vicxtory without winning yet.
They’re a joke :)
Trump stepped into the breach and saved the day with frank talk that the American people understood!
“And he did it fair and square.”

Amazing.
Very early before dawn on November 6th, about 2:30 EST, I was watching his last speech of the campaign, given in Grand Rapids. That man had worked harder than a rented mule. He gave it all.
Tonight he and we will sleep, and we will “sleep the sleep of the saved and thankful”. God bless you President Trump.
BTTT
Trump’s victory is, to me, a sign that God continues to bless our great country! I feel like an Englishman after the battle of Agincourt:
KING HENRY V
O God, thy arm was here;
And KING HENRY V to us, but to thy arm alone,
Ascribe we all! When, without stratagem,
But in plain shock and even play of battle,
Was ever known so great and little loss
On one part and on the other? Take it, God,
For it is none but thine!
EXETER
‘Tis wonderful!
KING HENRY V
Come, go we in procession to the village.
And be it death proclaimed through our host
To boast of this or take the praise from God
Which is his only.
FLUELLEN
Is it not lawful, an please your majesty, to tell
how many is killed?
KING HENRY V
Yes, captain; but with this acknowledgement,
That God fought for us.
FLUELLEN
Yes, my conscience, he did us great good.
KING HENRY V
Do we all holy rites;
Let there be sung ‘Non nobis’ and ‘Te Deum;’
The NY Post map is stalled at 267, even though in the remaining five states that are only pink, it’s practically impossible that there be a reversal, and he might yet snag another electoral vote from Maine, which has bifurcated electorate regions. He won, weasel press, both the popular national vote and the electoral college, and he won handily. I am disappointed that he didn’t flip New York, where I was born and raised. But maybe in ‘28 JDV will accomplish what DJT didn’t quite do.
My FRiend, I live in NYC.
I knew Trump wouldn’t win but to lose by only 10? And lose NJ by only 4?
And after the miraculous comeback that Trump made.
I don’t rule out anything anymore :)
I think Alaska usually tosses in all 3. Dont think they’ve been counted yet.
I had my doubts about JDV...but I had my doubts about lots of things the whole way.
I am Very Happy to be wrong across the board!!
And I think JD will do great things going forward also.
Trump!
This writer is a flaming A-Hole who has made a career out of serving as a propagandist for the globalist GOP establishment. I hope he sees this piece as his fond farewell and he disappears.
He’s as authentic as Trump, and speaks much better. He’s been in both worlds, grown up dirt poor on the wrong side of the tracks, and gone to Yale Law School. After four years in the WH, in the shadow of a living legend, he’ll be unstoppable in 2028.
Re blaming Kamala’s loss on the “Van Buren Curse,” that didn’t stop Harry Truman or LBJ, or even Joe Biden. It’s a load of crap. She lost because she is a horrible person and a worse campaigner.
And let’s not forget Richard Nixon! All former VPs.
I’m so damned happy I could give a bearhug to a porcupine.
They should have straight jackets with the NY Times logo on them.
If he can make NY prosper in spite of Hochul, NY may be flippable.
Exactly! I keep seeing these "political comeback" statements which aren't true. He didn't pull a "come-back." He never left. And this IS his third win, with two landslides in a row.
Trump defeated democrats = socialism. America and the world is saved from evil and 1000 years of barbarism and darkness as Mises proved . Mises proved socialism would destroy civilization . only the free market can set objective prices including for production machines. we averted the orcs invasion on steroids :
Now deport all illegals including all the criminals gangs etc
Elon and President Trump will reduce government agencies and hopefully get rid of the IRS . there was no income tax no gov agencies before 1913, certainly not the “deep state” which are really just democrat / marxist cult members 14 million gov workers doing nothing but election fraud faucie, comey, mayorkas, cia directors , fbi directors etc all evil marxist criminals proves gov agencies are unacountable and weaponized against American citizens
Make America Great Again
