What a wild couple of days this has been!
Donald Trump pulled off something incredible Tuesday night – he pretty much ran the table to become the 1st President since the late 1800’s to win non-consecutive terms.
Wall Street didn’t hide its enthusiasm.
The S&P 500 jumped 2.53% for its best post-election day in history yesterday.
At BMR, well, we got attacked by suspected Trump haters mid-day Tuesday and the site was knocked off line for about 3 hours. GoDaddy technicians did a great job getting us back in business but our comments section is still disabled (and subscribers are having login issues) – technicians continue to work on fixing this. Our apologies – we’re not the 1st Vancouver business to be targeted for its conservative views. That has been the way of the left these last 4 years, in the United States and Canada, and that’s in part why Trump won big Tuesday.
Indeed, he ran the table. Jon’s piece July 14 was incredible, prophetic:
What’s Next After Trump Survives Assassination Attempt
Thankfully an overwhelming win yesterday prevented the Dems from delaying results and trying any funny business (like they did in 2020).
Any nefarious efforts are now being directed toward the House of Representatives.
For the MAGA movement to really flex its muscle it needs a majority in both the House and Senate. Looks like it’ll play out that way, but final official numbers from the House could still be a few weeks away. Republicans have secured a solid Senate majority.
Obviously, given their blind hatred, the crooked lame-stream media was shocked to see his landslide win! They have been crying buckets of tears.
There was maybe a moment or two when things looked like they might be close but really never were. Americans of all shapes, sizes, color, gender, religion, and persuasion (Democrats included) voted Trump. Winning the popular/majority vote was a cherry on top. The lame-stream media has been totally and completely discredited. Don’t think they could dig themselves any deeper, but they’ll try.
Their ratings might actually improve if they had a collective intervention to talk about how they couldn’t see what the majority of Americans were/are seeing.
TDS (Trump Derangement Syndrome) is real, though, and tough to shake.
Case in point – first thing yesterday morning, New York Attorney General Letitia James took to the stage campaigning against President Trump and Republicans. She promised she’d get him and she’s a “guardian of the law” who’s ready to fight back (sounded threatening). Many believe James should be disbarred and fired given her clear bias. The hatred in her heart was on full display – it was a disgusting, shameful performance from a public official who swore an oath to uphold the law.
Letitia probably doesn’t realize people like her are 1 of the reasons we voted Trump!
Re: The Numbers
I was shocked to see totals were lower! But makes you wonder again about those massive numbers in 2020.
I was not the only one as this was a hot topic on social media yesterday.
That 2020 result for Democrats (Biden) is such an outlier.
Many saying the staggering anomaly from norms is “proof” the last election was rigged.
An argument to explain that away says the huge increase was caused by or a result of mail-in ballots.
But if so, why was the huge decrease this election so 1-sided?
The celebration is over and the hard work for the Trump transition has already started.
It’ll be super interesting to see how Trump manages things and his adversaries this time around. He’s obviously learned a lot and experienced a lot since his 1st term. This time he’s got a “dream team” behind him, including JFK Jr., Elon Musk, and J.D. Vance (maybe Ron Paul too, and many more).
Things won’t be all sunshine and rainbows under Trump the next 4 years. Hell, last time we had the China Virus dropped on us. Stock and housing markets are at all-time highs, perhaps due or past due for a correction/crash.
Don’t be surprised if that happens on Trump’s watch, but he’ll fix it.
Of course, there’s always a bull market somewhere and we will keep you posted on what’s working and why.
Should be a great finish into year-end and Inauguration Day.
