I have come to think that the election was never about policy and all about perception. You can criticize her campaign; they did lose, but I don't think it was the US economy, which is doing well, especially when compared to other post-COVID economies, but more a failure of the Democrats to connect the dots for people.

Voters might tolerate higher food prices if they understood that the cost of eggs is meaningless when we no longer live in a democracy. At a minimum, the campaign could have focused more on his multiple and grave failures in office and less on how horrible he made us feel.

Please note, Mr. Aleem, that inflation started under Trump's Presidency and that he did little to nothing to counteract the greed promoted by manufacturers. In fact, he exacerbated it.

You also failed to mention in your article that Trump was bought and paid for by Elon Musk and his cohorts. Musk was blatant in buying votes (something that is illegal in this country) in the guise of whatever it was in the guise of. However, intent plays a big part in a court of law and that is something that is hard to prove.

It appears that the male journalists have come our full force over the fact hat Kamala Harris failed to be a male in her campaign. How in the hell am I going to be able to ignore there is inflation when I'm having a hard time putting nutritious food on my table? The only thing you really got right was "post-pandemic inflation is lethal to incumbents."

For your edification, Jack Smith has put a big kink in Trump's trying to use the the Office of the President and the Scotus ruling to get out of being held responsible for his actions during Jan, 5, 2021. His case was dismissed without prejudice, which means that Trump can be brought up once again on the same charges when he is out of office. Statue of limitations don't change that,
