Donald Trump won less than half of the popular vote—which, given the turnout, amounts to less than one-third of registered voters. His margin of victory was the tightest since 2000, the fourth tightest since 1940.
So no, despite everything Trump claims, he does not have a "mandate" for any of this.

Donald Trump does not have a "mandate" for any of this
He's hardly the first president to claim he represents the people's will—or God's. But he might be the most brazen.

4 years ago today, then President Donald Trump incited an armed attack on the Capitol of the United States, while also reportedly suggesting to aides that his own VP deserved to be executed by a mob of his supporters at the Capitol. Those who minimize what he did, or whitewash it, are lying to you.

At the time, everyone, including Republicans, understood how bad it was. Then, brick by brick, they built a foundation of lies to justify doing what they know, deep down, to be wrong. Trump betrayed the country. And so do they.

But it will absolutely become the biggest protection racket the world has ever seen.

I would urge everyone to be very careful with the “Starlink stole the election” posts.
There will be security audits — and if anything was fucky, we’ll find out about it — but so far, CISA has said they’ve seen no evidence of foul play.
Don’t act like the GOP. Wait for proof.
