The big lie Donald Trump told after the 2024 election was that he'd won a "powerful mandate" from the American people. He hadn't, and neither had his MAGA movement.
Around 50.2 percent were cast for someone other than Trump. That's a small anti-Trump majority, but it's enough to vex the incoming president.
Republicans are desperate to claim they secured a 'landslide' when the results reveal that this was one of the closest presidential elections of the post-World War II era.
Politics is about perceptions, and a president who is perceived as enjoying the overwhelming support of the voters is far better positioned to change not just the policies but the trajectory of our politics.
