Dow Jones is up nearly 2000 points.Probably in anticipation for an end to those stupid economy killing tariffs which have ground down the US manufacturing since late 2018.

Bother to elaborate? I thought Trump had lowered tarriffs

No.  Trump created tariffs where none existed in the first place.  The biggest being on steel and aluminum.

The stock market being up right now should be a good indicator that it wasn't anything trump did that made it go up. If anything that was ironically and unfortunately due to covid...which caused the initial crash and low stock prices. When its low more people will jump in. If it has momentum people keep buying more.

And then I thought the whole point of being a Republican was to lowering taxes, defending free market yada yada...

I doubt that many of his voters know how tariffs work. Or taxes for that matter.

Ok, let's play a fun game. What will be the closest thing to "I lost" out of Trump's mouth? We all know he is physically incapable to say those words, so what will he say instead?

Probably something like "I'm far too busy for this right now. I'll let the democrats steal this election but I'll be back in 4 years once I've caught up on my work and easily win it so much they can't even steal it".

This seems like a winner. He will also add that he has "something cooking" and he will prepare his legal team, "the best of the best", to make sure Democrats will go to jail for this election and make sure they cannot steal another one ever again.

Congratulations to the United States, you tried someone/something different with Trump which resulted in a collapsing economy, insane levels of debt and hundreds of thousands dead and endless amounts of drama, blame shifting, narcissism, bigotry, division and hate.

And you used your democratic rights to boot him out and elect someone different and competent.
Hopefully Biden can mend some of the bridge Trump ruined with us by being disrespectful to our previous prime minister.

From a personal perspective, because Trump wasn't my president, I did enjoy his antics as a joke/free entertainment, so hopefully that class-act continues on in some capacity but doesn't impede progress in the USA.

He will absolutely talk about the election being stolen and full of fraudulent votes.  Which means that for a large chunk of the population, they will never accept Biden as a valid president.  Because to them, trump never lies...

At best it might be something like "we should have won".  Although even that seems unlikely since he already blatantly said he won the election after losing it.

Looks like the war is on. Trump going full balls ahead with litigations. He also tweeted a Fox News clip of an "interview" Kevin McCarthy. He says the GOP will take the house if enough people vote against Pelosi. Also more boasting about how many people voted and how people have "rejected socialism".
