Trump's Womandate: The Real Story Behind Trump's Claims
Trump barely beat Harris. Lost the Popular vote count to both Hillary and Joe


What Is a Mandate Anyway?
Recently, former President Donald Trump has made headlines claiming he has a mandate after the election. But let’s take a closer look at that term. A mandate typically implies that the electorate strongly supports a candidate's policies and vision. However, in Trump’s case, one might contend that he actually has a ‘womandate.' After all, he lost the popular vote to both Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden by millions. So, what does this really mean for his political standing?
The Numbers Don't Lie
In the 2016 election, Trump lost to Hillary Clinton by nearly 3 million votes. Fast forward to 2020, and he lost again—this time to Joe Biden by around 7 million votes. Only in 2016 did he narrowly win the electoral college, aided by some key swing states. But if we think about it, would he have performed similarly against another male candidate like Biden? Given these numbers, it’s hard to argue that he has a solid mandate when more women voters showed up at the polls to express their disapproval.
Women and Trump's Playground of Insults
Trump is notorious for his treatment of women, often resorting to childish name-calling. Perhaps you’ve heard of his less-than-flattering nicknames for women like “Bird Brain” Haley and “Horse Face” Stormy Daniels.
Apparently Trump likes to pay PORN STARS to play hide the salami that look like horses. In Trump's case it is more like hide the mini hot dog according to Stormy that claims Trump's unit is TINY.
Such comments seem to reveal a pattern in his behavior that many voters—especially women—find off-putting. One must ask: how can someone who disrespects women on such a public stage claim any sort of significant political backing from them? If we were all to tally it up, it’s safe to say that his criticisms don’t help his case. Instead of garnering favor, they're likely pushing women further away.
Trump Wins Against Women Not Men
Trump’s ‘womandate’ humorously underscores the reality of his situation. If we look at the data and consider the sentiments expressed by women in the electorate, it becomes evident that claiming a strong mandate—let alone a ‘womandate’—is a stretch. Furthermore, it’s fascinating to speculate how Trump would have fared in a head-to-head matchup against a man who could challenge him just like Biden did. Undoubtedly, history might have told a different story.
As we make our way further into the political landscape, understanding these dynamics becomes ever more important. With Trump's unabashed attitude towards women and the evident electoral patterns, it’s clear that the term ‘womandate’ might just as well be his true reality. Rather than a bolstering claim of political strength, it serves as a reminder that the electorate has a voice—and they’re using it louder than ever against men who disrespect them.
