It’s a historical, unpresidented mandate.
It was the most historical mandate for a presidential campaign this year!
It’s un-presidented.
Nope. This is a lie. Donald Trump himself said he won in a yuuuuuuuge electoral college landslide. Besides, this is from the NYT, and every Trumpkin knows the NYT prints only fake news.
