One thing I forgot until I scrolled back up. "The Mandate", because that's what that script would have been titled. The mandate was crucial in the aspect because what they were really intended to do verse's what they told people they were going to do....and justify it by saying Trump won by a mandate of the American voters, that over a majority of American voters wanted what they were about to do. He really didn't win by a mandate of over 50% but it was a short window of opportunity before all votes came in that they had to sell it. They pushed hard on it. Even weeks later people were still arguing online that over a majority of Americans voted for this mandate of the Trump agenda, that's how hard they pushed it, people couldn't let go of it. It's mandate, a mandate, a mandate, a mandate. That's all you saw despite the final tally showing he didn't have over fifty percent of the vote. It's no longer a mandate if Kamala still had less than fifty percent but the other parties brought the total over 50% combined with Kamala brought Trump below the 50% margin, that still meant that more than fifty percent of Americans didn't want Trump, therefore no mandate. People didn't stop using it all together when they were confronted with "how many voters do you think would have voted for Trump if they knew they were going to lose their government job?" But the mandate script got enough time in for the DOGE bull crap and allowing Elon to continue calling it a mandate, the American people wanted this, but they didn't, but it allowed them to get their foot into the doors of a lot of agencies within the government before people started waking up. As a matter of fact, you can go through some of the Apprentice scripts shown on TV, and there are some that are quite eerily similar to some of the stuff we've seen play out over the last few years. We aren't watching a presidency, we are watching the Apprentice.
