Donald Trump has declared victory in the 2024 U.S. presidential election after the Associated Press and other major news outlets called the presidential race favorable to him.

He is dealing with a group of people whose chief distinguishing characteristic is their utter inability to weigh ideas, The inability to even comprehend anything but the most basic of ideas… The Presidency tends to be filled by people like this year after year, and as the system of democracy improves, the office becomes more and more representative of the inner soul of the people.

The quote continues, “Some great and glorious day, the common people of this land will finally realize their heart’s desires, and the White House will be decorated by a complete idiot.”
