Well, he has a cool story to tell the other kids at school tomorrow.

"Landslide" cracks me up. Trump won by 1.61 percentage points against a lackluster Harris. It was one of the closest popular vote outcomes since the 1960s. Quite the landslide.
"Nobody cared about Jeffrey Epstein when he was alive and, if the Democrats had anything, they would have released it before our Landslide Election Victory," the president wrote in a social media post. https://t.co/5a8RoBg5Pi

@CburgesCliff @Science_George @GregTrayling You always manage to lump us all into the one and only generation 😁. I think I fall right between you and George, and Greg shouldn't be far away from George.
