...as the term is *always* taken to mean in politics.

"Sir, the truth is, that the reelection of the president proves as little an
approbation by the people of all the opinions he may hold … as it would prove
that if the president had a carbuncle … they meant, by reelecting him, to
approve of his carbuncle."

Henry Clay to Andrew Jackson when Jackson claimed to hold a "mandate" following
reelection in 1832.

Trump has a technical legal mandate to run the executive branch. Trump does
*not* have a political mandate. *Always*, in politics, an election winner is
said to have a mandate when he won an *overwhelming* popular vote victory. That
is what the word means — *always*. Trump did not win a big popular vote victory.
In fact, the insurrectionist didn't even win a majority.

Trump does not have a (political) mandate. This is settled.

You're too fucking stupid-- and short-- to know what the word means.

MANDATE: the authority to carry out a policy or course of action,
regarded as given by the electorate to a candidate or party that is
victorious in an election.

It's obviously NOT settled, dwarf. Enjoy the next four years of
Trump's mandate.

I know what the word means, KKKlaun Cuntflaps. A legal mandate is not the same
thing as a political mandate, KKKlaun Cuntflaps.

It's settled, KKKlaun Cunt Flaps. Trump does not have a political mandate. He
has a narrow legal mandate. They're not the same thing.

Because he's insecure.

It's settled, Mr. Schadenfreud
No, it's obviously not. Only dwarfish cunts like you claim it is
because you don't know what the word "mandate" means, after *after* I
schooled you.

Again.

[chuckle]

When are you going to grow the balls to address me directly, Rudy? I
mean, how afraid of me *are* you?

ROFLMAO!!!!
