šŸ›ļø Donald Trump's revenge

Hey everyone, Shannon here and I’ve got all the need-to-know election updates.

Donald Trump is going to be president again.

It’s a historic comeback, done only once before by Grover Cleveland in 1892. Trump, who will be the oldest US president, has single-handedly stopped a woman from getting into the Oval Office TWICE now...

The general wisdom before Election Day was that his political career was over, but Trump staged a roaring comeback nobody saw coming. And, this time, it wasn’t even close… He lost the 2016 popular vote to Hillary Clinton by nearly 3 million votes, but he’s eviscerated Harris across demographics—Latino and Black men and even suburban white women. Ironically, the group that the oldest president-elect seemed to lose ground with were older voters.

What’s even crazier is that a LOT of people heading for the polls didn’t even know Biden had dropped out. That tells you all you need to know about our information ecosystem right now. Experts are still speculating about what Donald Trump’s revenge will look like, but you know who’s super happy? The markets. US stocks, Elon Musk’s Tesla, banks, and Bitcoin are all soaring.

The pro-abortion coalition everyone was expecting didn’t do enough, and the economy seemed the top issue on voters’ minds.

šŸ—³ļø Some more election headlines to look at:

  1. America wants Trump—no ifs or buts

  2. Republicans take Senate majority and eye unified power with Trump

  3. Californians are planning to flee the country

  4. The world reacts to a second Trump term

  5. Trump proved the Simpsons wrong

  6. The ā€˜manosphere’ has won

What will Trump 2.0 be like? He’s revealed who his first call as president will be. And you can basically bid goodbye to Trump’s legal cases. With regard to his policies, we’ve been doing deep dives so you can get some insight into his positions on immigration, climate change, the economy, healthcare, abortion rights, gun reform, crime, education, and LGBTQ+ rights.

We’ll be back next week with more on how MAGA will reshape life in America. For now, let’s wrap things up with something light.

Because the trends stop for no one.

What’s in: Your ā€˜winter arc’ + the Orient Express + throning (because dating is just about clout now) + sleep ā€˜chronotypes’ (are you a wolf or a dolphin?)

What’s out: Adulting (at least in fashion) + humans designing cars (because dogs are taking over) + painful high heels
