But you're right, it was nothing like that. Trump was just ...exaggerating.

Because California hasn't finished counting yet some are speculating Joe's lead could be as much as 7 million votes. Landslide?
OK, let’s make it simpler, you don’t wait 4 days to confirm who wins when it is a landslide. A number of states behind decided by less than 2 percent, go the other way and Trump would have won. No matter how much you want to say landslide, this was a cliffhanger due to how the votes result in electoral votes being counted. Trump did not win by a landslide in 2016 either. But he did win more comfortably than Biden has regardless of the popular vote result. You have to understand the popular vote is irrelevant in their presidential system.

And just so you know, I wanted Trump out, so it is not a red or blue thing, just a balance view with no TDS.
