AND just like that The Don is back.
In the end it wasn’t even close, despite billions of dollars of duff polling and a slew of woke celebrities predicting victory for Kamala Harris.

The only groups of voters that the Democrats managed to make gains with were over-65s and white college-educated women.
Instead, Trump was able to win over what he called “the biggest, the broadest, the most unified coalition” in American history.
And the data backs him up.
Economy, inflation and immigration
He won big with white non-college-educated men and women, and crucially made massive gains with the under 30s of both sexes.
Some 42 per cent of Generation Z voters split for Trump in a hammer blow to the Left.
It turns out some of the kids are all Right.
Despite the Democrats betting the house on winning over women on the crucial issue of abortion, Trump even made ground there.
In the end, 45 per cent of women still voted for him.

Married women split for Trump, with major gains for the Republicans with Latinos and Asian Americans in a blow to the traditional Democrat voting block.
It turns out the economy, inflation and immigration were always going to win over cultural issues at the ballot box — as some of us warned last week — and endorsements for Harris from big stars such as Oprah Winfrey

Bypassing mainstream media
The pollsters did not do enough to reach these unreliable voters ahead of election day in a way the Trump campaign did.
By bypassing the traditional mainstream media and instead focusing on popular sub-cultures such as wrestling and other sports, he was able to speak directly to the very voters he needed to win back after his defeat in 2020.
Trump must represent his new ‘realignment’ in office rather than just on the campaign trail . . . or see it fall apart as quickly as it turned out.
And like the Brexit vote, Trump was able to tie together his messaging on the economy and soaring migration to hit the two most important issues voters list as top of their concerns.
But like our 2016 revolution, our 2019 election and the Tories subsequent routing — a lesson from Britain would be winning that coalition over is not enough.
