Well, he did it. In one of history’s great political comebacks, redemption arcs and hero’s journeys, Donald Trump has risen like the phoenix to reclaim The White House.

Beyond the sheer triumph of the human spirit, Trump’s victory represents a stunning repudiation of legacy media and the permanent Washington establishment. Both these elite communities sought to make support for Trump not just unpopular, but unthinkable.

But in the end, the common sense of the American people prevailed. They saw through the hysterical rantings of a self-important, self-anointed elite. And they realized that the elite’s hatred of Donald Trump wasn’t because he was a dictator, or a criminal, or Hitler. It was because he threatens the cozy status quo that benefits the elite—but not much of anyone else.

And then Americans went to the polls, and they handed Donald Trump a clear cut and indisputable mandate.

And how sweet it was!
