Viewers were quick to point out the “looks of horror on the faces of the other commentators,” including CNN anchor Anderson Cooper, who stared wordlessly at Jennings as his words hit home.

“I interpret tonight’s results as revenge for the regular old working-class American, the anonymous American who has been beaten down, insulted and condescended to,” Jennings said.

“They’re not trash, they’re not Nazis.” They’re just normal people who get up every day and go to work and try to give their children a better life, and they feel like they’ve been told to They should just keep their mouths shut if they have complained about the things that are hurting them in their own lives.’

Jennings summarized Trump’s victory as a “mandate,”Get the economy running again for ordinary working class Americans, regulate immigration, try to control crime, try to reduce chaos in the world.

He also criticized political pundits for thinking “gimmicks” like “Tim Walz and the Invisibility Hats” would win the election “Ignoring the fundamentals” like “inflation” and “people feel like they can barely tread water at best.”

“All of us who cover elections have to figure out how to understand, talk to and listen to the half of the country that stood up tonight and said: We’ve had enough,” Jennings said.

“We ARE not stupid, racist, xenophobic or bigoted!” We are hardworking, family comes first, we follow God, love peace and want the best for our families, our neighbors, our country and then for the world! Don’t lie to us and fire us!’

“This election should serve as a wake-up call for DC elites, Hollywood and media activists,” another person said.

Trump on Wednesday became the first president in more than 130 years — and only the second in history — to win a non-consecutive second term.

His victory over Vice President Kamala Harris marks a remarkable comeback for a twice-impeached president.

He left office in 2021 amid allegations of inciting an attack on the U.S. Capitol and was convicted of multiple counts of business fraud earlier this year.

The 78-year-old politician also becomes the oldest president ever inaugurated, surpassing President Joe Biden’s record by five months.

Trump achieved his remarkable victory on a night reminiscent of 2016, when he won the key swing states of North Carolina, Georgia and Pennsylvania.

Harris never conceded the race. Instead, former Rep. Cedric Richmond — her campaign co-chair — said after midnight Wednesday that the vice president wouldn’t address supporters until “tomorrow.”

Trump’s victory marks the end of a turbulent 2024 election campaign – punctuated by Biden’s dramatic withdrawal from the race in July and two shocking assassination attempts on Trump.

But his inflammatory rhetoric and penchant for personal attacks mean he will now lead a divided country that shows little sign of healing.
