Now, after admitting he doesn't loathe the 45th President of the United States Maher is nearing the completion of a sculpture of Donald Trump at a cost of at least $100,000. But the likenesses are normally not placed until a president is gone from office for two years and no location has been chosen for the cast of the convicted felon, adjudicated rapist and career criminal.
But here's the dealio: Trump lost in 2020 to Pres. Joe Biden by fetching nearly the same number of votes he won with — 74,216,747 and 74,848,942 in 2024. Joe won with 81,268,867 but Vice President Kamala Harris has only received 71,260,728 in counting so far hence it was only a landslide in the Electoral College.
So where are the 10,000,000 votes? Trump convinced Latinos and Black men that migrants were taking their jobs and threatened other people of color who showed up to vote at polling places. Young voters who turned out en masse for Pres. Barack Obama turned up their noses at VP Harris over the Biden administration's support for Israel's war crimes in Gaza so Trump won in states where Democratic senators also won. Harris won 30 of New Mexico’s 33 counties.
There is a push for Joe to step down so Kamala can spoil Trump’s 47 merch!
Although the bronze of Joe hasn’t even been commissioned the racists who visit Rapid City might just have to wait until the Orange Julius is dead and gone.
