President-elect Donald Trump is putting together his new administration as the 47th President of the United States while taking a much-deserved victory lap. Trump was all smiles at Thursday night's America First Policy Conference where he laid out the vision for Trump Administration 2.0, announced further White House appointments and hinted at others, and was feted by Hollywood mogul and actor Sylvester Stallone as the second George Washington.

To add more juice to the thrill of winning and the agony of the Left's defeat, America First Works created an ad that is a compilation of the media, political "experts," and stalwart Republicans who were quite sure that Trump's time had long passed and his political life was extinguished... FOREVER.

I choose "Bad Takes" for $1,000, Alex! If these folks had bet big money on their failed prognostications, they'd have lost a fortune. Perhaps some of them did. So, along with that loss of fundage, the majority of them are also losing their minds. 

This Bad Takes express was not limited to the legacy media. On X there was plenty of commentary from 2022 on, about how Trump would run again and lose BIGLY. 

The electoral map is complete. Donald Trump sweeps every battleground state to win the presidency with 312 electoral votes, @NBCNews projects. Kamala Harris finishes with 226. pic.twitter.com/IfgI90BUJM

Editor-at-Large of The Spectator, Fox News contributor, and Meghan McCain's husband Ben Domenech was quite confident in 2022 that Donald Trump running for a second term was a fool's errand, and that the age of Trump was done.

Trump is going to run. And he's going to lose.

Get ready.

— Ben Domenech (@bdomenech) July 13, 2022

Domenech should have taken his own advice to "get ready." Now he gets to join the ranks of the rest of his Never Trump pals who keep losing money, credibility, and those coveted pundit spots because they are so wrong, so often. 

Speaking of losers, this Lincoln Project grifter predicted that Kamala Harris would receive more votes than Biden did in 2020.

Trump is going to lose. It will not be particularly close. He will receive fewer votes than in 2020, and Harris will receive even more votes than Biden did. Trump will lose more states than he did in 2020. Because he is entirely unfit to hold any office in America.

That one deserves The Muttley laugh mix.

This one is really precious. Former California Congresswoman Katie Porter (D), who ran for Senate and lost in the primary election, still assumed she was relevant when she declared, “Soon Trump will lose, or go to prison, or I don’t know, have a heart attack. I don’t know what his demise is going to be, but he’ll have his demise,”

Porter is one to talk about heart attacks, but I digress.

“Soon Trump will lose, or go to prison, or I don’t know, have a heart attack. I don’t know what his demise is going to be, but he’ll have his demise” - Rep Katie Porter

Nothing to see here.. just an elected Rep @RepKatiePorter wishing for a political opponent to go to prison or… pic.twitter.com/B41GriyytM

“Soon Trump will lose, or go to prison, or I don’t know, have a heart attack. I don’t know what his demise is going to be, but he’ll have his demise” - Rep Katie Porter Nothing to see here.. just an elected Rep @RepKatiePorter wishing for a political opponent to go to prison or d*e.

Porter also traumatized her 12-year-old daughter with this hate. Porter claims that her daughter now fears she will be raped and impregnated because Trump won the election. If California's governor, Gavin "Hair Gel" Newsom holds tight to his promise to protect the violent illegal aliens in their midst, Porter's daughter could well be in danger of that fate. Despite their insanity, let's pray the lunatic Porter and her troubled daughter remain safe. 

Like Porter, actor John Cusack was more than confident that not only would Trump lose, but he would be sentenced to jail time and proclaimed that there should be celebration in the streets over this.

Trump will lose - 🙏
When he’s sentenced to jail time / everyone should celebrate in the streets

— John Cusack (@johncusack) October 28, 2024

No doubt Cusack has joined the ranks of his entertainment friends in deciding they need to leave the country. There's a villa in the South of France with his name on it, although with his box office record of late, he may not be able to afford it. Maybe Rob Reiner will float him a loan.

Kamala Harris will be the 47th President of the United States.

Pollster and political pundit Mark Halperin rightly predicted the greatest mental health crisis in the history of the country should Trump win, and we are witnessing it before our very eyes. 

But we won't get tired of winning, or rubbing it in the faces of those who loudly professed otherwise.
