By Sunday evening, a feeling perhaps most reminiscent of election night 2016, desolate and confounded, spread through the mainstream media, the liberal establishment, and among all those who were confident that they had surrounded Donald Trump and left him nowhere to run. This was-and there could hardly be any better illustration-defeat snatched from the jaws of victory.
As Sunday evening approached, a sense of defeat and confusion similar to that experienced on election night in 2016 pervaded mainstream media and the liberal establishment. Many who believed they had successfully cornered Donald Trump were left feeling desolate, realizing that their confidence had been misplaced. The situation exemplified a remarkable reversal of fortune.
This moment highlighted the unpredictability of politics, where a perceived victory can swiftly turn into a defeat. Author Michael Wolff, in his book "Siege: Trump Under Fire," captures this sentiment by illustrating how expectations can crumble and how strategies designed to trap Trump ultimately failed, leading to a deeper understanding of the complexities of his political resilience.
