Podcaster and political commentator Dave Portnoy reacted to Donald Trump’s projected victory in the presidential election after a chaotic campaign. He shared his thoughts in a video on social media.
“He just didn’t win. He won for fun: he won the electoral, he won the popular vote, he got more votes than last time,” Portnoy said on Instagram early Wednesday. “Just a total ringing endorsement for the Republicans and Donald Trump and an indictment against the Democrats.”
The Fox News Decision Desk confirmed Trump’s win after he secured critical victories in battleground states like Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.
Portnoy believes Trump’s larger margin came because the Democrats insulted Independents and other voters. “The Democrats gave us no choice,” he stated. “That was the worst campaign and the pure arrogance and the moral superiority have driven people away. If you say you’re voting for Trump, suddenly you’re a Nazi, you’re Hitler, you’re garbage. Enough. Enough!”

“Millions and millions and millions of people voted for Trump,” he continued. “He won clearly. He won decisively.”
He emphasized the Democrats’ labels, saying, “So when you call us that, you’re calling the majority of the country ‘racists, Hitlers, Nazis.’ I don’t think you get the words of what that means.” Portnoy criticized their attitude, saying, “You are alienating all this middle ground people by acting like you’re better than us, smarter than us, and frankly insulting our intelligence.”
Portnoy also criticized Kamala Harris, noting that her campaign relied on “fearmongering.” He felt her pitch that Trump posed a threat to democracy was flawed. “It’s garbage,” he declared. “Tonight is on the Democrats. Congratulations Donald Trump, I voted for him. I felt I had no choice but to vote for him because of the campaign that the Democrats ran.”
He concluded with a direct message to the Democratic Party, saying, “You’re alienating half of the country. More of it.”
