Sean Hannity asked Trump to name his top-priority agenda items for his second term.

Trump's answer: “You know, the word experience is still good. I always say talent is more important than experience. I’ve always said that, but the word experience is a very important word. It’s a very important meaning. I never did this before. I never slept over in Washington. I was in Washington, I think, 17 times. All of a sudden, I’m president of the United States. You know the story. … Now I know everybody, and I have great people in the administration. You make some mistakes. An idiot like [the former National Security Adviser John] Bolton, all he wanted to do is drop bombs on everybody. You don’t have to drop bombs on everybody. You don’t have to kill people.”

It is true that he didn't have a compelling platform that could win the independent vote. But that's not the only reason he lost. He spent much of his efforts focused on his base; in effect preaching to the converted. I think this was a consequence of his massive ego. His rallies were focused on the group that somehow found him adorable. It only drew people who were going to vote for him anyway. Many people outside that group likely didn't find him very compelling. This particularly showed during the pandemic.

Biden didn’t either, he just wasn’t Trump.

Trump lost because he had no platform
You can say a lot of thing about Trump, and Democrats do! A Lot!
But saying he lost "because he had no platform" has to rank among the most ludicrous of statements.

I believe President Biden won because of his experience, character, and appeal to the political center while President Trump lost because of his lack of integrity and many policy and moral failures. Trump's efforts to question Biden's ethics and cognitive abilities failed in my opinion.
Trump lost because there was a 100 year pandemic and the elite billionaire establishment in Big Tech, Big Media, Big DC, and Big Corporate didn't like having an outsider screwing up their gravy trains so they pulled together in the biggest blitz we've ever seen.

95% of the media being pro Biden did not help.

Anyone have that article link where they admit the big media coordinated against Trump?
