Political News and Conservative Analysis About Congress, the President, and the Federal Government
hasn’t been sworn in as the 47th commander in chief, but that hasn’t stopped him from reminding supporters that will be his next title starting, Trump has repeatedly referred to himself as both the 45th and 47th president of the nation, a subtle sign of basking in his historic comeback victory.
Two days after Election Day, the campaign emailed reporters with the announcement that “the 45th and 47th President of the United States of America” had announced Susie Wiles as his White House chief of staff.. “And you know, with the results of the election, I think he’s able to gloat a little bit.”
“So I think it also ratifies his sense of being indestructible and one of the ultimate comeback stories in American politics,” he continued. “And so the tagline fits into that narrative, and obviously there’s some justification for that politically because he did come back.” Even before victory, Trump supporters had taken to wearing red MAGA hats that had the numerical symbol 45-47 on the side at rallies. In hindsight, it proved prescient that Trump fervor would help ride him to victory. With President Joe Biden’s unpopularity and rising inflation, Trump was primed to win over dissatisfied voters.
Trump’s 45th and 47th branding “kind of reads out the Biden years,” said Dallek. “And I think it is interesting, though, because the other thing it evokes for me, of course, is his election denialism around his defeat.”
