It was a scene that could only be described as deliciously satisfying: MSNBC finally conceding that Donald Trump secured another term as president, an event that occurred after the clock struck way too late for most sensible Americans. The host, none other than Jen Psaki, mounted the podium with her typical somber demeanor, only to have the moment tainted by her subsequent rant against the man who will now be known as this country’s 47th president.
Upon announcing Trump’s victory in Wisconsin, Psaki immediately detoured into her favorite backstory: painting Trump as the villain of an all-too-familiar leftist fairytale. According to her narrative, Trump’s victory was rooted in a saga of grievances that she and her comrades have been vying for the podium on since 2020. To hear her speak, one would almost believe that January 6 was the centerpiece of his campaign, a convenient excuse for the Democrats to tiptoe around their own failures while neglecting to acknowledge why the American people were fed up with the current administration’s policies.

As she basked in self-pity and theatrics, Psaki managed to label Trump a “convicted felon” as part of a narrative intended to paint him as a monster vying to tear apart democracy. It’s a curious sort of irony, as the very cases against him stem from a string of partisan efforts that conveniently ignore the principles of justice and fair play. The melodrama reached new heights as she lamented about the loss of “women’s bodily autonomy,” all while asserting that Trump’s different vision for America was a threat to the very freedoms he had been elected to uphold.
The most eye-rolling moment came when Psaki, addressing the uncertainty of the future, expressed a wish that she could have called her daughter to announce the historic election of a female president. What this statement reveals is a contradicting mindset, as she clearly disregards the democratic process that led to Trump’s win, attempting instead to push a narrative that equates personal disappointment with a national tragedy.
Perhaps the most amusing part of her monologue was her insistence that our democracy isn’t centered around a single individual. This grew even more ironic as it showcased the Democrats’ disdain for differing viewpoints—what would normally be seen as the lifeblood of democracy. The truth is, Psaki’s commentary revealed more about her mindset than it did about the American electorate—a reflection of her own disillusionment rather than any significant analysis of the election’s implications.
Ultimately, her grand tirade was a showcase of sour grapes, where the alarmist rhetoric hardly masked the truth: the American public has spoken, and they are ready for a different direction under Trump’s leadership. The 2024 election results serve as a resounding endorsement of democracy, a system that Democrats seem to struggle to accept when they don’t get their way. The joy of watching Psaki struggle with that reality is simply the icing on the cake.
