President-elect Donald Trump said in an interview published on Wednesday that Democrats lost the 2024 election because they did not understand common sense things that people do not want to see in their lives.
Trump made the remarks during a lengthy interview with TIME that was published when the magazine announced that he was the 2024 “Person of the Year.”
The soon-to-be 47th president said his campaign was successful because “we said things that were on the minds of the country.”
“I think the Democrats didn’t get it,” he said. “They just kept going back to the same old nonsense. And it was nonsense, especially in where we are right now. And we hit—we hit something that was very special. We hit the nerve of the country.”
Trump said that Democrats did not get “the feel of the country,” which he said was people being in a state of anger because of the millions of illegal aliens that President Joe Biden allowed in.

He said that the border and illegal immigration were a bigger factor in why he won the election than even the economy.
“[People] don’t want to be invaded by [182 illegal aliens from different countries] at this moment,” Trump said, adding that he is willing to use the military to assist law enforcement with the removal of illegal aliens from the U.S.
Trump said that Republicans had become “the party of common sense,” and that’s why voters chose them to run the country.
“I think people want to lead a good life,” he said. “I think they want to be able to buy groceries at a reasonable price and not have to turn off their heat in order to buy two apples. I think that people want security. I don’t think people want to have our borders rushed by—it’s really an invasion of our country by foreign countries, and not just South America. I mean, these are countries all over the world.”
“It’s really, I think our people want common sense applied to their life, and they don’t want to see a girl be beat up in a boxing ring by a man, as happens,” he added. “They don’t want to see somebody in a weightlifting contest, a woman against a man. It makes no sense. They don’t want to see, you know, men playing in women’s sports. They don’t. They don’t want to see all of this transgender, which is, it’s just taken over.”
