President Donald Trump told radio host Mark Levin Monday that Democrats have had a major loss in confidence due to his win, adding that his second term has been “much different.”

Since Trump’s historic win in both the Electoral College and popular vote, Democrats have struggled to give one clear message to voters ahead of the midterm elections. On “The Mark Levin Show,” Levin asked the president if he saw his second term “differently,” questioning if he was able to “really grab this by the throat, by the neck” due to his past experience.

“Much different. Number one, I know a lot of people. I didn’t know anybody. I wasn’t in the world of Washington, D.C. But the radical left, they really lost their confidence. It was a bad election defeat. They lost everything, presidentially,” Trump said. “They’ve lost their confidence. They’ve lost the strut. They’re a bunch of real bad, very bad people. Very, very bad people. I actually think they’re sick people, if you want to know the truth. They’ve lost a lot of confidence, and they seem to be different. Plus, I have much greater support than I have had.”

“I won the popular vote by millions of votes. I won all seven swing states. You remember you and I talked, and it looked like I was going to win, do well. But nobody, you just don’t win all seven. I won all seven and won them easily. Won states that generally aren’t won by Republicans, won them by a lot,” Trump added. “So we have a big mandate. I don’t know why they should be surprised, but they are taking it hard.”

During former Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign, she attempted to use Hollywood’s influence, teaming up with celebrities like Oprah, Megan Thee Stallion, and Beyoncé. Trump went on to highlight the Democrats’ payment to celebrities, calling it “all a scam.”

“They go out and they pay Beyonce, as an example. Somebody just showed me something. They gave her $11 million. For what? For an endorsement, I guess, because she didn’t sing. They paid Oprah $2 million. They even paid a scam artist named Al Sharpton, total scam artist, to honor Broly,” Trump said.

“It’s all a scam. But the good news is the public understands it. The public has gotten wise to it. They’ve seen it. But how do you pay Beyonce $11 million? They also ran out of money. They have no money,” Trump said. “They spent $2.7 billion, and they can’t raise the final $28 million that they’ve been looking for a long time.”

Despite having dozens more billionaires in support of her campaign, Harris not only lost the election to Trump but also left the Democratic National Committee reportedly in debt as they attempted to boost her chances of defeating him. Due to the spending issue, the DNC ended up firing hundreds of employees, with some members shocked by the lack of accountability.
