‘He’s an American badass’: Vivek Ramaswamy explains why Trump won the US election

In the wake of Donald Trump’s remarkable victory, Vivek Ramaswamy, a rising star in the republican partyhas given a compelling reason for his success: the former president is “a American badass.” In a recent statement, Ramaswamy celebrated Trump’s triumph, explaining that while many in the media misjudged the 45th president, his resilience and confidence were key to his comeback.
“Trump is not an ideologue or a policy wonk,” Ramaswamy said. “He’s an American villain. They tried to disqualify him, imprison him and even kill him twice — none of it worked. They underestimated him, and by extension, they underestimated the American people.” Ramaswamy’s bold words reflect his deep admiration for Trump’s ability to defy the odds, especially in a deeply polarized political climate. He credits Trump’s victory with embodying a spirit of American exceptionalism that resonates with millions of voters across the nation.

For Ramaswamy, who has become a significant voice in the Republican Party through his outspoken criticism of “corporate wakeness” and his advocacy of free-market capitalism, Trump’s success is a testament to the broader appeal of a tough, unapologetic leadership style.
Ramaswamy, who aligned himself with Trump during the election season, has become a key supporter of Trump’s economic agenda. His pro-business stance and strong opposition to what he considers “left-wing overreach” have earned him growing influence in Republican circles.
However, Ramaswamy’s focus is on the strength of the American spirit that Trump represents. He sees Trump’s success as the embodiment of the nation’s resilience – a nation that despite challenges.
“He is like our nation in that way. We have always believed that it was our manifest destiny to be unique, to be the greatest nation on Earth, to show the world what is possible for humanity to achieve, even when other countries doubted us,” Ramaswamy said.
“Trump’s comeback is the American comeback,” declared Ramaswamy. “Our nation deserves a badass commander-in-chief right now — and that’s exactly what we have.”
Ramaswamy’s words stand in stark contrast to the more sombre response of Vice President Kamala Harris, who conceded defeat with a pledge to continue fighting for progressive ideals. Speaking to a crowd at Howard University, Harris acknowledged Trump’s victory while pledging to continue fighting for women’s rights and against gun violence. She called the loss “not what we wanted” but expressed hope that “the light of America’s promise” would continue to burn brightly despite the result.
As Trump celebrates his historic victory, Ramaswamy’s influence continues to grow within the GOP, and many see him as a potential future leader. Trump himself has hinted that Ramaswamy may play a prominent role in the next administration, with speculation that he could be considered for a cabinet post to help advance the president’s deregulation agenda.
