Major differences in the actual vote count...you see those of us who voted for Donald Trump;

1. Are American citizens

2. We only voted once each

3. Most importantly, we all were ALIVE.

With all these real votes President Trump probably won by many more than those 3 million shady votes.

Sounds to me as if you'd like to throw the Electoral College out and go with majority...
If that were the case, and I thank God it ISN'T, then the POTUS would always be determined by those crying liberals in California and New York... No thanks. Those idiots can play in their own sand box, thank-you-very-much.....

Most people are impressed with successful businessmen. Some people are jealous. Which one are you?

Do all companies that fail do that?

I would be fine with that if we only had to contribute federally as a percentage. No more supplementing red states and watching as the five largest states on disability go to the South. As it is, the most populous states contribute the most and their votes count the least. The one thing Trump is not a moron about is reducing our taxes where blue states can keep their money within their own states and tell red states to pay for themselves.

The country is in good hands. The corruption/incompetence purge starts tomorrow. People will be held accountable and expectations will be much higher.

I imagine that is a problem for many people in Government. Sorry about that
So, what?

I'm sorry, but you sound very young and naïve. However, your post is a clear example of why his (struggling) middle-class fans worship him: he has what they want and value, but what they don't, and won't ever, have themselves: money and power. By electing him, they can live vicariously through him.

Anyway, it's good that it makes you "chuckle" to hear people calling Trump names, like moron or worse. You're going to be "chuckling" over the next four years at least. I'm more than happy to give you a "chuckle."

I cannot rep you because apparently I have been rep'ing you too much lately

But yeah, when you think about it there would probably be no United States of America without the EC.

No way, no how would other parts of the nation stand for that. It would certainly break up.

The Founding Fathers were geniuses.

inheriting millions and spending it on real estate is not "wealth creation," it is rentier capitalism.
