The facts:


Trump 2016 - 306 electoral votes
Obama 2012 - 332
Obama 2008 - 365
Bush 2004 - 286
Bush 2000 - 271
Clinton 1996 - 379
Clinton 1992 - 370
Bush 1988 - 426
Reagan 1984 - 525


what a maroon!

LOL..I'm assuming you mean Moron ... and have to agree 100%

Actual facts and information doesn't mean one thing to him. He's been a con-artist his whole life. He settles his cases left right and centre ..but blames whomever sued him for years before he finally settled. Wonder what his victims of "Trump University" think about this spewing moron, of alternate facts that takes advantage of innocent victims. ??? Point is.. In the Old days..these types were called "Snakeoil Salemen" to day we can coin a new term!! Being "TRUMPED"

But still after decades of documented fraud cases, bilking businesses out of their pay for work done, dumping businesses leaving himself rolling in money and Investors total losses ( not counting those employees who were left OUT of a job) .. He's morally considered a predator forcing unwanted aggression on vulnerable women.. Gees the list is endless!! Art of the deal for him being the " LIAR/False Promises" BS'er in chief.

Having said all this.. It's obvious that his base ( not all his original supporters at all) came out of the woodwork.. marginalized for decades..feeders of Alternate propaganda for decades... Voila.. They not only have a voice now.. but powerful elected and appointed individuals that constantly tweet or repeat their previously marginalized message!

I so feel sorry for my American friends!! Trump has lived in a private bubble his whole life.. deny's any faults, blames everyone else for his failures.. So who's wondering now why he is behaving like this? .. His Mouthpieces too are culpable for spreading his BS too.. and worse.. trying to rationalize it to normal common sensical citizens!! Boy, what a mess

Trump said he was talking about Republican electoral wins. He had the biggest win since Bush, from your data, 30 years ago. I don't care to look your assertions up, so will take your word for it. Is the electoral college quote all you got out of the Press Conference?
A quote from Bugs Bunny: "What a maroon, what an ignoranimus"
He didn't say "Republican" wins, and he said Reagan, not Bush. But I just thought it was funny. If that's the biggest mistake he ever made, we'd be OK. Unfortunately, he's made far more serious errors, with more to come.

Trump did say Republican and he said Reagan. You are right about the later, not the former. He did have the biggest Republican win in the electoral college since H.W. Bush, according to the OP, almost three decades ago. Listen again to the press conference. He goofed about Reagan.

Here's the deal. Trump gets things done as he promised in his campaign or he doesn't. He has two years.

When anyone corrects him they are "fake new". I do think in his mind he thinks he is correct.

He always has to be the best when everyone else knows differently. He really needs to get over the election. It is getting old.

It's been 3 months since the election. Why oh why is this still his opening remark? He did the same yesterday at a press conference with Israel when he was asked about the uptick in anti-Semitism in the US. What in the world does the electoral college have to do with anything at this point. Then he went onto a blah blah about bringing love and peace to America and the world. It was bizarre.

A more secure man, POTUS, would have no need to repeat this crap over and over and over.

first he said "since reagan" and when a reporter pointed out that was false he said "republican".....which was also false.

"i beat W." doesn't sound really impressive.
