Most of the States voted for Trump. We do not elect the President by nationwide popular vote because the President represent's the States in International Affairs. Therefore, he is elected based on the popular vote within each sovereign State.

Obama was hated by many World Leaders, and his constant apologizing for America was seen as a weakness, and his bowing to Kings an act of servitude. The man was an embarrassment and disgusting.

Your opinion that 'every other country hates" Trump is just that ...your opinion. This is what you get from "news" organizations like CNN and MSNBC which lie and make up stories, the most recent being that Trump wanted to increase our nuclear arsenal ten fold. It was a complete fabrication.

Talking Donald Trump has state visit to UK downgraded 'and will not be guest of the Queen'

Trumpling/GOP logic:

"Who needs the Brits? We want tRump to cozy up to Putin!"

MAGA, DTS and all that stuff.

Newsflash: The world does not revolve around the United States of America. It's a difficult concept to comprehend, I know, especially with Donald Trump as president, but it's true. There are 195 countries in the world, and whether we agree with all their policies and traditions, we need to respect (or at least pretend to respect) most of them, in order to retain diplomatic ties and avoid being the cause of WWIII and other wars.

I agree. And California too is now a socialist Hell Hole. It is out of pure ignorance that these people supported Hillary Clinton, one of the most corrupt politicians in American history.

These people who think we should go by the nationwide popular vote are very ignorant about our Constitutional Republic. That's why they continually refer to "our democracy." Why were they not taught that we are not a democracy? Our schools are a failure because of "liberalism." These people are not able to think, because they have been taught what to think, not how to think.

Seems to me that you have it backwards. The UK is disrespecting the U.S. if this is true.

No, they are not. They are disrespecting one man, who has earned it in spades.

XXXX.
Total lies. He is respected. That's why he got the Royal welcome in Saudi Arabia a few months back, something they never gave to Barack Obama. Same when he visited Israel (obama's treatment of Netanyahu was disgusting). And let's not forget that Obama aided the overthrow of Hosni Mubarack, and supported the Muslim Brotherhood and had many Muslim Brotherhood operatives on his staff!
