Fact - the people of the USA with their votes chose someone other than DJT.

Possibly true, but I'd still call his win, a handicap win.

He is not incorrect.

There is no national popular vote in the USA.

You sure seemed to love it when you told us that Hillary would be President, and dared us all to show up on this forum on Nov 9, 2016.

No, again you are wrong. Donald Trump won the election based on the rules that everyone was aware of. Are you suggesting that Hillary and Democrats forgot about the Electoral College or something?

"The people" is a different concept to the electoral college, and it's quite correct to say that the people didn't choose Donald Trump as their first choice.

Call it whatever makes you feel better about Donald Trump being your President.

Still sore, Kitty?


Instead, we're all being treated to the tRump reality show.

It's a limited run. Might be in its final season.


Enjoy it while it lasts.

The electoral college didn't anonymously pick a winner on it's own, the President is elected by the United States of America and the United States elected Donald Trump. The people in each autonomous state voted and we elected Donald Trump. Trying to claim that Trump isn't our legitimate President makes people sound quite ignorant and clueless.
