If nothing else the next couple of years will be very interesting
Aren't they busy murdering the indigenous population?
The truth is of course that more Americans did vote for her, but that was driven primarily by the system upon which the voting was established, in other words the number of electoral votes was important - not the actual number of votes cast.
IF the election was indeed run on a popular vote system when every single vote counted, then the turnout, and probably the outcome would have been very different indeed.
Hilary, under the same system, attracted far fewer votes than Obama did and she was up against a candidate who was devisive and controversial, the fact that she was unable to hold onto the same voters that had voted for Obama, IMO, negates any claim she may have that she actually won the popular vote.
In essence, she proved to be a very unpopular candidate.
We will unfortunately never know, but in my opinion, a democratic candidate with less baggage and a broader appeal, would have wiped the floor with Donald.
That was seriously weird
I just nicked off face book.

Qualiteeee!
I just love the humour on this forum! ;clap
Bear with, bear with - listen to the chorus ;biggrin
According to Trump, God prevented it raining on their

Trump says lots of things.
And he lies.
Millions of Americans know this and didn't vote for him.
Millions of Americans voted for him amd will learn this.
Duuuuuuhhhhhhhhhhh

My comment earlier was a ;doh at the lie. I mean, they could think they'll get away with fudging the attendance figures. People might still believe their version of events or interpretation of the facts.
But to lie about the actual weather? ;doh ;lol

He would have much been better served to just ignore the issue as it really is not an important issue, unfortunately, he could not help himself and he felt the need to fight back at what he saw as a slight against him.
#poorjudgement
Frankly the very first White House press secretary briefing was simply jaw dropping.
The essence was that Trump wants the history books to record that more people were at his inauguration than any other, he then expects a line to be drawn under the issue believing that if he says something is true then we should all simply accept that it is true and move on.

But what you are doing is so important.
It seems to me that he sees the media (or at least an unbiased media, interested in the facts, and unaccountable to him) as a threat.
So he is trying to neutralise that threat by both discrediting and marginalising such media.
He is trying to disempower the reputable media, manipulate the news, and embed a worldview that facts are irrelevant, anyone who disagrees is lying, and the truth what he says it is.
That, imo, is why the first presser of his newly appointed Press Secretary took no questions, and made claims that were easily disproved. And why he is (apparently) considering removing credentials from reputable media outlets, or those that are critical, and inviting selected 'bloggers,' sycophants and non-mainstream to be part of the press corps.
Nailed.
