Dude never did win the popular vote he lost by roughly 3 million votes, he was lucky to get close wins in many key states and thanks to the stupid electoral college he was given the presidency.
Notice how the last two times Republicans have won the presidency for their first term they have lost the popular vote in both cases. We don't use an electoral college for any other election but for some reason the presidency is where it still is front and center.
and i'm not arguing that. just saying its still legit cause thats how the system was designed to work. its not perfect but it would suck to just let 3 major cities have pretty much the only voice that matters. they have no fucking clue what I need or want where I live.
Neither does Trump. All he cares about is golfing at his private country club and paying himself to rent golf carts from himself on the taxpayer dime and profiting off it.
and i'm out of this. not here to talk about the politicians themselves. the candidates we where given both kinda sucked. main thing i'll give trump credit for is actually trying to follow through on a campaign promise. (can't recall if he succeeded or not, think he settled for less but ultimately did get it.)
What campaign promise? Build the wall? Nope Make Mexico pay for it? Nope Repeal and replace Obamacare? Nope (Republicans have nothing to replace it with either) Defeat ISIS within 30 days of taking office? Nope Not go golfing? Nope Not leave the White House while in office because he would be so busy? Nope
I said he tried. if you read, you'll say I was unsure if he got it. but he really did push on the wall. yeah I knew from the start mexico was never going to pay for it. i'm not that naive.
The dude does try you have that right, this is basically like hiring a guy to build you a deck on your house he comes out does a shitty job and you can't even stand on it because it's not built well enough to even take a couple people standing on it, you then pay the guy anyways because hey he tried!
a lot of presidents have been known to simply just not even try what they said they'd do though. think one was famous for saying "no new taxes" then added in some new taxes. I was just giving credit for making the attempt. not praising him, just giving credit.
i'm undecided on how I feel about a wall though. i'm all for slowing up illegal immigration just not sure its the best use of the money vs how many it would actually stop. ---
