The Tweeter-In-Chief is tweeting in the third person

Wrong

You are a Dutch citizen living in the Netherlands that does nothing here but berate Americans and post pro Trump political spew.

Trump lost the American vote by over 2,000,000 votes and counting. The "American people" overwhelmingly chose a competent Hillary Clinton for president.

Until December 19th Trumps presidency is in limbo.

So who voted for Trump? The cats and dogs?

Just accept it, country and culture discriminating fool

Yeah Brexit is going great...lol, UK economy is a disaster and going to get much much worse

Brexit hasn't even started yet, meaning they're not even out of the EU yet, genius

And the British pound has already hit a 31 year low against the USD at the mere idea of it actually happening. Most if not all respectable economists think it will be a disaster.

And Trump...well lets see him do all these great things he has promised. Seems like he is just rounding up the usual suspects to run the country so he can tweet non-sense all day

It's called "quoting" ...

Wouter, pointing out that you're a Dutch citizen living in the wettest muddiest part of the Netherlands (Kring Van Dorth) isn't discrimination, it's a fact. You post here every day hating on Americans and judging/inputting on our politics without ever comparing to your countries politics, fact.

I stayed up all night on election night watching the results on CNN.
Trump led the popular vote all the way UNTIL California votes were counted.

Hillary's popular vote "win" has a lot to do with New York and California. Two of the most populous places in the USA (California IS the most populous state)

But Trump won the popular vote in the rest of the United States.

That's why there is an electoral college. So that everyone's vote counts...and not just the ones in California and New York.

This is a Union of States. Not one big state. But 50 different ones.
It's kinda sloppy but it's a better system than simply counting all the votes in the country and handing it over to the "winner" (since nobody's vote would count unless you lived in California or New York)

The thing I think they should change is the "Winner Take All" that is in effect for most states. It should be proportional.

If Trump or Hillary won a state by 4%...they shouldn't get 100% of the electoral votes. They should get the percentage that they won.

Pretty sure that still wouldn't have helped Hillary. She lost badly. But it still would be more representative of the votes from each state in my opinion.

Just read that California had 14 million people vote in the election!

And Hillary won that by 2 to 1. And they are STILL counting.

So yeah, California is the sole reason she "won" the popular vote. Google that up if you think I'm mistaken.

It's late , just one thing. California is like Nevada, like minded people from all over the states and vast majority are not born local but born from other states.

So you think 1 Wisconsin vote should = 543 votes because the person stayed in Wisconsin instead of moving to California, New york, miami or Nevada for work? No! No to the electoral college.

People move out of the shitty parts of the country (not wisconsin, just in general) and 1 vote should equal 1 vote not more votes for the segregated people in shitty parts of the U.S., or less desireable, or less populated.

People's vote value being devalued because they leave where there's no work to a place where there is quite frankly is idiotic and fitting of the 1700's when the electoral college was created.


I.E. 10,000 people leave Michigan because USA is shifting from industrial manufacturing to online tech. They adapt/learn and get tech jobs. Unfortunately the electoral college gives 321 votes per person in Michigan for each vote in California. So the distressed non adapters in every state are given 200-541/1 votes for a Californian. It's literally retarded. Adapters are penalized.

Wrong, i am just trying to wake people up

And thanks for reminding me i need to update my whois, sherlock weird that i make you obsess so much over me just by posting my opinion, i'm not interested at all in spending my time that way just because someone is disagreeing with me on a message board... you're officially melting down, congrats!

a vote is a vote, a person is a person. does it really matter where they live?

electoral college gives more power to lesser educated states. is that a good thing? i don't know. while i don't like the idea of a couple of states dictating an election everyone's vote should be equal. some states shouldn't matter more than others.

From what I understand, the POTUS isn't even supposed to be carrying their own personal cell phone. Correct me if I'm wrong here.

Exactly.

You do know you can tweet with something other than a cell phone don't you?
