There goes the reel.....

First up less than 60% of the population actually voted in the election. So no real legitimate election result in my opinion. Of that amount only 42% voted for Trump, that says a lot of how apathetic Americans are about their politicians.

The electoral college voting system is really a personality competition in each state, each state has a certain amount of college votes. That is based on population per state. The person with the most amount of college votes wins. It's a complete and utter crock of an election system. The smaller middle states have a lot of college votes and therefore a lot of power in the game.

The system should have the popular vote wins full stop, it should be the total pool of voters. Having a system where the person with the popular vote loses is not representative at all.

BTW he is not a self made man. He is a crook, has been bankrupt more than not. Has ripped off workers, and everyone has suffered at his hands and only made money from real estate. That is not even a real way of making money, it is not a legitimate business operation. All his legitimate businesses have failed. He tells more lies that not and ironically is the master of fake news himself. He talks utter ****e all the time. He is a national disgrace and should not be seen as great at all. Obama was a statesman and tried to improve the system. So far Trumps changes have been about disruption and will be seen in the years to come as a devastation. He is a troll and should be kept under a bridge only.
