Keep on flailing. Your own words prove your dishonesty.

No, it's where the candidate with the plurality wins. Unless a state has adopted ranked voting. In Maine, and maybe elsewhere, electoral votes are assigned by congressional district. And then the ranked voting system is used if no candidate wins a majority of the votes. As for your protestations about your political orientation...who cares what you claim. You can't prove it. And given that you can't even acknowledge when you are wrong about a simple matter of arithmetic, that only makes your claim even less persuasive.

There's a mathematician called John Paulos. He coined the word innumeracy to mean for math what illiteracy means for reading. Here, once again, are the total popular vote numbers: https://www.cookpolitical.com/vote-tracker/2024/electoral-college So the total popular vote was 155, 211, 283. Now, to figure out what a minimum majority of those total votes would be, you have to use something called arithmetic. More specifically,something that is called long division. This is something that, in the country I come from, the USA, we learn in 4th grade when we're about 10 years old. Perhaps you come from some disadvantaged nation where this wasn't taught. At any rate what you do is divide by 2. Then, if the result is an even number you add 1. If the result is an odd number you add 1/2. You with me so far? So, if you divide 155, 211,283 by 2 the result (technically the quotient) the answer you get is 77605591.5. So if you add 1/2 (0.5) to that the number you get is 77605592. You'll note that number is larger than the total of the popular vote that Trump received. To put it another way, Trump's total of the popular vote is less than that number. Which means that he didn't win a majority of the popular vote.

The problem with your quote isn't that while what you call the "other party" got 75 million votes, the other parties got more total votes than Trump. You really thought that you could get away with such a transparent attempt at obfuscation?

Anyway, we know you're full of it because of this post of yours: Give it up already.

He won with a plurality of voters. Not a majority of voters. More voters voted for other candidates than voted for him.

After President Donald Trump took over the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in February, he and the executive he put in charge repeatedly accused the institution’s former leadership of not doing the very thing they are responsible for: selling tickets. “We had spent way too much on programming that doesn’t bring in any revenue,” Richard Grenell, a Trump ally and former ambassador to Germany, told the Washington Reporter, a conservative media outlet, in late March... Nearly nine months after Trump became chair of the center and more than a month into its main season, ticket sales for the Kennedy Center’s three largest performance venues are the worst they’ve been in years, according to a Washington Post analysis of ticketing data from dozens of recent shows as well as past seasons. Tens of thousands of seats have been left empty. https://www.washingtonpost.com/entertainment/2025/10/31/kennedy-center-sales/

The issue is how much higher. An inflation rate of about 2 % is considered normal.

Or this: Trump won 77,284,118 votes, or 49.8 percent of the votes cast for president. That is the second highest vote total in U.S. history, trailing only the 81,284,666 votes that Joe Biden won in 2020. Trump won 3,059,799 more popular votes in 2024 than he won in 2020 and 14,299,293 more than he won in 2016. He now holds the record for the most cumulative popular votes won by any presidential candidate in U.S. history, surpassing Barack Obama. Running three times for the White House obviously helps. Kamala Harris won 74,999,166 votes or 48.3 percent of the votes cast. That was 6,285,500 fewer popular votes than Biden won in 2020, but 774,847 more than Trump won in 2020. More than 155 million Americans voted in 2024: 156,302,318 to be exact. That’s the second largest total voter turnout in U.S. history in absolute terms. It is also just the second time that more than 140 million people voted in a presidential election. https://www.cfr.org/article/2024-election-numbers

As part of a mob, she was breaking through a window to where members of Congress were being protected by police officers. Actually a glass panel in a door, I believe.

It seems to be a common predilection of Trump supporters to invoke the future either explicitly or implicitly as evidence. For the fact-allergic, invoking the future is their sad recourse.

I suspect that Dinsdale has put on ignore those of us folks who provided unimpeachable factual evidence that Trump did not win the popular vote. Feel free to copy what I and/or others have posted.

Even if your take on this is true, you can't know how Trump will fare in the future. And anyway, this is totally irrelevant to the issue of Trump's popularity. Or do you believe that claiming Biden's approval rating was even lower somehow proves that Trump is favorably viewed by most Americans?

Now, 2 posts feature this graphic from Ballotopedia: I can't believe that someone is so clueless that they can't understand this this simple graph. I'll give it a try: The top line is for Joe bodiens turm up to now: the second line (the darkest one) is for Trump's second term. The bottom line is for Trump's 1st term. What do you think it means that Biden's line is slightly above Trump's?

Do I hhave tocorrect your miscomprehension. The information I posted showed that Trump's rating was still slightly lower than Biden's at this point. That said, even if you got it right what misinformation did I post? What did I post that was false?

Not according to Ballotopedia https://ballotpedia.org/Ballotpedia's_Polling_Index:_Comparison_of_opinion_polling_during_the_Trump_and_Biden_administrations But even if that was the case, what's your point?

And And here's where he stands on some of the issues: https://www.natesilver.net/p/trump-approval-ratings-nate-silver-bulletin

So nobody among US citizens "care enough about the US economy, to support a plan that will work" but it's a good idea to implement it anyway?

Even if you take Bill Gates words at face value, he said nothing of the sort. I could spell it out for you but what would be the point?

They were really changing "Dang Mike Pence." Or maybe, because he's so hot, "Bang Mike Pence"?

And it has nothing to do with the realization that Trump is the President and has no hesitation in deploying the powers of his office legitimate and otherwise, against people he considers his opponents.

Once again, relevancy confounds you.

Actually, the Alexander Hamiltons touched upon the issue of the pardon in the Federalist Papers. “Humanity and good policy conspire to dictate, that the benign prerogative of pardoning should be as little as possible fettered or embarrassed... The criminal code of every country partakes so much of necessary severity, that without an easy access to exceptions in favor of unfortunate guilt, justice would wear a countenance too sanguinary and cruel.” https://avalon.law.yale.edu/18th_century/fed74.asp?utm_source=chatgpt.com Look at paragraph 3. At any rate, for better or for worse, it doesn't look like he agrees with you.
