In America the electoral system is used to determine the winner.

But that wasn't what you said. You cited the vox populi as his legitimacy, not a faulty electoral system.

With Power Grid Under Attack, U.S. Struggles to Pursue Far-Right Extremists

 

An attack that plunged tens of thousands of people in North Carolina into darkness has raised new concerns over a mounting threat posed by radical homegrown extremists declaring open war on the United States power grid.

But experts and former officials note that, despite a stated priority in combatting this threat, obstacles exist for law enforcement agencies in pursuing such measures against individuals and groups on U.S. soil.

So you've gone from the radical suggestion that the US should do without its constitution, to implying that I should know what countries have successful democracies without constitutions, to acknowledging you don't know the basics of what you are posting about. 

 

That's worth remembering when reading your future posts.

Ergo why ignore was created...

Trump won indeed but not because the people spoke as you claim but because the Electoral College spoke. If it had been the people then Clinton had 2,864,974 votes more than Trump, the largest popular vote margin of any losing presidential candidate in U.S. history, according to the AP.

Give what a rest, correcting your false claims, nah, I prefer facts

 

Electoral College

In other U.S. elections, candidates are elected directly by popular vote. But the president and vice president are not elected directly by citizens. Instead, they are chosen by “electors” through a process called the Electoral College.

From wiki

Magna Carta still forms an important symbol of liberty today, often cited by politicians and campaigners, and is held in great respect by the British and American legal communities, Lord Denning describing it as "the greatest constitutional document of all times—the foundation of the freedom of the individual against the arbitrary authority of the despot

Have been saying since Jan. 6 that POTUS 45 will eventually be indicted and expatriate himself to a non-extradition country to avoid jail.  OF course even from Russia or China or any of the middle east countries, he can still spout off on socials to satisfy his followers/ devotees

I've been anticipating this since his inauguration.  I envisioned an area of dachas where he and his goons would live in exile among the oligarchs.  I thought Russia at first, but not now.

CPAC held a jamboree in Hungary in the past year, maybe somebody is doing advanced planning.  Orban is practically idolized on Fox.  Just think: Budapest, home of the US Republican Party in exile. 

And not just the social prattle, they can still run their various on-line businesses (selling pillows, asking for donations, and so on).

He won because of white resentment in 16.

Then he lost in 20.

Trump won in 2016 because the FBI put its thumb on the scale. After the voters realized what had happened they reversed their vote in 2020. At least those who were duped by Comey.

The Trump strikes again...gotta love his own stupidity.

 

https://www.politico.com/news/2022/12/05/trump-terminate-constitution-00072230

Former President Donald Trump on Monday denied he wanted to “‘terminate’ the Constitution,” two days after suggesting “the termination of all rules ... even those found in the Constitution.”

“The Fake News is actually trying to convince the American People that I said I wanted to ‘terminate’ the Constitution. This is simply more DISINFORMATION & LIES,” Trump said on Monday on his own social media platform, Truth Social.

 

The post seemed to be a complete denial of his post from Saturday, which remained online as of Monday afternoon: “A Massive Fraud of this type and magnitude allows for the termination of all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution,” Trump wrote over the weekend, once again falsely asserting that there was widespread fraud in the 2020 election.

Trump floated a trial balloon to see what his base thought about suspending the Constitution based on his lies about election fraud.  It didn't go over as well as he hoped, so he's back-tracking.

As I have said before: liked him as President, can't stand him as an ex-President.  I'm frankly happy when he does things like this because it will hopefully erode his base of support more quickly and let the GOP get on with choosing their 2024 candidate.

Just out of curiousity, what did you like about him as President?
