"AN ELECTORAL VOTE LANDSLIDE"?

 

Is that how you're putting lipstick on this pig?  Trump got 800,000 fewer votes than Clinton.  He got 290 electoral votes due to the winner takes all nature of the election.  A shift of 60,000 votes in Florida would have given the election to Clinton.http://www.politico.com/2016-election/results/map/president 

 

 

Yes an electoral landslide. He will take Michigan, making the count 306 to 232. The popular vote is irrelevant. Oh and I love your rant about Florida. With Michigan in Trump's count, Hillary still loses.

 

But I get it- you're looking to ease the pain of a stinging loss.

The relation between truth and "exaggeration", is probably going to be one of the hallmarks of Trump's presidency.

Point being Trump publicly insisted he will never settle.

Guess we all know how the upcoming spins - "he's actually showing flexibility of opinion and adjusting his position", "he just wanted to put it out the way in order to deal with the important issues", "this money is peanuts for a guy like Trump", "Trump won the elections".

 

Trump won. It's time you got over it.

Out of curiosity, if you think a 290 electoral vote win, possibly rising to 306, is a landslide, how do you describe Obama's 2012 win with 332 electoral votes, or his 2008 win with 365 electoral votes?  Both of these victories came with wins in the popular vote as well.

 

But I get it; you're trying to ease the pain of a stinging rejection by the majority of a fraud who only won by an undemocratic feature of the election process.

 

BTW, Clinton's vote lead is now 1.6 million.

Trump won indeed. Now's the time to see what his "best words" amount to. So far, not quite what supporters on this forum posited. And again, a candidate's victory does not mean the other side falling in line with his views. Time you got over people not hailing the president-elect.

Also ... the hypocrisy. The right wing did everything they could to block Obama's agenda and now anti-trumpists are supposed to wear the red hat?

Good grief, how can you say anything about his record when he hasn't done anything and can't till he is actually president.

It's like some on here want him to fail and the US collapse into civil war just so they can say "see, I told you so"!

Don't they get that if they get their wish and Trump fails THEY suffer?

True, now the Dems can try and do the same, but one problem- they are a minority. Thanks to Harry Reid, they can't even stop Donald's pick for SCOTUS.

Taken from the Daily Show.

A 70 year old man with no experience in retail couldn't get hired as a minimum wage clerk at TARGET.

Now a 70 year old man with no experience in government just got hired for the most powerful government job in the world.

Makes sense, huh?

Easily. I can compare his statements before he won the elections to post-election statements and actions. And before anticipated objections - public conduct opposed to previous statements & appointments. There's this gap Trump supporters try very hard to ignore or belittle. But somehow it is perfectly acceptable for Trump supporters to celebrate great things he (supposedly) will do, while at the same time claiming he "hasn't done anything".

 

And on with the hyperbole: If Trump fails, the US will not collapse into a civil war. And, far as I recall, the only ones ever mentioning such ideas were hardcore Trump supporters at certain times prior to the elections. Criticism of Trump, his views and his statements does not equate with a desire to see the country plunge into chaos, that's your own imagination at work right there.

 

How will Trump's failure to implement ideas rejected by those opposing him would lead to their suffering? The whole point of opposing a political side is not agreeing with ideas and policies.

Many people would like to see @Nigel_Farage represent Great Britain as their Ambassador to the United States. He would do a great job!

03:22 - 22 Nov 2016

 

Donald Trump said in a tweet that the head of the British Eurosceptic party Nigel Farage would do "a great job" if he was named ambassador of his country in the United States, a new sprain of the president elected to diplomatic

practices.

Three Indian businessmen met President -elect D. Trump at the Trump Tower. The latter concluded a few years ago a partnership with a real estate tycoon, Mangal Prabhat Lodha, who is also a member of the ruling Nationalist Party of India.

Delicate posture,  given the complex relations of the United States with the two regional rivals that are India and Pakistan.

The Trump Organisation has ties  with the Lodha Group in Mumbai in 2013 and with Panchshil Group in Pune in 2014 for two luxury residential projects that are being marketed as signature Trump Towers.

Entangled mix of business ties and conflicts of interest /  US diplomatics  / economics / politics

Will take experts and time to apply an appropriate vetting : before the election /  end of 1st mandate 

But who cares , what could be wrong , still no tax returns records release ?  

Electoral college will do the job as usual...kind of "  blind trust"  is'nt  it?

This is why Trump and everything he stands for is unfit to be President. Be very careful America. Watch this and weep. Is this how Trump will make America great again? This video is of a meeting in Washington DC 3 days ago. This is disgraceful and they are motivated back in to action...........by Trump. 'Hail Trump'

What is happening and is about to happen is so wrong and so against the interests of the people of the United States. Pigs at the trough does not even come close at describing the money grabbing opportunism that this family of deplorables has now commenced. Shame on the American people for voting a family of blood suckers into power and giving them the keys of power. I understand the need for change but the educated amongst you will rue the day you trusted this man and his obnoxious children.

I don't know if any of the things you claim will or won't happen, but if they did, at least they would be done by attractive people instead of her intern molesting husband that was the alternative.

Well despite the thread being about all things Trump and nothing to do with Bill Clinton, you mean as opposed to the President Elect allegedly being witnessed by an adult whilst he was being given head by a 12 and 13 year old. Yeah right. Role on the court case and lets see how much he settles for to keep that one out of the court room. How much will he pay for that "in the interests of the American people' ?

Last week, the Prime Minister of Japan announced that Trump could be trusted at the end of his visit. This week Trump announces US to quit TPP trade deal on first day in Office.

Last week Trump sent Theresa May an "invitation" in a surprising form to come and see him in New York. This week he proposes to appoint Farage as ambassador of Great Britain to the USA.
These practices are likely to irritate some of the closest US allies and quickly arouse deep concern in the entire international community.

Someone has to explain  D. Trump that the diplomatic game is not about choosing for each country an ambassador in line with the government in site ( a communist for Beijin, a muslim for Cairo, a fool for Pyong Yang... )

The Ambassador's position requires he represents his country, defends its national interests and point of view with the government of the country where he is appointed.

Trump Foundation admits to violating ban on ‘self-dealing,’ new filing to IRS shows

 

"President-elect Donald Trump’s charitable foundation has admitted to the IRS that it violated a legal prohibition against “self-dealing,” which bars nonprofit leaders from using their charity’s money to help themselves, their businesses or their families."

 

"In one section of the form, the IRS asked if the Trump Foundation had transferred “income or assets to a disqualified person.” A disqualified person, in this context, might be Trump — the foundation’s president — or a member of his family, or a Trump-owned business.The foundation checked “yes.”

 

"Another line on the form asked if the Trump Foundation had engaged in any acts of self-dealing in prior years. The Trump Foundation checked “yes” again."

Interesting, that Farage character is associated with the alt-right movement. I know the UK passed Brexit (stupid move) and the USA elected trump (stupider move) but I hardly think the UK is represented by an alt-right British clown just because the USA has some variety of alt-right clown president.

Yes of course Obama won in electoral landslides. Why did you think it would be difficult for me to say so? I'm not sure why you are harping on about the popular vote.

 

Now, let's get to the funniest part of your post: where you said " a fraud who only won by an undemocratic feature of the election process."

 

Ummm.... we're not a democracy, we're a republic. The sooner you understand that, the better. Your crying about the popular vote only points out that you don't understand how our national electoral system works.

 

And finally, there is no pain in Trump's victory over Hillary Clinton. Frankly, I'm surprised he pulled it off. Why would anyone who wins be in pain? That makes no sense whatsoever.
