    lost two straight elections

    ?

    He only lost one. Unless this is some veiled commentary about the illegitimacy of the electoral college

      2016 election by popular vote:

      Trump - 62,984,828 Clinton - 65,853,514

      Trump won the birth lottery. Ever since then he’s been a big fat loser.

        Then say he lost the vote. He very evidently won the election.

      Looks like yeah it’s EC stuff. I agree that the Electoral College seems antiquated and disenfranchises voters, but it is the law and fucking Trump was our President for 4 long years.

        Yup, those darn Democrats and their facts! How dare they have evidence to back up their claims?!

        Orange weirdo never had the support of the people, and his entire time in office was not only illegitimate, it’s downright embarrassing.
