It's pretty simple how he was voted in. He was the most voted for candidate :P but fr between him and hillary it makes perfect sense hes in now.
For the record, Trump lost the majority vote by the largest margin in U.S. history while still getting the presidency. This means that if we were going by popular vote, Clinton crushed Trump. According to this source, she actually won by 2,864,974 votes. Even if we are going to go with the narrative that there was voter fraud on the left (and for some reason there was none on the right) that's still a huge margin.

The reason that Trump is president is because he won the electoral vote, which is much different than the popular vote. Here's a very brief overview of the American political system for those on GBAtemp that don't actually know how it works. Basically when we vote for president, we are actually just telling our representatives (the electoral college) who actually vote who to vote for. In this case while the majority of people voted for one candidate, the electoral college voted for the other. This is the fifth time that a president won while losing the popular vote.

I have my own opinion on the electoral college and whether or not it should still be used in modern America, but that's not the point of this thread at all so I just wanted to state the facts to let you know what actually happened.

TL;DR: Clinton won the popular vote and Trump won the presidency. Whether that is good or bad is up to you to decide.

So what?
She was an illegal, it doesn't matter her views, illegals will and shall be kicked.
If she wants to live in there, she should go through the immigration process first instead of getting in the country like that and leeching of the economy without helping american society whatsoever.

This.
You just said it all.
There are some people that are saying that it was undemocratic that Hillary lost with the popular vote being won, but they don't even know what the electoral college even is.

You're illegal.

How?
Do you know what the fuck you're talking about mate?

I agree 100%
The electoral college just doesn't work in modern times. No one with 3 million more votes should be the loser. It just feels stupid saying "president Donald trump".

You're an illegal citizen of the earth. You should be deported to Mars where you can establish your own 5 square feet country and build a huge, beautiful wall around it so that not even Aliens can leech off of you.

Alright, now you're just joking.

It works, it has worked.
And you wouldn't be able to say president Clinton because you would have been nuked by now.

And it's questionable wether if Hillary did really won the popular vote. Let's not forget what the demoncrats do to get votes. Bussing people around, having dead people vote and making illegals vote.

"But that's too much effort" would be their reply methinks. Or "why do that when it's so much easier?" Or some BS reason. Well, don't come here illegally then, there's no problem. It's not about race, it's about legality, but the liberal media doesn't want you to believe that :rolleyes: Illegals get deported, then become martyrs and pull out the victim card, they knowingly broke the law and hope to get sympathy. Yes, poor them, poor victims who violated a federal law.

Yeah, you just said it perfectly my friend.
They are criminals who try to play the victim. It's like raping someone and saying you did it just because of your culture.

We wouldn't be nuked if Hilary got it or any other candidate that's just a silly thing cause if someone starts a nuke war the whole world will feel the effects. The electoral college was built to keep the system rigged if need be but hundreds of years later it no longer fits but has not been successfully removed or replaced. Are you saying what Donald trump was saying about illegal voting? Because that was determined to be BS actually trump is being investigated from being in ties with Russia and how they influenced the election against Hilary and for trump so he would remove sanctions. The evidence is piling up very quickly and if it and trump keeps spilling BS out of his mouth about being wire tapped from Obama and trying to replace our pathetic health care bill with a worse one which seems impossible but trump found a way to make it worse.

Neither candidate should've won, both of them are morons.

He was wiretapped though, there is already enough evidence.
All the Russian stuff is absolute BS, the democrats were the ones meeting with them.
And it wasn't confirmed BS, maybe the maincuck media said that and you fell for it.
And what Trump is doing with the healthcare bill will only help you, maybe if you weren't so brainwashed...

That's true I wasn't actually for either one but it come down to them in the end. If they do a bad job we all lose in America.

What dimension you live in? Obviously you don't pay a lot of attention outside of random new stories on Facebook. He wasn't wiretapped lmao that is hilarious trump thinks so. No proof has come from that and no Democrats wasn't meeting with Russian. Flynn and countless others were meeting and speaking with Russian ambassadors then lied about it and why he had to resign. The FBI director confirmed there is enough evidence to investigate trump and his administration because of ties to Russia. Hilary is done who cares about that part it's about trump lying and cheating. As for the health care bill they tried to pass look at the numbers that a REPUBLICAN CBO come up with on the American health care act. Under that bill a 63 year old person making $18000 a year would pay almost $20000 in health care and that's 2 more thousand than they make. Why do you think both Democrats and Republicans rejected the bill? Because it's stupid and doesn't help anyone but the wealthy.

We are all entitled to our opinions but what has he done exactly?

What has Obamacare done for those who can't afford them? I honestly want to know, aside from royally screwing people in who can't afford basic insurance over in the tailpipe. But I digress. Politics only create polarity and animosity =/
"Oh we want to give everyone healthcare, but if you're not making ends meet/are underemployed and/or are single, let's slap on a 600-dollar fine to motivate ya, but yeah, we know you don't have a good job, we care about you." Is the
gist of Obamacare. But I digress. I'm not against more widely-available healthcare, not at all, but what I am against is screwing people over who can't afford it by using a coercive method by penalizing people. It's bullshit IMO. As with
internet privacy? Nothing changes, they've been long before this passed.

Obamacare is a mess I never said it wasn't I ask what has trump done? You guys are just assuming I am liberal that hates anything Republicans do which isn't true. Also I want to see trump do well because if he doesn't then it hurts all Americans. My point was the new bill is a disaster and will cause around 24 million more Americans to not be covered and in the first 2 phases will skyrocket premiums and costs to make them unafforable. Around 10-12 years later costs MAY go way down but a decade is too long to fix health care. These aren't my numbers the CBO released them. The health care needs to be a decision of both Democrats and Republicans and needs to be good for America and not just wealthy people. Hopefully trump can make this happen. He just needs to focus on the problems such as health care, jobs, the deficit etc. He doesn't need to be spouting lies about wiretapping without presenting proof or he's so mad at the press because the reveal his BS and get good ratings over it. For everyone on here I do not want to start a huge argument over politics on a gaming website. There's nothing we can do about it and our opinions and the facts will not change no matter what we say to each other. I just hope trump can do a good job and he isn't tied into Russia I'm a bad way.

As for repealing everything what has that done? I know it hasn't been very long and hopefully things do change for the better. Also that's not a good answer to any politic discussion.
