> And Americans voted for this! Twice!

For many Americans, three times!

And for many Americans, never.

Also, bear in mind that the first time he won he lost the popular vote by 2.1 percentage points. We have a voting system that favors less populous states.

It turns out electing a stupid, vengeful narcissist and liar who is at death's door is not the way to go.
