    Trump won the popular vote. Period. You can’t have your country elect a pedonazi and then pretend like he is not your democratically elected president. He always have at least 40% of the population approval. He’s the potus and represents the US.

      This may come as a shock to you, but he wasn’t unanimously voted in as president. There are tens of millions of us that actively voted against him. Those that did and do support him can’t pretend like this isn’t the consequences of their actions, but the rest of us sure as shit can.

      Even among the traitors and idiots that did vote for him, even the majority of those don’t agree with his war in Iran.

      Have you have lived somewhere where you didn’t agree with your democratically elected official? It’s possible to be critical of that person’s actions and not be culpable for them.

      Unfortunately, you are correct that he does represent the US, and that’s damage that will probably outlast my lifetime, but representation doesn’t mean reflection, and his actions don’t reflect the majority opinion in the US right now.

        I voted in every election in my province/county for the past 20 years and none of the party I’ve voted for have ever been elected. I don’t like either of my Prime Ministers, federal and provincal, but they have been democratically elected and are my representatives. trump his your president, stop acting like he’s not and fix your own mess.
