Trump was and remains popular in the US as many voters could not bring themselves to have another Clinton in a position of power.
As regards a 20min slot at our Parliament why not everyone and their mother seems to believe we remain a democracy.
He lost the popular vote by over 2 million - it was just the vagaries of their incomprehensible system that means you can lose the vote and still win.
He is a grotesque individual but, on balance, I go along with the view that we are honouring the office rather than the man.
No doubt at all that other presidents, both democrats and republicans lost the popular vote but still won via electoral college system, where some states carry more weight than others. The system is what it is and the clever people aim to win the most influential states. He has done what promised to do during campaign ( how many elected politicians do that ? ) The democrats were predicting ( ie hoping for ) a massive swing against incumbent party, which often happens in US mid term elections but it never really happened and only a few seats changed hands ( GOP actually picked up a Senate seat or two). Some of Trumps most controversial policies were actually courtesy of obarmy, including ban on travel from dangerous mu5l1m countries - Obama compiled the list, and the U.S. has always separated kids from parents where illegal immigrants are concerned because kids cannot be housed in adult facilities, whether that is a jail or a detention centre, and that is mainly for the protection of the kids. As far as sanctions on Iran were concerned Clinton passed the legislation but every year when time to decide came up the incumbent president flunked it and did not enact sanctions, so Trump did as Iran was playing fast and loose, nd now he is the bad guy.. When the liberal, democratic press is against you it seems it is open season on Trump, but I bet he gets re-elected in 2020, as the democrats are a bunch of institutionalised sheep....
Haven't checked but pretty sure of my facts here. No winning president has lost the popular vote by as big a margin as Trump and I'm pretty sure that only Republicans have benefitted. George W Bush and one other. In almost all US elections the popular vote gets you over the line.
The Electoral College hasn't changed for many years even though votes need to be re-allocated to reflect population changes. Trump was able to win states in the old rust belts which have, on current population levels, over representation in the electoral college.
Trump supporters are "relaxed" about the fact that he got less than half the votes cast but that's because he is on the far right. It's why he has a lot of support in the UK as well.
If a Democrat "won" in this way the far right would be screaming blue murder.
