Please don't stoop to your usual calling me a Trumper, I didn't vote for him, AND I think he is a Buffoon, but stop bringing up stupid shit, this is not a popular vote democracy, and thats a good thing to because if so, 50% of the white, bigot, asshats that live in this country could vote minorites have no rights again
