Does he realise that if it went on the popular vote he wouldn't be President?

In his mind he won the popular vote too - it's only millions of illegally cast votes that makes it appear that he didn't :boggled:

Had he lost the Presidency through the popular vote, he is no doubt sure that there would have been an investigation, the millions of illegal votes would have been found and discounted and he would have been swept to victory....
 
To be fair - he does say that you campaign differently for a popular vote, so it goes back to the point that has been made before that if it was a popular vote, he could still have won because he would have campaigned differently.

To me the key point is that he said:

"I would rather have the popular vote, because it's — to me, it's much easier to win."

I'm not quite sure that electoral systems should be based on how easy they are for candidates to 'win'. A good electoral system comes up with the best result, not the easiest one.
 
Not sure whether politics or sport but....

"The US has put together a STRONG bid w/ Canada & Mexico for the 2026 World Cup," Trump tweeted.

"It would be a shame if countries that we always support were to lobby against the U.S. bid. Why should we be supporting these countries when they don’t support us (including at the United Nations)?"

Bully boy strikes again. Wasn't he building a wall between the US and Mexico?

The only reason why Dolt45 wants the world cup is because Putin is having one.

That's just Trump's pathologic narcissism. He's pretending he only lost the popular vote because he was so intelligent he knew what he was doing ahead of time and planned his campaign around the EC.

This excuse only emerged after he claimed Hillary's popular vote win was fake and that got too much push back.

You can watch Trump's reality shift like this often.

To be fair, all this assumes Trump actually is intelligent and cunning and that he planned his campaign when in reality the states that carried him just happened to be where his white nationalists base lived.

Also I doubt Trump was directing the Russian trolls and bots that carried on a social media campaign to get blacks to not vote.

Thanks for proving my point. ;)

Apparently, you took my question to mean something like ‘I don’t see how that’s true,” when I’m simply asking you to articulate in more detail what you claim.

So, in your own words...

How is the U.S. constitution “clearly against” sharia law?
