“A landslide,” he claims. Let's fact check the feckless claims and vainglorious grandstanding. In Electoral College votes alone, the man ranks near the bottom. In terms of popular vote, the picture is far worse. A simple pie chart shows the certified election result, raw data as follows:
Eligible Voters — 231.6 million
Eligible voters not voting — 92.7 million (40%)
Raw Vote Total — 138.9 million
Clinton Vote — 65.8 million (29%)
Trump Vote — 63 million (27%)
Other (third parties) — 7.8 million (3%)
Clinton plurality over Trump — 2.8 million
As you can see, only 27% of eligible voters decided the election. Almost three (3) voters in four (4) did not vote for the troll in the hole — hardly a landslide (or mandate) as claimed.
Yet the man-child in the White House and his minions cling to a falsehood. Let’s recall an old adage: “Figures don’t lie but liars figure.” Which is why I prefer to call him by his real title: BOGUS POTUS #45.
As Winston Churchill once said, A lie gets half way around the world before the truth gets its pants on.
