Statistics dont lie.

About 55.7 percent of eligible voters in the United States voted in the 2016 Presidential election. Of those, about 46.1 percent voted for Donald Trump. Now since, by definition 50% of Americans must be below average, that proves that statistically every person who voted for Trump is likely to be below average. Furthermore, the current president was put into office by around 20% of the electorate.
So the election was hijacked by a small minority of idiots and they elected a fool.. And no one has actually DONE anything about it.. Shame on you America! Shame.!😱

I don't think this analysis is accurate or helpful to your cause.

I just got sick of Trump supporters using and quoting false and irrelevant data to support causes they were not connected to, and decided to bring out some real facts used in a way you could shoot holes through.. Just like they do. Cant a guy have a little fun?😉@Burnley123

@whowasthatmaskedman Look Irl I live in a city on another continent which hates trump near universally. My own politics lean radical left by European standards. A lot of Trump supporters on here are crazies and horrible people.

However, you are still wrong and you will not persuade people like this. Do you wanna feel superior or do you wanna bring people to your side. Your choice. Dude.

Your point is valid. But luckily Trump is one of those polarizing figures in himself. You are either for or against. I am viewed as strongly against, which is fair, even though I believe Americans were left with really lousy options this time. My ruse this time was simply to make fun of the Trump camps use of numbers and issues and out and out lies and see who bit.. ..I'm content that no genuine political opinions were harmed in the making of this post. @Burnley123

@whowasthatmaskedman FYI. I really really hate trump and I know people who will be going on the demo in London next Friday. I'd be there myself if it wasn't for work.

Are all his supporters beyond the pale? Are there understandable reasons (because of deep flaws and contradictions in American politics) why some people would have been conned into voting for that man?

I'd apply the same analysis to Brecit:an anti establishment vote which empowered something even worse.

I suspect you and I could have a really good debate on both these points.. My objection to Trump predates his entrance to politics and related to his business dealings and ethics. Not the sort of person you want running a 7/11. Let alone a great nation.
As for Brexit, I believe its the right thing to do, but for all the wrong reasons in this case.@Burnley123
