Lots of firsts for Trump.

@beckyromero ...he'll have been aware of that, but failed to provide the details as it doesn't suit his narrative

@beckyromero The actual factoid is for an elected president losing pop vote twice...

@Neoerectus

That's not what the OP said:

"First person to lost the popular vote twice."

@SusanInFlorida I know. Me, too. But part of his reasoning (not that I agree with it) was he needed to prove that the emperor didn't care about his people. He wanted a huge tragedy that he could then blame on Hirohito's stubbornness.

Did it work? Absolutely. The Japanese people demanded an end to the war after that point. But I think you're right. It could have been done without the loss of life.

@LordShadowfire Small point of order... At the time of the Hiroshima bombing, the US had a total of 2 atomic bombs in inventory. And used them both. Since the political position was to save "American" lives by not invading the home Islands, Truman really had no choice. And a warning shot was not an option,.😷

@whowasthatmaskedman I mean, you are certainly entitled to your opinion, and neither of us were there, but I disagree.

@boudinMan

@LordShadowfire well, let's see... the electoral college has been around for quite some time. you know like since the beginning of the republic, so it's a valid question. i guess that's what scares you so much.
