Trump tweetstormed for protests against election result and electoral college - are WITH HIM?

Original post made by A, Atherton: other, on Dec 27, 2016

“He lost the popular vote by a lot and won the election,” Trump tweeted. “We should have a revolution in this country!” Web Link

I'm okay with the EC, but president-elect Trump demanded protests and more against the Electoral College and the 2012 election. "We should march on Washington and stop this travesty. Our nation is totally divided!"

“We should have a revolution in this country!”

What local protests are going to occur in California in January? Can the Almanac list any planned local actions, as well as cover any spontaneous protests as called for by Donald Trump?


Source: CBS News November 10, 2016 - Donald Trump called Electoral College "a disaster" (some tweets removed by poetus out of personal embarrassment at his recklessness)

@realDonaldTrump
This election is a total sham and a travesty. We are not a democracy!
8:33 PM - 6 Nov 2012

@realDonaldTrump
The electoral college is a disaster for a democracy.
8:45 PM - 6 Nov 2012

@realDonaldTrump
Our country is now in serious and unprecedented trouble...like never before.
8:39 PM - 6 Nov 2012

@realDonaldTrump
Lets fight like hell and stop this great and disgusting injustice! The world is laughing at us.
8:30 PM - 6 Nov 2012

@realDonaldTrump
We can't let this happen. We should march on Washington and stop this travesty. Our nation is totally divided!
8:29 PM - 6 Nov 2012

from CBS: "In several tweets he later deleted, Trump wondered how Obama won even though Republican nominee Mitt Romney had more votes (though in the end, Obama won the popular vote as well)."

“He lost the popular vote by a lot and won the election,” Trump tweeted. “We should have a revolution in this country!”


Well there we have it. As I stated, I am okay with the EC, but we should honor our president-elect's wishes and do as he instructed in 2012. In Donald's words: "unpresidented" Web Link

Note the current popular vote count:
Clinton 65 million votes 2016
DTrump 62 million votes 2016


"Our nation is totally divided! We should have a revolution in this country!"

Remember, Donald Trump told you that he is "like a really smart person"! He said he has "a very good brain".

- 'I'm, like, a really smart person' June 2015
- 'because I have a very good brain' March 2016

Looking forward to the Almanac coverage. Let's get out and honor our new president by following his instructions! Are you WITH HIM?

Appreciate the Almanac and their local coverage! Happy New Year!

Makes sense. Trump was right. Honor the man's wishes.

March.

A series of marches on inaugural day, featuring 3 million voters would be symbolic. He lost by 3 million votes after all. Yes he won. But he needs the reminder he is not popular, just look at his inane tweets.

Or is insane a better word than inane? Both seem to apply.

Honor Trump by protesting his popular vote loss. As he himself requested.

Anyone think Trump gives a snootfull about something he tweeted in the past? Hint: he doesn't.

Sorry.... what he REALLY hates is that he lost by 3 million voters. Makes his ego explode.

If we write off the "Left Coast" vote of California which is an aberration, he won the popular vote.

Jack Hickey -- "If we write off the "Left Coast" vote of California which is an aberration, he won the popular vote."

You could only wish, Hickey. Now, if there were a way to write off the former states of the Confederacy...

If we don't count 1/6th of the American economic engine (Calif) then maybe Trump wins?

Wow. If Curry doesn'the slip on Monteuenas' back sweat against the rockets and didn't get injured, then the Warriors win back to back titles!

How about: if high school drop outs weren't allowed to vote, Clinton wins.

See how that's done, jack? Work on your fox memes a bit more. That one was really lame.

It is fascinating to note the silly things that Trump gets jacked about. But then, I've never understood narcissists. How about you, neighbor?

The popular vote loss apologists are almost as bad as the new breed of Russia Sympathizers, willing to allow espionage attacks on our great country go unheeded, uninvestigated, and unpunished.

The love for Trump is a powerful drug for the weak-willed that are subservient to authoritarianism.

The Electoral College has been around since the beginning of our country. "Popular vote loss apologists?" Please. Educate yourself. NO. I didn't vote for Trump.

Describe someone who claims a vote total using only 49 states - "Popular vote loss apologist" seems to hit the nail on the head.

Apologist - "If we write off the "Left Coast" vote of California which is an aberration, he won the popular vote."

That is not just a trump apologist... that is trump abhorrent. Maybe if we only count Californians as 3/5 of a person...

The State of California should secede from the nation. That way the United States will never have another Democratic President- but look on the bright side- California will always have a Democratic President. Perhaps Hillary Clinton will move to California so she can become President of California for life. Which shouldn't be very long given her poor health. It is worth it.

Not many of the Tech companies have substantial manufacturing in California (i.e., Apple, Intel). So when the United States puts tariffs on the importation of California goods you can be sure that the rest of the companies will have all their manufacturing operations outside of California. In the short term real estate prices will rise because all the liberals in Illinois, Minnesota, New York, and New England will want to relocate to the Socialist paradise.

Secede - "So when the United States puts tariffs on the importation"

Wow - you really bought the Trump lie about 'border taxes' [Part removed. Please make point without negative characterization of other posters.] Bet you loved his tweet today about Chevy and Mexican production. Only thing? GM stock rose on his tweet because the world knows it's a joke. Everyone is in on the joke except Trump's 'low information' voters.

[Part removed.] The GOP will never dismantle NAFTA or any of the trade agreements. Their donors make too much money.

Trump: "we won with poorly educated! I love the poorly educated!" 2/16/16

Trump: "And I said to myself, if they can stay so poor for so many generations... How smart can they be? They're morons." 1999

And right in front of you, Trump uses his office to throw a NY Eve party and make $500,000 for himself by selling access to the greeting line at the party. Shouted out his Dubai crooked partner Hussein something-or-other, too.

Remarkable. Name the last POETUS who put $500,000 in his own pocket while your tax dollars paid for party security.
