    Other than after 9/11 when we were lied to about the war, Republicans haven’t won the popular vote in my lifetime.

        The tone-deafness of this reply is pretty ridiculous considering how badly he fucked up. He disbanded the team who was supposed to respond to this disaster, denied it was a big deal, told people not to vaccinate when he got the shot, and politicized a public health issue unnecessarily.

        It is estimated hundred of thousands of less deaths would have happened if Trump had just done his job and not spent his time grandstanding and demonizing public health officials. To put that in perspective, that is more US deaths than every single conflict since WWII combined.

        So yeah, when you are purposely killing hundreds of thousands of Americans while hand waving it away like it is no big deal you get to own that. The reason unemployment was so bad was because of Trump not COVID.

        To top it off, the Biden administration turned it all around and showed us how much of a dysfunctional shit show the previous administration was. To this day places that drank the Trump Kool aid still have higher deaths rates.

        World population in 1945 - 2.3 billion

        World population in 2024 - 8.2 billion

        I’m talking numbers, not percentages (although Trump might still have Hitler beat there as well, thanks to the internet).

          I was born decades after Hitler died and I hate him.

          Wait, just saw the lifetime thing

          Anyways you’d be surprised by the amount of people uncaring of American politics in India and china, or even supporting trump.

    I just don’t get this. Does the fact that Biden pulled off 4 months before election mean he was never a candidate? 🤔 With that logic, if Trump quits now he is again forgiven as the oldest one? So, whole this news would be bullshit?

      Nope, Trump is his parties verified candidate which happens at the convention. Dems have not had their convention yet so Biden was not officially the candidate. Semantics, yes but technically true.

    OLDEST candidate, rofl!

    Age doesn’t matter. Mental cognition does.

    Convicted criminal

    Yeah, by the deep state using the rigged courts.

    Worst deficit

    Yeah, maybe. But he freed up the economy by approving a record number of drilling contracts, and basically telling the world “America is open for business.” Had this modus operandi continued, we could have even prospered our way out of the negative consequences of the spending.

    Twice impeached

    Again, by the deep state using the radicals in congress. Crazy people hate you? What an accolade that is.

    Hated by most Americans

    Let’s see, Obama got 69M votes in 2008. Trump got 74M votes in 2020. Saying “most hated” really misses the point here.

    Lost the popular vote

    On paper…
