Donald Trump is completely losing his goddamned mind over Obama winning a second term.

His 'tweet' (which I shall paraphrase) about this not being a democracy (I would assume, he meant it like "no longer a democracy), because Obama only got the popular vote and the electoral college win and THAT'S HORRIBLE is especially crazy.

Fuck him. I hope Trump dies from apoplexy any time now.

Confused - don't see where he said this, but more important - um, what else is there besides the popular and the electoral college votes...?

/is honestly confused and worried that yet another enormous cavern of ignorance resulting from all the government class assignments skipped in high school has been uncovered. Kinda like a pit full of punji stakes, but more embarrassing.

At the time of one of his tweets (which he has apparently removed), Baron von Hairpiece was bitching about the fact that, at the time, Obama didn't have the majority of the popular vote, but did have enough Electoral college votes to win.

It must be noted that Obama now does have the majority of the popular vote as well. (And no, there's nothing else besides those two metrics, really.)

Regardless, the only thing that matters is the Electoral college vote. And Trump didn't say a goddamned thing when Bush actually won in 2000 but didn't have the popular vote.
