    Never again America.

    All your negotiation power across the world, gone, because of one Orange person.

    And not because he secretly took power, because you elected him, twice.

      He won the popular vote the second time around, not the first.

      The electoral college is deeply undemocratic.

      Strong argument the States are neither democratic, nor republic; they're a plutocracy. Exacerbated by Citizens United.

        Who cares? It shouldn't even have been close. The fact that enough of the country supports him that he could even get within 2.1% of the popular vote in 2016 is enough to show how morally rotten the whole nation is. The US empire deserves to collapse

          Exactly, Trump isn't the cause, it's the result.

          The American dream personified.
