Trump only got 49.9% of the vote. He has never been popular,

Idk about you, but 49.9% of the vote sounds very popular to me.

Hell 10% sounds popular.

I don't think the issue is his popularity. He's definitely popular

    Far be it from me to argue against the US being a backwards shithole racist country, because it obviously is and death to Amerikkka, but I don't like the narrative that he had some kind of mandate to govern because he is so popular. He really doesn't. He's started without a majority and it's been down hill ever since.

    By the by, that's just of the people who bothered to vote. If we counted non-voters, he got 32%
