    lost two straight elections

    ?

    He only lost one. Unless this is some veiled commentary about the illegitimacy of the electoral college

      2016 election by popular vote:

      Trump - 62,984,828 Clinton - 65,853,514

      Trump won the birth lottery. Ever since then he’s been a big fat loser.

        Then say he lost the vote. He very evidently won the election.

      Looks like yeah it’s EC stuff. I agree that the Electoral College seems antiquated and disenfranchises voters, but it is the law and fucking Trump was our President for 4 long years.
