See he didn’t even win the most votes which usually is the marker for a democratically elected president in most countries. He won by the system, not the people.

The same would have applied to Obama, Clinton and all other American presidents. The system is the system that apples to all - so your point is pointless!

Clinton won the most votes... Ergo they had a mandate George Bush didn’t the first time and I’d have argued then he shouldn’t have gone to Iraq because of it Read up on your facts next time |

Don’t you dare tell me what you think I meant.
I clearly said trump didn’t win the most votes and the system elected him... therefore he was undemocratically elected |

it’s a mad, mad world

like Underscore said, it means you shouldn’t exactly be describing him as democratically elected. Hillary Clinton won the popular vote. Donald Trump lost but because of the ridiculous electoral college thing they have over there, Trump still won.

Trump was democratically elected because it was the democratic system that all parties agreed to abide by

Regardless it is the system - he won - people really need to get over it. The same people are sulking about Trump and Brexit because the votes didn’t go their way - diddums!

No... democracy is getting the most votes and winning. That’s the whole point of a democracy otherwise it’s an autocracy...
