The 51% of voters that voted for him… (correction: 49.8%)

> I hear that it is the same people who voted Donald last time who voted Donald again this time. No others voted for him.

This is wrong. There were more republican voters this time around than last time.

> The issue seems to be that many people who are not trumpists did not vote at all. Maybe i'm wrong, but it seems that if everyone who could vote actually did vote, then Donald would have lost.

This is a constant issue in the US. Low voter turnout causes seemingly unpopular candidates to win.

Go out and vote, people. Please.

> So ... maybe he won, but i hardly think he represents the majority is US citizens.

Never said it did. But if you don’t voice your opinion when it matters, then your opinion literally doesn’t count.

So, the American people voted for trump and this administration. Either through their vote or their inaction.

Nitpick: 49.8%
