No, I don't think anyone seriously doubts whether or not Trump actually won the elections after which he was appointed president.

The same however is not true of Maduro, where "Maduro did not actually get sufficient votes to win the latest election" is a pretty commonly held view backed by evidence. You might reasonably doubt the veracity of that evidence, but directly comparing Maduro's position with that of Trump is simply ridiculous.

That's what I said. Yes it's a fact and not merely a commonly held view that Trump's campaign had Russian actors, but reasonable people still consider him President, and not a puppet placed by Putin.

Yes, because that in no way invalidates the election results.

I really don't see how this is in any way comparable or relevant.

Trump being a puppet placed by Putin would not invalidate his presidency.
