Trump has lost popular vote by greater margin than any US President in history

[Bill USA]

President-elect is now 2.8 million votes behind Hillary Clinton - five times more than the second biggest deficit

Donald Trump lost the popular vote in last month’s US presidential election by a bigger margin than any other US president in history.

The Republican is currently trailing Democrat rival Hillary Clinton by 2.8 million votes as the last remaining postal ballots are counted – despite him winning the November 8 election because of the Electoral College system.

That deficit is more than five times bigger than the 544,000 by which George W. Bush lost to Al Gore in 2000 - the second biggest popular vote deficit in history for a candidate who has still gone on to become President.

Only five US presidents in history have been elected despite losing the popular vote: John Quincy Adams in 1824, Rutherford Hayes in 1876, Benjamin Harrison in 1888, George W. Bush in 2000 and Donald Trump this November.

1. He's not gonna like that.

Expect a tweet in the wee hours.

2. Yeah, and he will still be sworn in on January 2Oth.

Face it, we're fucked no matter what to popular vote says.

3. And yet Drumpf and Priebus keep saying Don the Con won in a historic landslide

based on the Electoral College.

Drumpf had 306 EC votes. Obama got 332 in 2012 and 365 in 2008. Ronnie Reagan set the standard for EC landslides when he garnered 525 EC votes in 1984.

So shuddup Trump and Priebus!

4. That just makes it hurt that much more

5. Adams was the worst

He lost the electoral vote and popular vote badly and still won.

[Crunchy Frog]

8. Yes, but that was a 4 way race.

6. Not counting people who were suppressed!

7. The minority president

I'll keep calling Vladimir Trump by that title for the next four years. Not to mention "The ambassador from Russia".
