18. Trump? A loser?

Let's just take a look at that, shall we?

He won the election in 2016 because of an arcane set of rules in our Constitution designed to thwart the will of the people, and give inordinate power to a popular vote loser. Hmmm. Doesn't sound so triumphant when it's put that way. Anyway, Trump spent four years bragging about his electoral college total, which he continually got wrong, claiming 306 votes when he only got 304. Probably not the first time he's tried to convince people that 4 was really 6.

Anywho, in 2020, he ran for re-election and lost by an even bigger popular vote margin. This time, the winner actually did get 306 electoral college votes, which Trump has spent nine months trying to minimize and discount. Hmm, not just a loser but a sore loser.
