‘Our first crybaby President’: Internet hammers Trump after he again whines about losing popular vote

Has any presidential election winner ever complained as much about his victory as President-elect Donald Trump has?

Trump took to Twitter on Wednesday to once again rail against people who pointed out that he lost the popular vote to Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton by nearly 3 million votes.

Campaigning to win the Electoral College is much more difficult & sophisticated than the popular vote. Hillary focused on the wrong states!

I have not heard any of the pundits or commentators discussing the fact that I spent FAR LESS MONEY on the win than Hillary on the loss!

Since it seems that Trump still feels insecure that 54% of voters in the 2016 election picked a different candidate, the internet wasted no time rubbing salt in his wounds by mocking his popular vote loss to Clinton — and by noting that his 43% favorable rating is by far the lowest for any incoming president in recorded history. Some choice ridicule of Trump’s latest outburst follows below.
