So, there's this...GWB and Bill Clinton are literally a month and a half apart in age...but Bill looks 20 years older. Here's GWB:  And here's Bubba:  Hard living will do that to you... And, by the way, Trump is a month older than W, and 2 months older than Bubba...and he just got elected president. Three presidents born in 1946 is a record, one that may never be broken. |

For what reason would Trump be ousted? You want a specific answer or a general one?  Both are "stupidity" I don't know what people want out of elected officials. They are all flawed people. America has had presidents who were corrupt, bigoted, mysoginistic, adulterers, and incompetent. Why should 2016 be any different? |

I am trying to wrap my head around this stupidity that is now blown out of proportion. The guy isn't even in office yet. It's like a McDonalds when someone leaks there is going to be a new manager. |

I am trying to put it in perspective, like, there is an example in history where this type of situation arose and people overcame it in a manner that was befitting a gold star for humanity. Failing so far. The people protesting.... it looks to me like it's another excuse to miss work/school. It looks like millennials, who have a TERRIBLE reputation for being spoiled brats/lazy as already, trying to take up a cause they 1) Have NO idea what they are talking about and 2) Didn't vote in the first place. If America doesn't become insular because of Trump, it will be isolated for sheer stupidity by everyone else eventually anyways. |

So the reality is, only 20% of Americans voted for Trump This is % of "eligible" voters. Usually about 40-45% of eligible voters don't vote, and the Electoral College is a big factor in this. So, as you can see the totals between the two parties are almost minuscule. Either side acting like they have a mandate is fantasy.  |

So the reality is, only 20% of Americans voted for Trump Of course. Because only 66% of Americans are eligible to vote (the rest are children) and only 60% of them are actually registered to vote. Of those 60%, only 62% (37% of the entire population) voted for president. So, yes, only 20% voted for Trump, but only 20% voted for Hillary. |

AH Thanks for clearing that up, guys. It's complicated. And, quite frankly, most Americans don't have the slightest clue how it works. |

He does have a distinction that no other president has ever had - he's the first internet troll ever elected. |
