You refuse to appreciate the context of his comment. Trump is a minority leader in the context of the popular vote. That's just by definition.

The reason we're not talking about electoral votes is because the discussion revolves around how things would change if we went with the popular vote.

Yes, he got more electoral votes. Many would argue this is a broken system which has fucked our country for the second time in 3 presidents.

Doesn't that speak more to how divided we are as a country, not some fundamental flaw in the system?
