    In a democratic country that would indeed be the result, but he became president while the majority of American voters didn’t vote for him in 2016.

    So that is no guarentee at all, because the US political system is archaic and rotten to the core.

      Yes, sure. But Biden won in the end, didn’t he? If what you said were true (though I agree with you to an extent), Trump would be president right now. The GOP had the majority in both the Senate and the House. And there you go. The people voted and Trump lost. So the system, flaws and all, can work if the American people really want it to work.

      I think Trump needed to happen to wake up the majority of Americans. We got waaaay too complacent back in 2015/2106, thinking that Clinton was a sure score.
