Other than after 9/11 when we were lied to about the war, Republicans haven’t won the popular vote in my lifetime.
They’ve also never won with anyone who isn’t Trump in 20 years.
Any other incumbent president had lost the election?
He may very well qualify as the person hated by the most people worldwide in his lifetime.
Hitler
World population in 1945 - 2.3 billion
World population in 2024 - 8.2 billion
I’m talking numbers, not percentages (although Trump might still have Hitler beat there as well, thanks to the internet).
I was born decades after Hitler died and I hate him.
Wait, just saw the lifetime thing
Anyways you’d be surprised by the amount of people uncaring of American politics in India and china, or even supporting trump.
Highest unemployment during his term since the great depression
He was president during covid so no shit.
The tone-deafness of this reply is pretty ridiculous considering how badly he fucked up. He disbanded the team who was supposed to respond to this disaster, denied it was a big deal, told people not to vaccinate when he got the shot, and politicized a public health issue unnecessarily.
It is estimated hundred of thousands of less deaths would have happened if Trump had just done his job and not spent his time grandstanding and demonizing public health officials. To put that in perspective, that is more US deaths than every single conflict since WWII combined.
So yeah, when you are purposely killing hundreds of thousands of Americans while hand waving it away like it is no big deal you get to own that. The reason unemployment was so bad was because of Trump not COVID.
To top it off, the Biden administration turned it all around and showed us how much of a dysfunctional shit show the previous administration was. To this day places that drank the Trump Kool aid still have higher deaths rates.
I just don’t get this. Does the fact that Biden pulled off 4 months before election mean he was never a candidate? 🤔 With that logic, if Trump quits now he is again forgiven as the oldest one? So, whole this news would be bullshit?
Nope, Trump is his parties verified candidate which happens at the convention. Dems have not had their convention yet so Biden was not officially the candidate. Semantics, yes but technically true.
Thanks 4 the info, now I get it 😆 American poliitics r beautiful 🤯
Hold my beer.
Jajajajaja “laughs in Argentina Cristina Ladrona de Kirschner”
OLDEST candidate, rofl!
Age doesn’t matter. Mental cognition does.
Convicted criminal
Yeah, by the deep state using the rigged courts.
Worst deficit
Yeah, maybe. But he freed up the economy by approving a record number of drilling contracts, and basically telling the world “America is open for business.” Had this modus operandi continued, we could have even prospered our way out of the negative consequences of the spending.
Twice impeached
Again, by the deep state using the radicals in congress. Crazy people hate you? What an accolade that is.
Hated by most Americans
Let’s see, Obama got 69M votes in 2008. Trump got 74M votes in 2020. Saying “most hated” really misses the point here.
Lost the popular vote
On paper…
Isn’t biden older though?
Biden stepped down before getting the official nomination. Trump was nominated by his party last week. That makes Trump officially the oldest candidate nominated by a political party.
He’s not a candidate in this election, and Trump is older now than Biden was during the last election.
For those who struggle with math, that means that Biden is less than 4 years older than trump. The people criticizing Biden’s age and not trump’s as well never actually gave a shit about Biden’s age. Look forward to those same people making up bullshit reasons that Harris is less capable than trump. They know they’re full of shit, but it’s not about making sense, it’s about trying to obfuscate what’s pretty clear so that independents and undecideds give up, get frustrated, get confused, and/or get demotivated so that they either stay home or vote 3rd party. There are only two viable parties in this bullshit first past the post system; one of them wants Project 2025 and one of them doesn’t. Look at bullet points for what that is and then get your ass to the polls. It’s that simple. The only people trying to convince you that it’s not that simple are the ones who don’t want you to look at those bullet points because it’s pretty obvious whether most people are for or against that playbook. It’s damning.
First of all vote.
Second of all, I’m sick of this fall in line and do what we say bullshit.
Fuck you!
I will do what I want and if it happens to fall in line with what you tell me to then you’re lucky I’m even still going to do it.
Fucking authoritarian bullshit is supposed to be on their side
“Hey, the other guys are fascist, so if you don’t like fascism, you probably should vote against them”
REEEE YOU’RE A FASCIST FOR EVEN MENTIONING THAT MAYBE PEOPLE SHOULD VOTE A CERTAIN WAY
Still says ever, although op points out that he wasn’t officially nominated, but hell I’m a candidate for president if I say so because I have said i was and I meet the minimum requirements
Yes but he backed out and it says oldest candidate.
Ever
Right, and for this election cycle Biden won’t be a candidate but Trump will. Trump is now an older candidate than Biden was when he was a candidate.
So, as I understand with all these comments, they’re only candidates if they appear on the ballot on election day? Regardless if they ran and then dropped out?
They are candidates for president when they are nominated by their party. Trump was last week, Biden never was this election cycle.
this one does require a “small” amount of “critical thinking”
How was your 48-hour nap?
