Some other stats to counter the assertion that 47% of Americans voted for him....

47% of the turnout voted for him
32% of eligible voters voted for him
23% of Americans voted for him

Because of his appalling behaviour ,and for just being him, hopefully none of us will ever have to see or hear about him ever again. That’s good isn’t it??
