Trump’s wrong that we live in a “democracy.” We live in a republic which utilises democratic institutions such as voting.

Trump’s right, however, in that the “rules” are largely there to just game the system to the establishment’s favour. They don’t screw him, specifically - they’re there to endemically screw any outsider who would present a challenge to the status quo.

No, they're there specifically to keep only him out of power. Only him. It's a conspiracy—what about this do you not get?

If we lived in a Democracy, Algore would have been President.

Remember that, wasn't so long ago.

Are you saying since Algore got more votes, he should have been President?

...that's what Trump is saying about himself now.

The rules have been in place for almost a year, why not whine about them back then?
