I hold voters responsible for the votes they make. An uncomfortable concept these days, I know, but thats how I do. If i do like this with the Germans, or the British or the EU fanboys, why should I do different with Trumpomericans and other US voters?
Also, Trump has
not "half the people" in support. Not even half of all those who voted.
Clinton got more votes,
while only 123 million poeple voted in fact o those 223 million who were eligible to vote (74% of total population was eligible to vote, turnout rate on basis of those eligible to vote: 39%). Clinton got 25.6% of all the eligible voters' votes and Trump got 25.5%. Just 59 million people voted for Trump, at a total population of 313 million.
Thats means just 19% of the total US population has voted for Trump. - Or only 40% of the claimed number of yours ("half the people"). Every fifth American only voted actively for Trump.
P.S. I spoiled the math in an earlier version of this post. Corrected now.
