If you go look at the data and consider that ~34% of people didn’t vote, somewhere around ~35% of people voted for trump, and a little less than that voted for harris.
This whole notion where “half the country voted for this guy!” Is a tired and inaccurate trope.
The idea that the people who don't go to the polls and cast ballots don't vote is not true. They have chosed to have what the others choose. That is a choice and they made it, just like those that cast a preference via ballot.
Put another way, half the country decided that they would be better off being governed by a dimwit who could be outwitted by a dog, whether they voted for him or not.
If you don't vote, you forfeit your vote. So yes, over half of the country voted for him, only those who are active enough citizens to get off of the couch count. 34% Trump, 35% FORFEIT, 31% Harris, we don't care about the forfeits. Democracy is about the active citizens.
Or maybe just the less of 2 evils. An intelligent asshat or non asshat that was an imbecile. It was time for a change.
There are so many things I don’t like about him but some of his policies such as immigration / border enforcement, natural resource utilization, federal workforce reduction, regulatory reduction and tariffs are absolutely legit imho and will take time to have an affect.

I like your implication that Trump is not an ass hat here instead of the biggest asshole ever elected to office

For most administrations yea, since they actually try to keep the government running and use a lighter touch, but since this guy took a sledgehammer to everything we’re already feeling the effects, unless you believe the inflation report that’s missing tons of data produced by people who replaced the leaders that gave him numbers he didn’t like previously
Hahahaha amazing. Yeah dude asks anyone, everything is going super well. Really hope you bought a ton of Trump coins or bibles or whatever dumb shit he’s selling these days
