View submission: Trump - The biggest intelligence/counterintelligence operation in history?
You guys are detached from reality on Reddit. Everywhere on this site you only see people complaining on trump. Yet majority of Americans voted from him. That’s how it looks for someone from abroad. You are inside one echo chamber that completely does not translate to what people really think in real world.

lol no majority of Americans did not Trump. I’m a little high while typing this so please excuse some basic math mistakes I may or may not make.
According to CNN[1], the presidential race ended with Trump getting 52.2% of the votes and Harris getting 46.7%. Which, yeah, if you are using this number alone, the majority did vote for him.
However, that percent only includes those voted. According to USNews[2], 35% of eligible voters chose to skip this election and thus 35% should be added to Harris’ 46.7% to get a full picture on how many 1) voted for Trump and 2) did not vote for Trump.
If you do the math:
Voted for Trump: 53.2% Did not vote for Trump: 81.7% (Harris + Non-Voters)
