Because there's nothing fake about Trump. It's not like he vastly overstated his fortune, vastly understated how much money his dad gave him, and hid his tax returns so no one could see the truth of either of those two things [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

And I'm sure his bizarre behavior towards Russia is completely genuine [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Oh, and despite virtually everyone around him being found guilty of crimes, I'm sure he hasn't done anything wrong [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I mean, the guy was a reality TV show star for fuck's sake: that's like the definition of fake.

the truth of Trump is in that he will bluster any bluster and spit any lie to advance an agenda which I'm sure is cool, cause he's clearly a cool ass dude

Helsinki? Totally cool and good. Nope not weird at all.
If you are still with termp after that, I don't know what to tell you besides that you are putting party over country.

Somehow two state districts managed to vote in Anti-American female muslims.

One even went so far as to drape a Palestinian flag around her during her victory speech.

The other one secretly married her brother in 2009.

GG libtards, one step towards the dismantling of true Americans.

Calling Trump a fascist is being disrespectful to what humans have been through and at the same time making yourself seem mentally impaired

I’m not sure how having the house flipped is a trump victory. I would say half Dem victory/half successful conservative defense. There were some crazy close races that the reds were able to fend off.

The Democrats performed worse than expected but they took the House.

You can explain how that benefits anyone until the cows come home.

Getting something is better than nothing, no? Weird rationale. I’m hearing similar rhetoric on conservative radio.. but that’s nothing new.

didn't hit landslide levels, and indeed performed worse than anticipated, even after the most enormous, unified, coordinated, and extreme 2-year smear campaign of a sitting President in history. It's a clear Trump victory

it is going to be 8 years

Sure, it's deeper than that though.

Historically the party in the White House loses badly in midterms on the first term, especially when a president’s job-approval rating is below 50% as it is now with Trump.

The president’s party has lost an average of 37 seats since the end of World War Two.

You can see here, last night's performance was pretty average to probably above average:

You can see holding onto both house and senate are incredibly rare.

Also, he did quite well despite the media running propaganda 24/7 and claiming he's absolutely hated by everyone.

The midterms proved that just isn't true.
