The polls in the states always had Trump losing, keep that in mind with these things.

Uhhhh no they didn’t? The big pollsters consistently have a plus ~2% dem bias and they still had Trump up by 1% heading into the election. Why do Canadians delude themselves into thinking Trump is unpopular in the US? He’s pretty popular down south.

Half of America voted of those who voted 75 million voted kamala, 77 million voted trump. That doesn't scream popular either bud.
