Yeah. No idea how anyone can still be delusional enough to think he's a good leader when it's clear he's a total clown. I still can't believe there were enough backwards people to vote for him but then he had the full support of the Electoral College as you mentioned who put him in office even though he didn't win the popularity vote. There should be some way to get rid of the Electoral College 'cause it should be up to the people to decide who they want to have as their President just like it is here in Australia when we have Federal Elections and it is not that surprising so many people don't vote in America 'cause the Electoral College make your vote mean nothing. How long has it been this way and did the Electoral College always exist or was created later? I don't get the purpose of an electoral college either. Here in the Philippines the people's votes determine who will be president. I don't always agree with the choices, but at least the people elected the person they want, for better or worse.

The Founding Fathers and the subsequent governments of the United States didn't trust the people with electing the president, so they created a safety net to prevent this from happening.
