Haha, I don't think that is what is happening there lol. Not sure where you got that quote, but without some data to back it up I don't think it is true. I can think of a good number of great leaders that were also very well liked. I can think of a lot of really shitty leaders who were largely hated by their People
Trump barely even did his job when he was president. He basically just permanently campaigned and created a hype machine to make his base stay riled up. He did a really good job at that. Meanwhile, he implemented policy after policy that really damages America and the American people (except for the few ultra-wealthy such as himself and his friends/peers up on cloud 9).
Liberals everywhere couldn't believe it when he got elected in 2016. Once again he lost the popular vote, but scraped by via an electoral college win. But the libs didn't go try to overthrow the fucking government because of it! They didn't plant bombs around DC because of it!! Yes, the majority of people there were wandering around aimlessly like sightseers, but that does not detract from the fact that a good number of them had violence on their minds.
Trump lost the popular vote last time, is it really so crazy to think that he would lose the popular vote
again in 2020, but just also lose the electoral college this time too? All Trump did was say for months on end, "If I don't win, they cheated," and he said it so many times his base started to believe him simply due to the repetition. Well, that's not how it works in real life. That is a bullshit statement and it is simply false. He did a bad job as president and then he lost the election fair and square, despite significant efforts to
suppress liberal and urban voters across the country. Honestly, the GOP played dirtier than the dems did (as usual). Voter suppression, all that bullshit with the mail sorting machines, trying to have legitimate ballots thrown out.
But yes, on top of being a terrible leader (really not a leader at all, just an asshole who managed to get in charge) trump's personality is also deplorable. There are currently
26 women who have sexual assault allegations against him. Trump literally stole money from his campaign donors (wouldn't be the first time he did that too, did you see he just pardoned Steve Bannon?). He has an ego more fragile than a baby. All that on top of really not ever actually doing the job he was supposed to do as president. It's no wonder he lost the election. He is a cheating, dirty, lying, selfish piece of human garbage.
