Young Americans: Most see Trump as illegitimate president
MSN AP ^ | March 18, 2017

WASHINGTON — Jermaine Anderson keeps going back to the same memory of Donald Trump, then a candidate for president of the United States, referring to some Mexican immigrants as rapists and murderers. "You can't be saying that (if) you're the president," says Anderson, a 21-year-old student from Coconut Creek, Florida. That Trump is undeniably the nation's 45th president doesn't sit easily with young Americans like Anderson who are the nation's increasingly diverse electorate of the future, according to a new poll. A majority of young adults — 57 percent — see Trump's presidency as illegitimate, including about three-quarters of blacks and large majorities of Latinos and Asians, the GenForward poll found.

GenForward is a poll of adults age 18 to 30 conducted by the Black Youth Project at the University of Chicago with the Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research.

if accurate, what per cent of those polled voted? But I think the poll was taken to prove a conclusion.

It’s not just Trump that demo is sour on. They believe the whole system is irreparably broken.

My kids and grandkids and most of their friends all love President Trump. I guess they were not polled.

Anybody who says he’s not a legitimate president does not understand how presidents are elected.

You can say you wish he didn’t win, you wish Hillary won, etc but you can’t say he’s an illegitimate president.

What I mean is that he was duly elected under our system of elections, chosen by the electoral college, made up of electors chosen by voters in each state.

People can say they don’t like the outcome, but where is the lack of legitimacy or legality in any of this?????

People who say this show their own ignorance.

I’d post the photo here if it wasn’t Getty Images. Perfect set of millennial idiots hooked on their iPhones and busy exchanging liberal lies.

Yeah. I’m sure this bunch took great pains to conduct a fair, unbiased, and scientific poll. [/s]

The left are fascists and ignorant children who insist on their way and beat up and destroy those they hate, they are minions of evil and getting worse as the schools brainwash them into little global socialists and parents are excluded from the new world order.

The money statement lies in the very last sentence of the article you posted. Trump lost the Millennial vote as a whole but he won white Millennials. It's mostly minority Millennials who are acting like crybabies here.

Most of these young idiots learn their politics from their parents. If you see a young kid saying he is not my president rest assured that his or her parents are the same way

Yeah, because nobody exhibits proper speaking etiquette than young black males.

Looks like the Progressives (nee Communists) have succeeded in having the ignorant reach critical mass ...

Germaine, when you go to sleep at night, remember President Trump is watching you!

A special good night to Snow Flakes across America. Sleep well! President Trump will be there, watching over you!

Most of what they refer to as”Young Americans” should thank President Trump. He has given them a 4 year and hopefully 8 year lease on life. Because when he goes, things will head south in a hurry. Then the snowflakes as they are called will be reduced t living by their wits and hands. And they will be able to do neither. They will die off so fast that they will have use bulldozers to bury them. Funeral homes will not be able to handle the volume.

Not like they used to be! As a 48-year old Petty Officer in the Navy, it is my unscientific observation that today's young people are more sober than ever, certainly more sober than my friends and I were 25 years ago.
