So what's the deal here...? Was he talking bout the massive difference in EC votes between he and Rotten... ?
306 - 232 = 74
???
...or does the media not get that?
Running the US government is not like being a contestant on Alex Trebek’s Jeopardy. I hope the President remembers that he is being graded on the following:
1. Faithfully executing the laws
2. Preserving, protecting, and defending the Constitution
Oh sigh how the Media will have a firestorm with this as they do on all issues Trump-related. It’s certainly a good thing we don’t have that former Arkansas Attorney General (who raped Juanita & thus since he was responsible for prosecuting such crimes he didn’t do so) running the First Lady’s office.
I understood him to say that as a republican he received more EC votes than any other republican since RR.
Wow, and this is all the Hill got out of this? Mindless bunch of fools at the Hill.
IIRC, Obama's big quote was..."I won!!"
This is the type of useless reporting that passes for journalism these days! Trump scored the most electoral votes of any Republican presidential nominee since 1988 (George H. W. Bush received 426 electoral votes).
So technically, his statement was incorrect. Big deal.
OMFG
This is EXACTLY what President Trump was talking about, when it comes to the duplicity of the 'news' media.
Here's MY take on the presser: "MAGNIFICENT! DJT at the Press Conference"
Trump supporters take him seriously but not literally.
Trump enemies take him literally but not seriously. They are crapping their pants that he is busy trying to keep his campaign promises.

Don’t mean to pick at nits here but the reality is his margin of victory ranks 46th out of 58 elections.
Why is this important? Why can’t the media deal with the important issues the US is facing?
Hilary claimed to be female and you never complained about that.
Obama exceeded that twice. I haven’t looked back any further.
And, yes, it’s stupid nonsense for Trump to claim this.
Unless he’s just trying to get the press to look at a shiny object while he does something real.
Trump got the biggest upset win in histroy in the United States. He had no chance, thus he got the biggest win. They can twist and turn everything on its head, but 306 in 85 more than projected at best!
Trump did get the largest Republican Electoral Collage margin win since Reagan.
Folks, Reagan held office until January 20th, 1989.
The Bush election was held in November 1988.
It is also true that Bush won the most electoral votes since Reagan’s last election.
It is also true that Bush couldn’t have won his election by anything close to the margin he did in November of 1988, if it hadn’t been for him riding in on Reagan’s coat-tails.
Let’s recall what took place in 1992. Bush couldn’t beat a known adulterer who was suspected of many crimes in Arkansas. That was Bush trying to beat an opponent on his own. It just didn’t fly, even against the likes of Clinton.
Trump is technically correct in that he had the largest ECV since Reagan.
Those who wish to trash him, have at it. You’ll be wrong.
Bait for the O. Lmao
What Trump likely was told about his his ELECTORAL win was that it was the largest by a REPUBLICAN going back to 1988.
GHWB 426
GWB 271
GWB 286
DJT 306
If he references it again all he should say is:
“I had the biggest ELECTORAL victory for a Republican in nearly 30 years. That is what I was told.”
Did they ever a bid deal about Obozo flubbing anything? 57 States, pronouncing “corpsman,” going to the white house window instead of the door...etc.
M A Y B E...and I’m just spitballing here...MAYBE he meant any REPUBLICAN since Reagan.
I thought it was hilarious! He got the MSM to actually check some facts. Maybe they could do that more often. You know, stuff like “if you like your doctor - you can keep your doctor” or “57 states”. Fact finding can be fun!
He’s playing them. Now the press is discussing Trumps EC margin (a positive)and not the so-called “popular vote”
Trump effort at demonstrating how easy it is to change the topic du’jour? LOL.
