I'm not sure it's fair to judge a nation of 325 million people by Donald Trump.

Why not? Americans collectively picked him as their representative.


Wasn't it only around a 54.7% turnout? And didn't Trump win marginally fewer popular votes than Clinton? Come on, seems a tad unfair to judge 81% of Americans harshly on that basis.


Trump lost the popular vote but won the electoral by a large margin. That's kind of expected considering California and New York are massive Dem strongholds though. I suspect that Republicans will not win the popular vote for a long time just because of those two cities.

Also. Seriously, there is no comparison to what Ghengis Khan did. Some of his achievements include...

1) Killing off 11% of the world population at the time.

2) Unleashing the Black Death upon Europe.

3) Raping so many woman that a notable percentage of the world population (8% of Asians and 0.5% of the world population) are his own descendants.

4) Pillaging the Middle East SO hard that it's still suffering the impact of his deeds today.

5) Creating pyramids of skulls MULTIPLE times.

6) Destroying so many books that 'the rivers ran black with ink'.

And that's just some the notable stuff. Basically, in order to even start to compare, Trump would need to nuke an entire nation. Not just a city or a tiny one like Iceland, but something on-par with France in order to be in the same league of evil.

In terms of 'evil people' he's not in the top ten by a longshot where he's got people like Khan, the Kim dynasty, Stalin, Hitler, and so-forth to compete against. He's probably not even in the top 100 due simply to the sheer number of mass murderers, psychopaths, and the like humanity has produced over it's several thousand years of existence.

My theory is that a lot of Alt-leftists don't realize that the world doesn't revolve around America and it's president (even if they are among the most important, arguably the most important, players), slept through history class, and thinks that people like Hitler didn't actually exist but are rather myths made up to have a bad guy for Captain America to punch in the comics.
