2 of Trump's Tweets About Democracy Are Coming Back to Haunt Him
Since Donald Trump was elected president on Tuesday, people are resurfacing two of his tweets about the 2012 election results. In the first, Trump tweeted how the electoral college was a "disaster for democracy."
The electoral college is a disaster for a democracy.

This election is a total sham and a travesty. We are not a democracy!

In the second, he elaborated on his criticism of the electoral college and called it a "total sham." Rather ironically, the electoral college is one of the main reasons he was elected. Hillary Clinton won the popular vote, so yes, Mr. Trump, many people agree with you regarding the electoral college process.
