He’s a good guy, Justin. He said, ‘No, no, we have no trade deficit with you, we have none. Donald, please,’ ” Trump said, mimicking Trudeau, according to audio obtained by The Washington Post. “Nice guy, good-looking guy, comes in — ‘Donald, we have no trade deficit.’ He’s very proud because everybody else, you know, we’re getting killed. “... So, he’s proud. I said, ‘Wrong, Justin, you do.’ I didn’t even know. ... I had no idea. I just said, ‘You’re wrong.’ You know why? Because we’re so stupid. … And I thought they were smart. I said, ‘You’re wrong, Justin.’ He said, ‘Nope, we have no trade deficit.’ I said, ‘Well, in that case, I feel differently,’ I said, ‘but I don’t believe it.’ I sent one of our guys out, his guy, my guy, they went out, I said, ‘Check, because I can’t believe it.’ ‘Well, sir, you’re actually right. We have no deficit, but that doesn’t include energy and timber. … And when you do, we lose $17 billion a year.’ It’s incredible.” The Office of the United States Trade Representative says the United States has a trade surplus with Canada. Bonus Trump moment “It’s the bowling ball test. They take a bowling ball from 20 feet up in the air and drop it on the hood of the car,” Trump said of Japan. “If the hood dents, the car doesn’t qualify. It’s horrible,” he said. It was unclear what he was talking about. Kind Regards, Darmik reportquote

It's been how the election works since the late 1700s, I believe. You can't claim it as a technicality when throughout the entire election everyone involved, including Clinton, was aware that what she needed to get to win was an electorial majority, not a majority of votes.

I don't actually know how the electoral college works per se, so I see it as a technicality. I'm happy to be pointed towards something that explains how the hell it can sway a major election like it did though. My understanding is that elections are to put people in the electoral college, who in turn vote for a president. It dates back to when it was wildly impractical for American citizens to vote directly for a president, necessitating the use of representatives. Posted with GameRaven 3.4 reportquote
