The second one... I ment the elections for his first term.

For me as a German it is history repeating... and every day my opinion that the human population should be reduced by 90%. We are the greatest danger to all life on this planet.

    I think at least fivethirtyeight predicted a tossup heavily favoring HRC, who did actually win the popular vote.

    Ah, thank you very much. You know, we all know US-ians love their appreviations, but without the right context they are just confusing.

    I just figured it would be obvious in the context of "person who won the 2016 US presidential popular vote" mb.

    Somehow it is annoying for a lot people when appreviations are used and people expect to know the context.

    Would you know the Context when I talk about FJS buying tanks that not even the manufacturer liked, or the planes that became known as "the widow maker"

    No, because we're used to get full names... I didn't even know Hillary Clinton has a middle name. In german media she's always just Hillary Clinton.

    And I think this is some US defaultism the world shakes it's head over.
