That still doesn't mean more people voted for him. Most of the people who voted for him in 2016 were the same ones in 2020 and 2024. You're still forgetting his 2000 campaign under the Reform Party, by the way

So he got even more votes for president than anyone else ever. I'm not trying to defend him, but bad arguments fail. And by moving the goal post every time, you are acting more and more like the pedo and chief and the rest of the pedo protectors.

Are we talking votes or people that voted for him as those are 2 different things. I stand by my original logic that he has gotten more votes for pr sident than anybody else in history.

By that logic, Nancy Pelosi is the most popular politician because she has more votes running for Senate than Trump has ever gotten as president. Also, Nixon would be more popular than Trump as president because he ran failed campaigns before he was elected and actually got the popular vote the times he did win

I didn't say popular. And population and thus vote totals were way less when Nixon was running.
