43 days after winning election, Trump still touchy about losing popular vote
Forty-three days after winning the election and 29 days before his inauguration, President-elect Donald Trump is still obsessing over the fact that he lost the popular vote to Hillary Clinton. In a series of tweets early Wednesday, Trump claimed he would have campaigned “differently” had he not been focused on amassing the 270 electoral votes needed to clinch the presidency — and that he could’ve won the popular vote if he wanted to. “Campaigning to win the Electoral College is much more difficult & sophisticated than the popular vote,” Trump tweeted.
