How Trump made a claim that he was the biggest election winner since Reagan, which is false.

Since about 1980 the electoral college has had 538 votes. For those elections going forward, the percentage of electoral votes can be compared to each other straight up. Prior to that, since the number of electoral votes was lower, those elections can not be directly compared to the more recent ones without using a normalized total expressed as a percentage. Not the point, but figured I would point that out. So let's analyze the statement.

For the last 10 elections. The winner got:
1980 - 489 (Reagan)
1984 - 525 (Reagan - 2nd term)
1988 - 426 (George H. Bush)
1992 - 370 (Clinton)
1996 - 379 (Clinton - 2nd term)
2000 - 271 (George W. Bush)
2004 - 286 (George W. Bush - 2nd term)
2008 - 365 (Barack Obama)
2012 - 332 (Barack Obama - 2nd term)
2016 - 306 (Donald Trump)

As we can see it wasn't a true statement. Even if you limit it even further and say only Republican wins, George H. Bush received more than Trump in his win.

So, whoever gave him that information (if anyone really did) should be fired. :*)

Trump is reported to be 6'3" & 236 lbs. Every President since Reagan has been 6'2" or shorter and weighed less than 200 lbs.
 
My favorite part about that news conference was Trump trying to explain Uranium to people.

This...was the absolute best thing i ever heard. "derrrp you know what uranium is, right? Its stuff....and it does stuff....like nuclear stuff. DERRRRRRRP"

Only by Trump himself. (those numbers come only from him and his personal "doctor") And he would never exaggerate right?

Here is Trump next to QB Mark Sanchez who is a legit 6'2" (Trumps drivers license lists him as 6'2") you decide...

Yeah...

Trump may have been 6'3" once, probably only in dress shoes with a generous heel, but sorry Donald, you get shorter as you age.
 
I want to see a birth certificate. I've never met anyone that has to lie about everything before. ..he can't be human.
