When Trump says things like "I got the highest vote in the history of Texas"

[Dante]

When Trump says things like "I got the highest vote in the history of Texas," what exactly is he trying to sell to people? More people register to vote every 4 years. When discussing wins, percentage matters most. We hear about Trump getting the most votes ever in 2024. But what percentage?

Back in August, President Donald Trump appeared on CNBC’s “Squawk Box” and said of a proposed plan to redraw a state’s congressional district lines, “We have an opportunity in Texas to pick up five seats ... I got the highest vote in the history of Texas, as you probably know, and we are entitled to five more seats.”

The notion that any party or leader is “entitled” to a certain number of seats in the U.S. House is the height of arrogance. Nonetheless, Trump’s enthusiastic endorsement of mid-decade redistricting set off an increasingly brazen effort to redraw House district lines in multiple states to maximize partisan advantage — first by Republicans, then by Democrats.

Romney actually got a higher percentage of the Texas vote than Trump had.

I have never seen a human being -- male, female, adult, child -- as desperate for approval and validation as him.

NO ONE has. Not even close. Not within a million miles. No comparisons. Every day, damn near every time he communcates. Naming everything after himself. His scowl everywhere. Statues. Fake awards.

If he were my child, I would get him help.

I have…when xiden told African Americans they weren’t black unless they kissed his ring…that was by far the most desperate I’ve ever heard anyone cry for approval

And guess whar? Some Dembots believed him

Percentage of the vote counts.

More people voting, yet receiving a smaller percentage of the vote than many others makes Trump look as pathetic as he truly is.

Counts for what?

Anyway I just stated a simple fact

Trump claimed he deserved more House seats because he got a smaller vote than Romney. Try and keep up

Most of us haven't either.

The crazy thing is he gets the attenion he desperately seeks from his supporters, who practically worship the ground he walks on. Perfect example of a positive feedback loop.

I guess we’ll never know since trump didn’t clarify if he was talking about raw numbers or percentage

If that were true, we would have had President Cankles. How soon we forget.

Trump got more votes in Texas and over more than 2,000,000 nation-wide than Kneepads Kamala.

The votes that mattered were 312 to 226 anyway.

D'Oh! He was talking about the popular vote number, leaving out the fact that he did not get the greatest best, largest percentage of the Texan vote.


He's always spinning that kind of crap. HE ***** on people like you being stupid and gullible.
