Similarly, President Donald Trump was elected by the people of the USA.
A completely ignorant statement. The President is the ONLY office that is not a direct representation of the vote of the people. The electoral college votes for the President. The people have NOTHING to do with who represents them in the electoral college. Oh, sure we vote and that is a strong suggestion on how the electoral college should vote...but they don't have to...and I know there was at least one who didn't. Back when Dukakis ran, one voted for Benson/Dukakis, reversing the ticket.
And, the truth is that if the President were truly a representation of how the country voted, then Hillary would have won. I'd have to double check, but I think Gore won the popular vote as well.
If the American people do not like his actions, they can vote him out. So why are you on here bitching?
Well, this is irrelevent as he'll most likely be impeached...and you are right, I think he'll be challenged in the primary...and since the Republicans are so split, it is up in the air if he will win.

And when the PC police come for Mt. Rushmore next, should only South Dakotans be involved? A Columbus statue got decapitated in Yonkers. Only a NY issue? This is American history.
You are changing the subject from protesting a statue being removed to criminal acts.
Mr. Rushmore is part of a national park so I assume the federal government owns it. So, to change it or remove it, I suppose it would take the action of the US congress.
Vandalizing a (any) statue would be taken care of by whatever jurisdiction that statue falls under...I have no idea....this is not what we were talking about.
As far as our history: First, Columbus did not "discover" America. That has been proven false for decades. He and his crew killed and enslaved natives, forced them to convert to Christianity and brought European disease to the America's which also killed thousands. But, that is all history you don't want to remember...and is why people do not like him.
Also, about the article about "Gone With the Wind". GWtW has had controversy around it for decades due to how it depicted slavery. This is also nothing new.
If you truly believed in "representative Democracy" you would accept the election results and own up to why Hillary lost. Instead you're on here blaming Putin and calling fellow Americans "zombies".
Of course Hillary lost. I have not denied that. Yes, I call you Trump supporters zombies because you mindlessly repeat things like I blame Putin for Clinton losing and don't accept that she lost. That's all Trump BS to avoid the FACT that he has investigations that may (IMO, probably) end his Presidency. As I have said, it has NOTHING to do with Clinton.
And, BTW, your (Trump's) argument doesn't even make sense. Let's say Trump is impeached and is kicked out of office because he colluded with Putin. That does not reverse the election. It just means that Pence become President...and Hillary stays out of the oval office.
