Trump won because Democrats ran such an unpopular candidate that she could only manage to win her safe Democrat states. But you are correct, the United States isn't a direct democracy, you learn that, and why sometime early on in highschool.
"Trump lost the popular vote,that's not democracy."
You don't seem to understand anything about how politics and voting works. Either actually do some research about how the world works outside of your home being paid for by your parents, or maybe just be less vocal with your ineptness.
trump won the election
thats called a republic
US is not now, nor ever was a democracy
****, didn't know internet explorer was that slow.
Electoral college, liberal.
Democrats didn't get off their fat butts and VOTE... And then you had all kinds of democratic morons repeating the repubican lies about Hillary being crooked!!! Even a skank like Susan Saranden said this on the Colbert Show! No evidence - the phucking lying republicans just said it enough times. 30 long, dreary years of lies about the Clintons. Republican lies really do work!
It's a horrible, horrible disaster for the country to have TrumpTreason anywhere near those launch codes. And that might kill a lot of people before this is over........ TrumpTreason and his butt-boy Tillerson are already working to create their first atomic war in Korea.
Because we live in a republic not a democracy you bloody dumbass.
The U.S. Isn't a democracy!
ALL states have equal skin in the election; Electoral College.
BOO, HOO, HOO!

Hillary felt it was her turn to be. coronated, but 8 years of Obama had America sick of the LEFT.
Trump won because Hillary lied.
You know, I learned about the electoral college in elementary school.
I just want to be very sensitive and kind in this answer and say BWAHAHAHAHAHA, TRUMP WON AND IS PRESIDENT BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHA HAhaheheehawhee
Trump won with lies that are now catching up to him.
maybe they should change the name to "electoral middle school"....
A politically uneducated populace, combined with an angered populace, including Clinton's issues, along with Russian interference, along with white nationalism, along with coming out of a bad recession, along with his hateful rhetoric, mix it up like stirring up a concoction and when you put some heat to it, BAMMMMMM!!! Out comes Trump.
The electoral college was in his favor.
Skipped school I guess. You look like a fool with this question.
Democracy is clearly a lot more complicated than you think. "Popular vote" is not how presidents are elected, nor should it be IMO. That being said, the American system is even worse.
Short version: Whoever gets more votes doesn't necessarily get the oval office.
It's all part of the FREEDOM that is unique to the USA, isn't it? Greatest country in the world, where "Gahd" rules.
He just bribed people and rigged the electoral system.
Wow! You're really stupid, or were off planet.
Yes, the Electoral College did the opposite of its purpose, and foisted the brainless, ignorant, corrupt, small-minded tyrant, owned by a foreign power on us, rather than preventing such a creature gaining power.
On what planet have you been living since November?
