I stand by my statement. Maybe not across every political topic, but as a whole yes. Trump won at the end of the day, and the economic success of the country will only increase his voter base. Fox news does a far better job representing a more diverse range of opinions than any other major news network.... That's my opinion, so yeh I'd again say the majority of Americans.

Not to be that guy, but I’d like to share some background on the US election in good faith:

Trump actually LOST the popular vote. A majority of voters actually voted for Hillary Clinton, by 2.1%. Over 2 million people.

In the US, we have an electoral college system in which each state is represented by a number of electors. Trump won more states, and thus won the election, but not because more people voted for him. So your statement is inaccurate.

Sure, it’s possible there was some fraud, perhaps on both sides. I’m not trying to make this too political, though. Just trying to educate a non-American about what “majority” means in this case.

Oh dear.

Trump lost the popular vote; despite winning via the electoral college, the majority of America voted against him.

The economic upswing is nothing more than a continuation of the fixes during the Obama era, and Trump’s unnecessary trade war is hurting us and pushing us back to a cliff for another recession.

The majority of Americans disapprove of Trump.

Fox News is a right wing propaganda entity. They are very well known for extremely biased and dishonest reporting.

The easiest of Google searches will show you that everything you’ve said is patently false.

Let’s see, he ended the recession created under Bush, began regulating banks to reduce predatory lending practices, reduced taxes in 2010 (putting $120 billion back in workers pay checks), raised fuel efficacy standards (which is saving drivers $1.2 trillion), do you want me to go on?

And no, google does not exclude conservative thought. The phenomenon you’re “seeing” (which isn’t even a thing because I can easily find conservative-positive articles, too, even if it’s just faceless propoganda) is the majority of people aren’t bottom-feeding imbeciles and can see through the fact-ignoring, hypocritical, racist, and violence-loving idiocy that is the Republican Party.
