What do you think...he should or he shouldn´t? 

randal

Yes, Donald Trump won the electoral vote. Although, a counter argument would be that he lost the popular vote by a landslide to Hillary Clinton. There was an estimated 2 million vote difference.

agsr

We have well-eatablished rules for voting, and Trump is OUR elected president.  The word "deserved" to me implies measurement of perfomance, and we will need more time to see definitive results from his decisive actions, although IMO he is off to a promissing start.

don_liber

That's a question asked by many, all the time. Trump was not fairly elected and don't won't be popular vote so my debate on this would be no. 

melanielust

as a person? sure why not. politically? nah, it wasn't a fair process. then again it rarely is.

Vaulk

Donald Trump satisfied the established requirements for achieving a victory in the Presidential Election...there are no additional requirement needed nor has there been any new standards created that he did not meet.  Therefor by definition YES, Trump does deserve to be President. 

joecavalry

I believe he does deserve to be president. He was elected by the system, perhaps the popular vote (which doesn't matter that much). Although, he won with electoral votes which is how presidents get elected.
I agree with @vaulk .

Logic

Well, Seeing as to how WW3 is right around the corner, I doubt he was a good choice. 

agsr

@Logic, Not sure about WW3 being around the corner.   The tensions with a North Korea are certainly not new and that cannot be pinned on Trump

CYDdharta

Don't sweat it @Logic, WWIII has been "just around the corner" since the end of WWI.

Logic

@CYDdharta  Let's hope that's so, It just seems like Russia And China, Aren't too fond of Trump Or america at this point.

snlagsinst

He got fairly elected, I agree with @agsr .

Coveny

Depends on how you define deserve. If we say deserve means he has a legal claim, then yes obviously he does. If we are talking about his merit then no, as he has no qualifications. If we are talking about suitable then it would be yes, he's taking advantage of the American just like presidents for the last 30 years. If we are talking about appropriate then no, it was an undemocratic election. (either because of the Russians, or Hillary pick your poison)

natbarons

Yes, he was fairly elected and does have a legal claim.

George_Horse

Yes. He does and he is fine being the president, a better choice than Hillary. 

with_all_humility

Absolutely!

Trump deserves being elected by the people who elected him, and people who elected him deserve him to be their president. Does not make him a good, or even a sensible, president, however. People made a mistake and elected a buffoonish populist, and the buffoonish populist used it to his advantage. Usual business decision: manipulate people and get what you want from them. There is nothing wrong with it, and gullible people have only themselves to blame for entrusting the fate on their country in the hands of someone who has zero knowledge about anything outside his narrow business field.

Agility_Dude

YES! he won the election fair and square! He will make the country great again with stricter enforcement on borders and the destruction of obamacare.
