Trump was elected by a free, fair, democratically held vote of the people. You may cry about the outdated electoral system, but well, the rules are the rules. He won fair and square.

Switzerland isn't a member of the NATO and have only joined the UN in the early 2000s. You don't need to be a member of every overblown bureaucrat club on the planet to be friends with other nations and trade with other countries.

- CharlesW 8y agoThat's an absurd summary of the degree to which we know Russia interfered in the election. I recommend you read the entire Wikipedia article rather than the section I cited.
