Since Donald Trump was elected president on Tuesday [1], people are resurfacing two of his tweets about the 2012 election results. In the first, Trump tweeted how the electoral college was a "disaster for democracy."
The electoral college is a disaster for a democracy.

This election is a total sham and a travesty. We are not a democracy!

In the second, he elaborated on his criticism of the electoral college and called it a "total sham." Rather ironically, the electoral college is one of the main reasons he was elected. Hillary Clinton won the popular vote [4], so yes, Mr. Trump, many people agree with you regarding the electoral college process.
