LOL Trump tried to be a populist and you are right that simple slogans and the electoral college gerrymander got him over the line in 2016, however he was never truly popular. He won the presidency without winning the popular vote given Hillary Clinton beat him on that score. Trump also did not increase his popularity broadly across the USA as time passed during his term. The average of polls always had Trump with less than 50% approval during his whole term, whereas Presidents Clinton and Obama and Bush did actually achieve majority support regularly during their terms. Furthermore, Clinton, Obama and Bush each won a second term whereas Trump lost in disgrace. Trump was a con man who managed to con some dis-affected people but was never able to command the support of a majority. He was a lying Disallowed merchant and megalomaniac who promised the world but instead incited division and oversaw the death of over 500,000 Americans as his legacy. He faces multiple court actions which will likely wear him down given his age.

If you believe Biden got over 80 million votes then Trump got the second highest vote ever and you lot try and tell people he wasn't popular People are not as stupid as you lefties think, they can see how popular he was and is and they can also see how much the MSM fake news and opinions tried to make him unpopular without success. Boris is also still very popular.
