Only the proper candidates win, as a rule

Was Trump winning an example of that rule, or a counterexample?

It’s not a counterpoint, but emphasizes an even stronger point. Few Presidents win a majority of those eligible to vote. But to become President without also winning the majority of cast votes is unusual, and it’s especially important to emphasize when such a President claims they have a mandate due to being “popular”, imo.

which wasn’t the majority, by the way, since not everyone votes

Um, even among the people who cast a vote for President in 2024, Trump didn’t get a majority of the votes. He got fewer than half of the Presidential votes: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_United_States_presidential_election

Edit: And if they are wrong, by our accounting that means that you just saved the government $399.6 Billion dollars.

Try compression socks as the innermost-layer, which are long enough to run up the calf. With these on, I use one more layer of regular cotton sock and generally feel pretty warm (compared to just thick wool socks, or multiple other layers).

What’s being discussed for Reagan is the " October Surprise" (not Iran-Contra, a different scandal).
