The Republican presidential candidate ridiculously claimed that Biden is "trying to hold" Bibi back, as the Israeli prime minister continued to ruthlessly bomb Lebanon and Gaza.

“He’s doing a good job,” Trump saidabout the Israeli leader. “Biden is trying to hold him back, just so you understand, Biden is more superior to the VP. He’s trying to hold him back, and he probably should be doing the opposite, actually. I’m glad that Netanyahu decided to do what he had to do, but it’s moving along pretty good.”

    258m adults in the US in 2020 about 255m in 2016

    74 223 975 votes in 2020, 62 984 828 in 2016

    That’s both more than 18% and there’s no reason to believe that all people under 18 would vote against Trump.

    And that’s only based on the people that bothered voting, there’s supporters that didn’t vote that should get added to that as well.

            Which was a reply to a comment about support for him therefore your argument didn’t make sense in the context as shown by the fact that more than 18% of people who could vote did vote for him and you can’t show that there’s no support for him amongst those under voting age and they can’t be included when talking about votes statistics because they can’t vote.

            Also the bit about victim blaming makes zero sense.

            So yeah, reading comprehension, work on that.
