To feel sorry for Trump?

I’ve name changed for this as I know I will get completely flamed. But AIBU to secretly feel a little bit sorry for Trump? He campaigned so hard for this election compared to Biden and seemed to put his absolute all into it.

The amount of hate he gets on social media is astounding - I honestly don’t know how one person can handle all that and keep on going. I would have had a nervous breakdown or worse by now if I was on the receiving end of that.

His kids clearly love him and they seem alright - perhaps he’s not so bad behind the scenes? I think losing this election will destroy him as a person and whilst I don’t agree with his political viewpoint, I can’t help but feel slightly sorry for the guy.

AIBU?

Well, unfortunately he got more votes than the whole population of the UK.

And Biden got some borrowed votes from the Republicans....

A good move would be not fight hate with hate.

The US electorate is nearly four times the size of the UK population, so that's utterly meaningless.

Biden is ahead in the popular vote by not far off the population of Scotland (if you want to play the meaningless comparisons games).
