Anyways, what he meant was it's not fair that people born and raised in Puerto Rico have no electors, and so, no vote...even those who have always followed the law. But anyone from South America that can get across the border illegally can find a way, depending where they go and who they know, can arrive last year and vote this year. That's what he meant.
I really agree with Trump on this issue.

Trump's tweet was in context of supporting an proportional electoral college in every state -- in which the electoral votes would be divided by the percentage of the state which voted for the candidate. If this system was in place Trump would have won with over 350 electoral votes.
His tweet was also in reference to that people living in U.S. territories cannot vote for president but seemingly anyone sneaking into the U.S. illegally can.
Yes! Same reason each state has 2, Senators.... regardless of population.
The problem with this statement is that you weren't making it before the election, and wouldn't make it after if Hillary had won and Donald had won the popular vote.
If you had made it before, then you'd have a leg to stand on here. But you can't just complain about the rules after you lost the game, or you just come off as a petulant child.
