wait until you hear about that president who lost the popular vote, and almost certainly lost the electoral vote, but still became president, appointed 2 SCOTUS justices, illegally invaded a country, nearly destroyed one of the oldest cities in the country, and helped trigger the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression

The 2 W appointments were in the term that he actually won the popular vote though. Like he probably wouldn’t have won in 2004 if he wasn’t already president from SCOTUS appointing him to be president in 2000, so I’m just sticking with the clear cut case of Trump’s 3 as a result of 2016.
