Less than 58% of elligible voters actually voted. This means that only a third of the US population actively voted to not have Trump in office.

Yes, they do deserve this. Especially since a lot of people votes based on the party line. Let's not forget that Trump was also voted into the Republican candidacy, against other candidates, while The Democrats chose Hillary and her corruption, who was a horrible candidate (when Bernie Sanders was a much more capable candidate).

Over 40% of the population decided to sit out and waive their vote, either due to disdain for both candidates, or pure laziness.

Americans deserve everything that is happening to them, much like Britain is with the Brexit vote. The American public took the election for granted. If a large majority of people did not want Trump in office, they should have voted.
