People are downvoting you but you are not wrong. We just hate hearing it.

Calling all American losers when nearly half of voters voted against Trump—including those currently risking their lives protesting against ICE—isn't a very measured take of the situation.

It is Americans who are losers at this moment.

As I interpret this, It is observing that we are the losers right now, not that we are Losers.

That seems pretty accurate. It is why we are protesting and trying to organize.

We are losers right now. We are Losers if we don't fix it.

That's my distinction anyway.

By that interpretation, definitely.

People are downvoting them because there are multiple interpretations of the word loser and Trump fits many of them. The comment was a huge "akshually, he's succeeding" and that's annoying.
