I'd actually find him hilarious if it wasn't for the whole president in a few weeks thing.

It has never been about popular vote. End of discussion. It's like Kopites saying we won the possession after defeat.
But it's a fact.
It's also a fact that the US has voted in a racist, misogynist idiot as president.
And furthermore, it's also a fact that people are free (for now) to oppose him.

It is very unedifying that the President-elect of the USA is so personally insecure that he has to jump on Twitter to get back at anyone who is critical of him.
A Head of State and Government, as he will be, simply has to rise above it and show some decorum.
I'm amazed that his day isn't so full of demands already that he has time to devote a second to Twitter.
His continuous divisive rhetoric, denial when he is wrong, cabinet picks, and stoking of the media circus do not bode well at all for someone with such an enormous level of responsibility.
I think he'll remain in election mode for his full term, speaking to grinning audiences, and avoiding do anything of note.
He will be a massive disappointment to those who elected him.

Irrelevant fact. Trump won with same rules than Obama did...and presidents before him. Try to deal with reality.
I think most of the opposition revolves around the fact that the guy is a buffoon.
I would not have voted for him myself as I could not vote for anyone with the qualities you describe but I have little doubt that he won fairly, under the electoral college rules that exist or that (as has said) had the President been decided on the popular vote, that he would have campaigned differently and won that too.
Bush v Gore all those years ago was IMO a massive stich-up. Trump beat Clinton fairly according to the rules
I didn't say anything on the contrary.
My argument is that people are arguing against what he stands for.
lets just face it he is bit of a knob.
He's like a big child. Twitter is going to be hilarious with him.
true I find him amusing to be honest, in a sort of I cant believe they did it put you in charge,
strangely I can see him doing ok economically and getting a lot more popular in the USA as time goes on.
Meh, I don't like either him or Meryl Streep
Her comments about sports and MMA show she is in as much a bubble as Trump is, and her self satisfied manner is sickening
Streep raised the subject while talking about the rewards diversity has brought to Hollywood. “If we kick [foreigners] out, you’ll have nothing to watch but football and mixed martial arts – which are not the arts,”

Credit to Scott Coker for his measured and eloquent response though
“I’m a lifelong fan of your work but also a lifelong martial artist who happens to promote mixed martial arts around the world,” Coker wrote in a post on Twitter.
“The global sport of mixed martial arts celebrates male and female athletes from all around the world who work years tirelessly honing their craft and– yes – art. They come from every country and every walk of life. We at Bellator support them and honor their skill.
“Please be my guest at the LA Forum on January 21st and you will see that mixed martial arts is truly artistic – which will feature fighters from all over the world competing at a world class level.”

One being a actress, speaking on behalf of herself - the other being the President Elect of the world's single superpower.
Hey, an arrogant self important biff is an arrogant self important biff, regardless of their social standing or where they stand on the political spectrum
Basically, Scott Coker > Both Streep and Trump (And also Dana White who also threw a hissy fit)
His response was respectful, eloquent and measured in a way that neither Trump or Streep are capable of IMO, so he "wins"
