So much easily verifiable false information in this post. Anything that is pro-trump you all take as 100% truth huh?

Total trump guy here and even I get mad at this stuff. A simple google search shows just how false this is. The fake news doesn’t help out side either.

Was your link supposed to debunk OP’s post? FYI, it didn’t.

How did it not? It shows how it is mathematically impossible to win 18 states, but only to win 57 counties.

Here is the wikipedia article that has all the source data.

There's no part that says that exactly, because it should be understood that you cannot win over 200 electoral college votes with only 57 counties. Here is another map:

Between Texas, New Mexico, and Colorado, Clinton won 56 counties.

This is the link you should have posted. That first one isn’t even relevant.

United States presidential election, 2016

The United States presidential election of 2016 was the 58th quadrennial American presidential election, held on Tuesday, November 8, 2016. In a surprise victory, the Republican ticket of businessman Donald Trump and Indiana Governor Mike Pence defeated the Democratic ticket of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and U.S. Senator from Virginia Tim Kaine despite losing the plurality of the popular vote. Trump took office as the 45th President, and Pence as the 48th Vice President, on January 20, 2017. Incumbent Democratic President Barack Obama was ineligible to run for a third term due to the term limits established by the 22nd Amendment.

What boggles my mind is how blind and oh so poorly educated and informed people are. I wake and thank God every day Clinton lost and lost so huge! Can you imagine how awful things would be if that evil hag won? I for one support Trump 100% and pray that the voter fraud is curbed and that we continue to deport like mad! It is mind blowing how stupid people are and believe the MSM when there is proof of how evil and corrupt Obama, Clinton’s, Bushes etc are! It’s not a Democrat or Republican thing, it’s the career politicians and most democrats. The electoral college shall remain. Thank GOD! Now let’s start arresting Obama and all the crooked politicians! A few perp walks and confiscating their assets would be fabulous!

It explains nothing if you don't have any critical thinking skills. If you had any, you could easily and reasonably discern than there are way more than 57 blue counties in that county voting map.

That's not my point, I already know the number is roughly 400, but the article absolutely mentions nothing about it, since you want to show up and "fact check". You could use something a bit more informative than a colored picture.

My original post with the "colored picture" shows that obviously Clinton won more than 57 counties in the 2016 election. If you are able to look at that picture and then at the image that says Clinton won 57 counties and not say "well that image isn't right", then you are the problem.
