Presidents are selected, not elected.

About This Quote

The reason why this quote is so famous is because it comes from the belief that the president is not elected, but rather selected by a small group of “elites.” In reality, our current President was elected by the majority of voters through a democratic process, and his predecessor was voted into office by a majority of voters as well. It is true that presidents may be selected for a variety of reasons, but the power to choose our leaders does not reside with a select few.
