No this is the president that a majority of people were willing to tolerate to avoid an even more idiotic candidate and party.
77,302,580 votes for Trump
341,312,679 population of the US (22.6%)
315,110,988 citizens of the US (24.5%)
244,000,000 eligible voters (31.6%)
173,850,000 registered voters (44.5%)
155,238,302 votes cast (49.8%)
312 out of 538 electoral votes (58%)
Not a majority of people, citizens, eligible voters, registered voters, or votes cast (for the third time in a row). But through the distortions of the electoral college, a majority of electors.
