> Why is it okay for previous presidents who won in the electoral college to be legitimized but not Trump?

The only other president who won EC but not popular vote was George W Bush.

Yes but all others weren't legitimized because of the popular vote. It was because of the electoral college. If ever there was a problem with the current system, you should have fixed it then and not complain now that Trump won.
