He didn't though. He won 57% of the electoral vote and 51% of the popular vote.

Another way of looking at it though, is he won the electoral college by a margin of 40k votes (the margin of victory in the states that mattered). He won the popular vote by a margin of 7m votes.

You're a pretty famous person, so we know you are smart enough to know that nothing above 50% matters.

"Favor" only matters to extent it helps a candidate get over 270 EV.
