In fact, he had less margin than any election since 2000. Even Hillary in 2016 had a larger popular vote margin of victory than Trump 2024 despite having lost the electoral college.

You seem to be fixated on a vote system that we do not use.

Despite what people say, land does vote. And you're right: land voted for Trump.

But that's not what's being discussed in this subthread. The media portray Trump as having a popular vote mandate. That's not true

Indeed. And yet with certain previous presidents we've been told that because the margin of victory is so slim, they're already a lame duck. But here, it's a mandate.

So, Trump in 2016, not 2024, was actually the lowest (negative, in fact) margin for a winning candidate since 2000 (and was actually lower—more negative—than 2000’s also-negative margin.)
