You're being a little deceptive here, by summing votes for all candidates combined as "against".

What really matters is Trump v Harris, and Trump won that both in the electoral college and in the popular vote.

The point is that the media immediate glommed on to a "popular mandate" with Trump. Yet, it was very much not true.

He arguably won a popular vote. That's barely a pop;lar vote mandate.

I couldn’t get half of my liberal friends to even vote. And, it wasn’t because they didn’t like Kamala - I sensed that they were just tired of globalism.

With what, a compass? This is an absurd statement, I bet they weren't wearing clothes manufactured in America, or using a phone that was built domestically.

The easiest way to fatigue a nation of nationalists is to let the world move on. The Axis forces might have been tired of globalism, but the globalists sure as hell weren't.

There is no deception, those numbers are what they say they are, if you click through the link you can see the source document.

More people voted for a candidate other than Trump.
