OK. Some people like to pick the fly shit out of pepper.Trump has never won a majority of voters. He didn't even win the pop vote in 2016. He is a historically unpopular political figure.
The popular vote is not like the majority of the votes.
So you scored one for your side. Be proud.
A landslide? Just 0.15 percent of all voters determined Trump’s 2024 victory
by Mark Haidar and Aidan Calvelli, opinion contributors - 01/20/25 1:00 PM ETTrump’s 1.5 percent popular vote victory is one of the smallest ever — just a fraction of Lyndon B. Johnson’s 22.6 percent landslide win in 1964. Trump failed to secure a majority of the popular vote, at 49.7 percent, unlike George W. Bush in 2004 (50.3 percent), Barack Obama in 2008 and 2012 (52.9 percent and 51 percent) and Joe Biden in 2020 (51.3 percent). And while Trump won all seven swing states, his 312 electoral votes were only a handful more than Biden’s 306 in 2020 — and far less than Obama’s 365 in 2008 or Ronald Reagan’s 525 in 1984.
