With 306 Electoral votes it is obvious that Donald J. Trump has a mandate. The people have spoken and overwhelmingly chose Trump and Republicans to change what's wrong in America. Donald seriously trounced Hitlery and forget about the tainted popular vote. Over 3 million illegal aliens voted for Clinton, giving Trump the real victory in the popular vote. Make America Great Again!!
In 2016 there are approximately 218,959,000 eligible voters in the United States.
Donald Trump received approx. 61,898,584 votes. That is about 28% of eligible voters who cast a ballot for Trump.
Hillary Clinton received approx. 63,551,979 votes. That is about 29% of eligible voters.
72% of eligible voters did not vote for Trump.
71% of eligible voters did not vote for Clinton.
Neither of them could claim a mandate. The fact is that they could each barely get a quarter of eligible voters to show up to cast a ballot for either of them.
Getting 28% of eligible voters is not a mandate. Both of these scumbags were rejected by the people.
