If all the electors vote for who their state voted for, Trump will get 56.88% of the electoral votes, which is 46th out of 58 elections, closer to Bush Jr. than Reagan and Bush Sr. so I'd say that it wasn't very decisive either. I only bring it up because Trump keeps claiming he won in a landslide.
As an aside I think one of Trump's saving graces is that he isn't ideologue.. he's an autocrat but he's a weather vane, which seems to me like is less potentially damaging to institutions and such.
