In our stupid 2 party system its a much more black and white way of looking at things so I didn't account for the nuance of your system having more parties.
Great and again the 50% doesn't matter, he's the president under law and because of that he can set the mandate. He might have gotten less votes then Hillary but clearly Hillary ran a bad and pretty arrogant campaign and turned off the vote major states. But as President Trump doesn't have to worry about Mandates he doesn't have to worry about the popular vote and he can pretty much say that he has the ability and power given to him because of the last election results to say things like I'm giving America back to the people.
