That's definitely not true. You're confusing electoral college results with the actual popular vote count.
Trump had 77,284,118 votes, or 49.8 percent of the votes.
Harris had 74,999,166 votes or 48.3 percent of the votes.
It's a difference of a little over 2 million votes in a country of 340 million, which is less than 1% of the total population (not total voting population, but still).
The idea that this man has an overwhelming majority of the population on his side or some sort of mandate from the people is bull####. He's losing support quickly and is probably only going to have total Republican control of the branches for 2 years until midterms. People are already pretty pissed with the results of his work. It's gonna be a bloodbath.
