Aided by 65 years (it started in 1959) of KGB*-encouraged cynicism and apathy instilled in our body politic (via, for example, the anti-government conspiracy theories that sprang, with the KGB*'s help, from the anomaly-replete assassination of JFK by a sharpshooting, psychologically disturbed, self-described Marxist by the name of Lee Harvey Oswald), The Traitorous Orange Xxxx (rhymes with bird) known as Donald J. Trump won the 2024 popular vote by only 1.5 percent -- hardly the "mandate" that his zombified supporters claim.

Here’s a better take on the recent election, by The Council on Foreign Relations:
“Trump won 77,284,118 votes, or 49.8 percent of the votes cast for president. That is the second highest vote total in U.S. history, trailing only the 81,284,666 votes that Joe Biden won in 2020. Trump won 3,059,799 more popular votes in 2024 than he won in 2020 and 14,299,293 more than he won in 2016.
He now holds the record for the most cumulative popular votes won by any presidential candidate in U.S. history, surpassing Barack Obama.”
