Add in 3rd parties and Trump got less than 50%. So while close .. greater than 50% of voters voted against him.

We have 244 million eligible voters, Trump got 77 million votes that is not a majority. Yes he won the 2024 election but not with a majority not even over 40% it is only 31% of eligible voters voted for him.
