He had less than 50% of votes. Saying "most voters wanted him" is demonstrably incorrect.

Donald Trump

76,856,362 votes (49.9%)

Kamala Harris

74,320,684 votes (48.3%)

Most voters wanted him.

This is not an endorsement of trump, rather, a condemnation of the US voting public.

if you want to have an argument about the definition of pluralaity and majority or whatever, I suggest

Most would be greater than 50% by definition

What definition are you working from for "most", because you seem to be meaning it in a far more semantically strict way than I have seen before
