It puts things into perspective when one does some calulations and include those people in the final results that were eligable to vote, but refused to do so. Because they are the strongest single camp.
Almost 219 million US citizens were eligable to vote. Slightly less than last time went voting. Taking these 219 million, this is the way they distrubute: 43% decided not to vote. 27% voted for Trump. 27% voted for Clinton. 2.7% voted for others. To what degree do the factions above represent all of the American population, including those who are not eligable to vote - all citizens, in general? The total population currently is counted at roughly 325 million. Of these 325 million, 33% were not allowed to vote (many possible legal reasons) 29% were allowed but rejected to vote. 18% supported Clinton. 18% supported Trump. 1.8% supported others This means: not even one in five Americans (total population) supports Trump, and not even one in five Americans (total population) supports Clinton. More than three in five Americans of total population did not vote or could not vote. Almost every third American (total population) decided to not vote even though he would have been allowed to do so. So: To claim the American president "represents the American people", or that "all Americans have gone insane to allow this happening", is not justified, and a great exaggeration. In fact the reality sees the president representing a minority only, and the majority of people do not actively support Trump and Clinton. Did all the math myself, correct me if I am significantly wrong with numbers somewhere, but not down to the digits behind the decimale, please: this is no statistic done for an academic paper.
