Voters, but a minority of them.* Then kept in office by a minority (43%) of Republican Senate legislators.
* Yes, that is the correct term. In each election >50% chose "Not Trump".

Uhhh... Not voting at all doesn't count as "Not Trump". It counts as "I don't care," which implicitly means "whatever everyone else thinks".
This is such a dumb thing to try to play semantic games about. A majority of voters elected the clown, and the population of non-voters is complicit in that.
Your comment is supercilious and confidently-incorrect. The most-charitable interpretation is that you are misinformed, from some false-estimate before counts were final which was never corrected.
1. Trump only received 49.7961% of the popular vote where people filled in a choice for President.
2. Meanwhile, 50.1976% went to specific non-blank people who were not Trump.
So yes, when I explicitly wrote about a minority of voters, that really does mean an an actual literal minority of the people who actually cast votes, and it remains true even if you discard ballots where the Presidency race was blank, thankyouverymuchdamnit.
