Try again. Trump won via the Electoral College. If it were not for that possibly outdated mechanism he wouldn't have won.
When it comes to the actual vote by the populace it breaks down to
Trump 62,985,106
Clinton 65,853,625
Others 8,261,498
total VOTES 137,100,229
do the math. Trump only won 45.94% of the votes. but for the 2016 election there were 200,081,300 registered voters. So you add that to the mix and that's only 31.48% of the population. however there's another approximately 21 million American adults that are eligible who haven't even bothered to register. So add them to the mix and that's 28.49% of the adult citizens.
so how exactly did we 'clearly want' him as President.
You just explained why we have the electoral college and why it's here to stay. Voting is not compulsory, therefore only those citizens interested in the course of the nation will vote. They will continue to do so through the State sovereign processes of choosing electors. The majority of States clearly wanted him to be president. They also wanted Republicans to control the House and Senate. There is no other math.
