It just goes to show billionaires aren't very smart. We already knew that given Trump. First of all, there are about 161.4M registered voters. Second, Trump barely won 50.1% of the vote and no real landslide like Nixon 1972 or Reagan 1984. Third, Trump had no real coattails.

As I write, Republicans lost US Senate seats in AZ, NV, WI, and MI with Trump winning the state and will not significantly extend its razor-thin House majority. Since 1952, Eisenhower (2), LBJ, Nixon, Reagan (2), GHW Bush, Clinton (2), and Obama (2) won more electoral votes. https://t.co/M1frK0D42A

No. There is no "mandate". Last time I checked, Trump was tracking below 50% and won by less than 2% over a candidate who wasn't even in the race in mid-July. he had no coattails; the GOP barely won a majority in the House, and GOP Senate candidates lost in states he won like AZ.
