Trump lost the popular vote by three million. Even the minority of votes he did receive were tainted by the interference of a partisan FBI director in releasing news of Hillary's emails, just days before the vote, and which proved to be just duplicates of ones they already had. The interference of the Russian government on behalf of the Trump campaign was also a large factor in the election outcome. Their hacking of the DNC servers and releasing campaign information was another assault on Hillary Clinton's election. There is no doubt that Trump was not given a mandate by the voters and he will occupy the Oval Office under a cloud of deceit and outside interference.
