No that is only the case if you don't count Michigan (which Trump is probably going to win very very slightly).

Counting Michigan, Trump has 306 electoral votes. If you take away the 29 from Florida, he has 277, which is still greater than the 270 needed.

You seem to be missing my point.

If Clinton wins Michigan, then the Florida result (i.e. that single state) affects the outcome of the election.
