I thought Trump got 304 votes to Clinton's 227? /s-ish

You are complaining because Trump didn't win the popular vote. The popular vote doesn't matter. Winning states matter. Each state gets a certain number of votes that that state determines how to allocate to any candidate. Most states choose to give those votes to whomever got the most votes in the state.

It does not have to be this way.

Hell, we've had a president win the election that didn't win either the popular or electoral vote.
