Only ~60% of eligible US voters voted in 2016 and 2020, Trump lost the popular vote both times, "half of the country" did not vote for him.

74+ million did which worked out to 46.9%. That's pretty close to 50% for discussion purposes. That's a large pool of potential employees.

That's about 22.5% of the country, not half.

Then the correct statement would be "half the country would've voted for this guy, based on the number of people who did vote".

Not of the country it didn't.
