I think you're double speaking here, the majority of the population who were eligible to vote, voted for Donald Trump in 2024.

Less than 1/3 of eligible voters voted for trump in this election.... how did you come up with your numbers???? 78/244 (millions) https://bipartisanpolicy.org/explainer/10-things-to-know-202...
The majority of the population who were eligible to vote, and actually decided to vote, voted for Trump, yes.

That's not "America" for two reasons: "the majority of the population who were eligible to vote, and actually decided to vote" is not the same thing as "Americans", and choosing which option you prefer in a binary choice (where you have no influence on the two options) does not mean you like the choice you made.
