> approved by popular vote

Quibble: The majority of people voted against Trump, or at least not in his favor. He only got a plurality, not a majority.

He didn't state 'by majority' anywhere in that comment. Approved. By popular vote, by some portion of the totality of popular vote, unspecified as far as the post goes.

Approved by enough popular vote to attain plurality. I'll take your quibble as a cute fixation with correctness when it comes to statistics, and not as it otherwise tends to manifest.

Cheers.

Also, no-vote is a vote for the winner, so the majority at least tacitly approves.
