Donald Trump won the Electoral College in a landslide this year.
— Trump won 306 electoral votes
— Hillary Clinton won 232 electoral votes
Trump won 30 states and 1 electoral vote in Maine.
Hillary won 20 states and the District of Columbia.
But Democrats keep repeating that Hillary Clinton won the popular vote.
Today Trump challenged that thought.
Trump tweeted this out this afternoon.
In addition to winning the Electoral College in a landslide, I won the popular vote if you deduct the millions of people who voted illegally

Donald Trump then added this:
It would have been much easier for me to win the so-called popular vote than the Electoral College in that I would only campaign in 3 or 4–

states instead of the 15 states that I visited. I would have won even more easily and convincingly (but smaller states are forgotten)!

Trump is correct. As we reported earlier:
Results to date from the 2016 Presidential election show an even larger Trump landslide over Hillary Clinton than originally reported.
Current data shows Donald Trump beat Hillary Clinton in Electoral College votes, states won and even the popular vote when considering the vast amount of voter fraud.
It has been widely reported that there were more than 3 million votes cast by illegal aliens and most, if not all these votes, were cast for Hillary Clinton. When accounting for these votes, Trump beat Clinton by more than 1 million in the popular vote.
