The majority of country didn't elect him the first time and definitely isn't necessary to elect a president.
The presidency is decided by electoral college votes, not by the people's vote.
This is true. But calling the worst case scenario "inevitable" is doom and gloom surrender before the fight - stuff like this will just make people think "well, it's hopeless, there's nothing I can do" and so they do nothing when maybe they could have done something.
