No, 42% of the states went for his ass (21 of them). But in the general election, each state has a proportional number of electors.

To ratify an amendment to the Constitution, 34 state legislatures would need to approve it.

Ain't gonna happen.

Fortunately, you need ratification by 3/4 of states.
