Landslide??? 77% of all US Presidents won Electoral College by higher margins than Trump.

46th out of 58. That means his result was the 13th-worst. 13/58=22.4%

So, next time somebody talks about Trump's landslide victory... Tell them it's not a landslide victory if you finished 77th out of a 100.
