Stew on that.
No the simple reason Trump got in is that the US electoral system is fundamentally anti-democratic, from the Electoral College fatally favouring empty sstates, to the ability of rich people to openly buy both politicians and elections all the way through to the fact that the whole procees is controlled by political appointees, making voter supression, gerrymandering anod over and under counting of votes endemic in the system.
And by extension, that makes the whole damn useless constitution anti-democratic because these defects were written into it deliberately.
If NEARLY half of voters didnt alreay vote fot him, EC system would have been irrelevant.
Tackattack IS right that TRump only reflects american society. TRump is not the problem, he is th ecanary in the coal mine. Even IF biden is voted into office in November, most likely 40% of voters will still have voted for Trump, THATS the real problem!
