The voting people elected Clinton. The appointed electors gave the office to trump.
IOW, he won.
He won because of a rare occurrence that has happed only 5 times in our 243 year history caused by a technicality. This is a fluke presidency.
He won fair and square. He won because Hillary was a terrible candidate who, despite spending far more money and having a slavishly devoted media backing her, decided to ignore vast swaths of the electorate whom he aggressively went after. You can call it a fluke all you want, but at the end of the day, he's the incumbent in 2020 and Hillary is retired. You might as well try to deny the underdog a Super Bowl victory because the losing team was supposed to be superior and their defense missed a crucial tackle.
He had help. The Russians engaging in an active measure campaign helped. The hacking and dumping of thousands of sensitive emails helped. The FBI helped too. Comey going out and attacking Clinton in his press conference was damaging to her. It was also completely outside the normal conduct of the FBI. Comey telling Chaffetz that he was reopening the investigation was also completely outside normal procedure and when Chaffetz told everyone, it hurt her campaign.
I’m not saying Trump cheated or is responsible for this. I’m saying that Clinton lost for a lot of reasons and those I listed above were some of them and were wrong. I wouldn’t call it the most fair election in the world.
There are tricks and shady things done in every election, and I can guarantee that every nation in the planet with the means to do so tries to influence our elections. It's inevitable because the prize is so big, and we've gone back and forth endlessly over all of the tricks known about on this board. That being said, it still boils down to one of the greatest political upsets in American history. I still believe that Hillary had every advantage on paper, and her believing that led her to slack off and stop campaigning, which allowed Trump, with his boundless energy and refusal to give up, to pull it off. Think the tortoise and the hare.
The bottom line is, Hillary defeated herself.
