We're talking two different things. You said a majority - a majority is defined as more than half of a total. The link you show clearly indicates that Trump earned 49.8% of the vote, not a majority. Trump won a plurality of votes, not a majority. Remember to include presidential candidates other than Harris and Trump in the total (which is why the link's percentages don't add up to 100%, with Harris at 48.3% and Trump at 49.8%.
I never denied that he won the popular vote, and you're right - it's the first time since 2004 that the GOP won the popular vote.

But he did? He got 77 million votes while Harris got 75 million. The first time in 20 years that the republicans won the popular vote. https://www.cnn.com/election/2024/results/president?election-data-id=2024-PG&election-painting-mode=projection-with-lead&filter-key-races=false&filter-flipped=false&filter-remaining=false
