Voters. Trump was elected (indirectly) by the voters. Nearly half the electorate voted for him. The EC only meant that he didn't need a popular majority nationwide, just majorities in particular states where the EC gives voters more power due to lower populations. As much as many people would have liked it, the EC did not go against the wishes of the voters in their states.
