dragonwriter says >"US Presidents are not elected by the citizens, though the way they are elected tends usually in practice to align with the expressed will of the citizens, at least since the electors themselves have been elected by citizens, albeit disproportionately. But not in the case of Trump, among several other exceptions."< Pedantry and sophistry. "Elected" merely means "chosen by vote". Q. Who voted for President of the USA in the 2016 USA elections? A. The citizens of the USA. Q. Who was elected president of the USA in 2016? A. Donald Trump. Therefore, Donald Trump was elected president of the USA by its citizens. Q.E.D. Or perhaps you know of someone else who was elected president of the USA in 2016? If so, please name them, tell us why we neither hear their voice nor see them issuing decrees. Why do you not speak for them, man or woman, whichever ye be? Are you a traitor to their cause and, by your inactions, a traitor to your country (only if you're a US citizen, of course)?
