Trump received the majority of casted votes.
People would agree that the Labour government in Britain received the majority of votes in the recent UK elections.
But they had only received 33.7% of casted votes. Which is 20% among eligible voters.
Majority = a greater number

Majority: (n.):[0] 1: a number or percentage equaling more than half of a total a majority of voters a two-thirds majority N.B.: Donald Trump received 49.9% of total votes cast. That is (by the American definition -- we don't follow your rules) a plurality, not a majority. Feel free to quibble about whose definition is correct. I'm sure the King will richly reward you for defending his English. [0] https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/majority https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/majority Edit: Fixed formatting.
