No one won the popular vote, as no single candidate got an absolute majority. If we can point at any winner in the popular vote it would be Gary Johnson.
But Trump won an overwhelming victory where it counted in the US electoral system.
I am all for a reform of the electoral system, but the first rule of any reform should be that any candidate needs to win an absolute majority in order to win, it is hard to imagine a system more unfair then one where the winner becomes the one with the biggest plurality regardless of how big the majority that voted against them were.
