The popular vote is irrelevant.  It's 51 separate elections, and everyone knows that going in, and allocates resources accordingly.  It's set up this way for a reason, so that each state has its own say in electing the president.  I would say the same if Hillary had won the election but lost the popular vote.

By the way, it's impossible to know how the vote would have turned out if it were a national popular vote election.  Republicans would have thrown a lot of resources at making sure illegal aliens weren't voting in California, and a lot of people who stayed home may have voted.  Trump probably would have won anyway.
