No he doesn't. He represents less than half of the people who voted, which is about half of those eligible to vote and even less of the population as a whole.
I'm always cautious when people use the argument about "not everyone who was eligible voted". True, many people sat out the election so can't be counted as 'Trump voters". But, those people
could have gone to the polls and voted for Clinton. (Even if they were not in a swing state, voting as a symbolic "I don't approve of Trump" gesture would have some value.)
Instead, those non-voters looked at Trump, decided "Err... a bigoted con-artist is not reprehensible enough so I won't bother going to the polls". Not voting for Trump doesn't automatically mean you don't like Trump.
Even then, there's enough people who regret voting for him that he doesn't even represent that anymore. All totaled he probably represents about 20% of the population or less at this point.
Trump's current approval rating sits at approximately 43%, and has hovered around that level since shortly after his election. This is after the Stormy Daniels revelations. This is after he dropped out of a military memorial because of rain. This is after the Trump administration had children locked in cages. This is after several high-profile firings and arrests of Trump associates.
Granted, 43% is significantly less than half, but its still a large enough minority of voters for people to say "What is wrong with the U.S. population?"
