If you have 200 million registered voters, and 100 million voted in the last election and 40 million vote in this election you can claim whatever you want, every politician knows you don't have a mandate and will act accordingly.
When Reagan won by an overwhelming majority everyone feared his mandate. No one fears Trump's "mandate".
