it’s not because trump declared himself the winner. it’s because in the US, empty lands can have more votes than people. it’s called electoral college but that’s what it really is. essentially rocks and dirt voting.
When I learned about the electoral college in a US school, I was told by my teacher that it exists so the delegates can override the people’s vote in an event where they voted for someone clearly terrible (eg a clown or a fascist)
Again, Trump lost the popular vote, and the US just let him claim that he won, when they should have stopped it.
