Clinton is up to 1.7 million votes over Trump. At the very most, Trump got votes from 25% of the country. Not only has he no mandate, he is detested by the majority. You think it doesn't matter because they live in blue states (where the jobs and population centers are)? I cannot believe that Trump voters think he has a mandate. It's laughable.
Whether or not he has this magical mandate is irrelevant . He has both the House and the Senate , and will have the Supreme Court within a month of taking office . What exactly is laughable about controlling every aspect of government ? And it will get worse in 2018 when 25 Dem senators come up for reelection, many in places Trump won, while the GOP only has to defend 8 , all in solid red states like TX and Utah . The GOP will likely be over 55 senators come 2019, with probably another SCOTUS pick .

As of today, Nov. 21, the California Sec'y of State's office reports there are 2.16 million ballots yet to be counted. Assuming Clinton's 29% lead over Trump holds, I expect that will add about 600k votes to her margin, boosting her up to around 2.3 million.

Usually in elections it is said the a landslide victory is needed to serve as a mandate for huge, sweeping changes in laws and programs. Trump won in the Electoral College with a good margin but most would not call it a landslide. Hillary Clinton is winning the national popular vote by the largest margin in U.S. history:
