In a parliamentary system; 35% appoint their representatives and empower them to seat a government, so the government is representitive if a majority of the country. In the US system, the majority never voted or empowered anybody to appoint DJT, at best you can say 200 years ago their ancestors gave away their right to self determine in favor of giving other states an equal power. As it stands, DJT was never appointed or voted for by a majority of the people in the USA. (Not saying it isn’t fair)
I have no issue saying DJT policies represent the wishes of the majority of Texas residents, if you want to hear it, and it would be representative of the wishes of the whole country if a few more people voted for him.
As an aside, according to the Torah, 35% is a majority if it is the largest group just like 51% is, so even 35% would be the wishes of the majority if the disagreeing parties are multiple and smaller (this is seen in the Gemara which says כדבר פשוט that אחרי רבים להטות would tell you an unidentified body comes from the largest nearby city when there are multiple cities in equal distance, even if the largest city doesn’t comprise 51% of all the residents)
