Poorer whites living in suburbs outside of core city areas that have become home to non-white minorities are a bigger factor.
America is a much more urbanized society that it was 50 years ago. The small town America of yesteryear doesn't have the voters living in those communities any longer. Combining both is why this electoral, but not simple majority, exists.
Trump will attempt to lead the US version of a minority government as is commonly seen in parliamentary government world-wide.

This new government will not go far trying to shove these positions down the throats of the majority that opposed them. The 2020 elections may very well prove this out.
