Here is a less misleading map.

Now to be clear, I do believe in the Electoral Collection, but Clinton did win the popular vote. It's not as if Trump won in a landslide.

but Clinton did win the popular vote

Except that particular popular vote has never mattered. The ones that count are the 50 individual popular votes where voters in each state express their opinion to their electors. She lost 30 out of 50 of those.

Getting 2% more of the national popular vote, because the most populous states in the land gave you a few extra beyond what was needed to win their popular vote, is meaningless.

She got trounced because she lost states that haven't went Red since 1988

When Clinton loses practically all working class yellow dog Democrat strongholds and only wins the welfare states, it might as well be a landslide.
