http://www.rawstory.com/2017/07/fox-presidential-historian-who-dropped-out-of-bible-college-says-trump-is-a-metaphor-for-independence-day/
A so-called presidential historian who dropped out of Bible school told Fox News this week that the Founding Fathers would be proud of the election of President Donald Trump.
I see the election of Donald Trump is a wonderful metaphor for Independence Day, Doug Wead told Fox News over the weekend. The media said who we should vote for, Wall Street told us, old money told us, Hollywood told us. Everybody said, Heres who you should vote for. And those stubborn independent Americans said, I believe well take the other guy, thank you.'
According to Weads biography, he attended Central Bible College in Illinois for two years before dropping out. He later received an honorary doctorate from Oral Roberts University.

Or, you could view the metaphor in another way. A firecracker blowing off your hand, for example.

So the people didn't take the other guy.
If HRC had won the Electoral but lost the popular, Fox News would point that out every single day.
