Trump is going to win the PV by 2-3 points, which will lead to a lot of states trending D simply by technicality.
Secondly, there's no way Trump will win the PV simply because he hasn't gotten any more popular in states like California, Texas, and New York. the Sun Belt is still just as dissatisfied with him as they were on election day and he can't squeeze out too many more rural whites living in sparsely populated counties, certainly not enough to win the Popular Vote.
Maybe he means there'll be enough African-Americans, white liberals, and college students to skew Alabama's popular vote relative to the national popular vote to make it "trend" Dem.
