258m adults in the US in 2020 about 255m in 2016
74 223 975 votes in 2020, 62 984 828 in 2016
That's both more than 18% and there's no reason to believe that all people under 18 would vote against Trump.
And that's only based on the people that bothered voting, there's supporters that didn't vote that should get added to that as well.
I think you need to work on your reading comprehension
Which was a reply to a comment about support for him therefore your argument didn't make sense in the context as shown by the fact that more than 18% of people who could vote did vote for him and you can't show that there's no support for him amongst those under voting age and they can't be included when talking about votes statistics because they can't vote.
Also the bit about victim blaming makes zero sense.
So yeah, reading comprehension, work on that.
