He did, but here's some worthwhile statistics:

Number of registered voters:
2016 - 157.6 mill
2020 - 168.31 mill

2016 election popular vote:
Clinton - 65.85 mill
Trump - 62.99 mill
Total - 128.84 mill

2020 election popular vote:
Biden - 81.28 mill
Trump - 74.22 mill
Total - 155.5 mill

Trump only won in 2016 due to the way the Electoral College works. If it was purely off popular vote, Clinton would have won. Trump lost that election purely off popular vote.
In 2020, Trump did have many more votes than in 2016, but there were more registered voters, and many more registered voters actually cared to vote in 2020 compared to 2016. That's why Trump lost.
