Bush in 2000 by a margin of around 500,000 votes and Donald Trump in 2016 by about 3 million. At issue is the uniquely American system of the Electoral College, which provides that a group of specially chosen representatives (538 at present) for each state choose the president, generally using a winner-takes-all model based on the popular vote.
