While this would probably be the funniest thing ever, as I understand it the interstate compact doesn't go in effect until enough states sign on to guarantee a presidential win by popular vote.![]()
National Popular Vote Interstate Compact - Ballotpedia

So if Trump wins the popular vote, are all the blue states going to vote for him? I know they won't hold up to their "interstate compact" but the only safe blue area in this is the district in Maine that contains Portland and maybe Colorado. Imagine if this is how Trump got a 50 state+DC sweep with only Portland (the other one) voting against him.
Just because states like CA and NY have signed on to it doesn't mean they're bound by it yet.
