Say that somehow Trump doesn't get it and decides to run anyways. Come election day the people just happen to vote for him. The people have chosen, right? Nope. The electoral college can still go against the people's votes.

In theory it's supposed to be for the people by the people. In most cases it is. This year? Probably not.
