He is a weak mans idea of a strong man. He is a dumb mans idea of a smart man. He is a gullible mans idea of a trustworthy man.
A con man through and through. Only the mentally weak and brainwashed people believe in him. Too bad that there are so many of them.
There is a sucker born every minute, and they rarely ever die.
They see racism and confuse it for power.
That's what they see.
That is his strength though. Many famous republicans got cancelled and this guy tripled down on the rhetoric and got elected president twice! His ability to be a racist criminal shitbag with no concequence is a real arugable strength.
It's like a super power really. What if you could just say any nasty shit and people would applaud you for it.
They see Crying Liberals and assume victory. Not unlike under Bush or Reagan or Nixon.
This is purely the politics of resentment.
He is the weak man's idea of a strong man.
The poor man's idea of a rich man.
The dumb man's idea of a smart man.
Donald Trump is a petulant, infantile manchild, a failure at business, and he flip-flops on so many issues it isn't funny. He sucks up to dictators but bullies democratic leaders like a school yard punk.
He is a highly insecure and extremely unpleasant individual and from what I understand even has bad hygiene and stinks. His treatment of his own sons makes me think he views the world 100% like a Game of Thrones scenario where people are actively trying to kill him.
Take Barron Trump. When he was born trump described him as vicious and violent, and seemed to treat being smart as an afterthought (he said it would be the keystone traits, but him talking about it more made me think he was insecure about the answer). At various times he even had Barron wear 30 pounds of ballistic armor underneath his clothes (giving him a hunchback or deformed appearance at times) in order to 'show the world that he is protected'.
Trump's other two sons are disgusting dipshits who look like 80s B-movie villain rejects. But they don't have the charisma to draw the type of crowd that their cheeto-faced dad can. I highly doubt anyone wants to kill them, let alone someone barely out of college like Barron.
If you were 6 years old and your whole world perspective revolved around school recess... the biggest bully who steals the most lunch money would seem strong.
