You are right. He did not get this recognition overnight.
He had to have numerous sex scandals with numerous different wives
He had to have his face plastered on tabloids and the top fold of many newspapers disparaging him for bankruptcy, divorces and ludicrous statements
He has been made famous for going on talk shows and making statements about having sex with his daughter
Yep, things like this will make you famous and universally known and in my eyes an immoral POS that does not belong in the White House
You nailed it right there.
