It’s good to hear that you have your finger on the pulse of the Trump-supporting public. If you could, please explain to everyone why you think people support Trump. Please do so without any anger, insults, or belittling. Thank you. :-)

That's not difficult at all. Trump is a known celebrity with huge name recognition, a successful businessman (at least perceived as such) running for office at a time of immense national malaise, disaffection with politics in general, and a popular belief that something has to be done to reverse the general trend of the country. Desperate people do desperate things. I suspect it's human nature. If you want to see it portrayed in literature, you've only to read chapter 25, particularly the part where the two charlatans, the King and the Duke are called out by the local physician.

"I was your father's friend, and I'm your friend; and I warn you as a friend, and an honest one that wants to protect you and keep you out of harm and trouble, to turn your backs on that scoundrel and have nothing to do with him, the ignorant tramp, with his idiotic Greek and Hebrew, as he calls it. He is the thinnest kind of an impostor--has come here with a lot of empty names and facts which he picked up somewheres, and you take them for proofs, and are helped to fool yourselves by these foolish friends here, who ought to know better. Mary Jane Wilks, you know me for your friend, and for your unselfish friend, too. Now listen to me; turn this pitiful rascal out--"
