I know that's the general impression, and I admit that so much speak for it being the truth about a large part of this group of Trump-followers. However, I don't find this condescending statement to be the only "truth" about his boisterous and seemingly non-informed fans.
From all that has been made known years ago about Donald J. Trump as a person, a public figure as well as a politician he is not someone one should expect to stand a chance of ever becoming the president of USA. Nonetheless, that's what happened and now he is desperate enough to opt for one more chance of gaining access to The White House and thus the "immunity" he needs. Everything considered the chances of that wish coming true ought to be slim, but after all, that's up to the voters. As it is, what strikes most of his non-followers as extremely strange is that not only has he fans, but they seem to adore him, yes, even think of him as some sort of "savior" which means that they will be voting for him. How is that even possible when he, to all accounts, is a sociopatic egomaniac who only thinks of himself and his own gains, neither his country nor his voters? Not even all of his followers deny that that's the case, but they don't seem to take the knowledge of his culpability to heart and back away from any association with him: WHY???????
This man is anything but a new "Jesus", and it's obvious to non-followers that he is not even a friend of people like the ones that appear at his rallies or who vote for him. Actually, before he gained his president status of power and importance, he has uttered contempt for people like those who now are following him and who aim to secure his position. For instance, he complained that they "looked poor" and poverty is something he abhors. To be poor to him means being what he shuns at all costs: One turns into a loser, a fool, and thus a laughing stock.
OK, Mr. Ex-president, follow your own advice on women and try to grab the feminine main symbol of America by the pussy as that's how you see your country
Well, one thing is what this man does both in his private life and in The White House, another is how his followers feel about him. Although they don't seem to be blind to his many flaws, I have a strong impression that they love him for them. That means that these flaws are something they like about him i.e. because they "translate" them into something they are not: A sort of "freedom fight". Seemingly he got away with a lot many of his followers got caught up doing and that's what they like about him. He is not even ashamed of what he is or has done: Normally people who have done what he has, both in his private as well as his political life feel ashamed at being caught in the act. After being caught these people blush, stammer, and excuse their misbehavior as best they can, but not Trump. No, normal excuses or explanations are not for him, as he just turns around and accuses those who exposed him and his various misdeeds. Actually, that's the tactic of Goebbels which he seems to have taken to heart and uses without regrets even when people prove that he is lying: He doesn't follow the rules, tacit or general, which proves that he doesn't feel they are his concern, and his followers love it.
All rules for socially acceptable behavior go on some kind of tacit adherence to the understanding of good-behavior in that country and time. In former times in our part of the world everything went by Christian doctrines that fenced in people and their lives: "You're a good person if you do this or that, but not if you do something else." Everybody knew these doctrines as they were common knowledge and thus their guidelines in life. However, in the recent centuries much of that has been assailed by new teachings that disrupt the impression of a safe world to many, and many individuals of today hate it. Somehow the philanderer, the (presumably) pedophile, the rapist, the fraud, the bankrupt "billionaire", the snob, etc., etc. has come to represent the opposite of what he is. People feel that he is their safeguard against all kinds of social changes which they fear as e.g. the freedom of women, abortion, non-religion, racial acceptance, etc., etc.. The so-called American school system have prepared them for someone who are more words than genuine promises of a better world, and it's very, very sad.
