Remember, Trump is a media STAR! Millions watched his show with bated breath. I think that the beginnings of his base were victims, sorry, watchers of his TV show wherein he was incredibly rich, famous, could do no wrong, and according to them in media, a REAL entertainer. Then he lost his show and the watchers didn't have him as a hero any longer but media created him and he was still available! They joined up and never looked back. They even brought their friends! The entertainment continued and everything is dandy.

Obviously, the American Voting Public at its very best!!

Apologies, couldn't resist. Seems as good as anything as to why................
