Here are some reasons Trump stays so popular with his supporters:
- Highly relatable lack of qualifications for holding government office
- Americans’ appreciation for classic underdog story of man who started with only several hundred million dollars and went on to make several billion dollars
- Only candidate to publicly state willingness to make America great again
- Exploits other Republican candidates’ weaknesses by allowing them to open their mouths and speak on issues
- Very, very handsome
- Voters eager to see presidential library with three infinity pools and rooftop driving range
- Bolstered by impassioned endorsement from Donald Trump
- Eccentric, megalomaniac billionaire still more relatable to average American than anyone willing to dedicate life to politics
- Appeals to widespread desire to see nation implode sooner rather than later
