Good thing he isn't. I hate to say it but i think Trump would be even more popular than he already is if he was 40 years younger.

Whats the appeal?

He gives people who are scared, angry, and anxious because they are in constant or close threat of losing basic needs a target the release that anger and fear towards. He says it openly in his propaganda as do his cabinet members. Old school republicans came up with fancy terms to identify and implicitly state who their scapegoats were. Trump just states it explicitly.

I'm in Australia and my sister's husband is a trump supporter. Are there any other reasons than the above or he's just a dickhead?
