Trump's essential demographic is lower-income, less-educated, older white men.

They had been abandoned by Dem leadership & were looking for a saviour. They were gullible enough to believe a narcissistic psychopath when he said "I am your retribution".

They voted for him because he hated who they hated.

They didn't twig he hated them as well.

@DrALJONES @samk I think of Trump as Mr. TV. He's TV personified. If he had a TV for a head with a zoned out audience, the picture would be complete.
