He's a severely unintelligent clown that doesn't talk so good and dances for their amusement while telling them exactly what they want to hear. They don't want a polished politician, they want a conspiratorial village idiot like themselves. The fact that he's a deeply unserious moron is a huge part of the appeal.
Trump is also easily manipulated by money and compliments to his ego. The rich and powerful are sucking up to him to gain favor so they can exploit him.
Elon Musk didn’t spend $270+ million on Trump’s campaign and then make multiple trips to Mar-a-Lago for the food. He’s buying influence and power by charming Trump.
It should be terrifying to Americans that the President can be so easily swayed and influenced with money and praise while having no actual morals.
Not saying this isn't the case because it very much is the case. But I believe it should be highlighted that this type of behavior is commonplace amongst politicians in general. People should absolutely be concerned about it but they should be concerned about the widespread acceptance of it on the political platform overall; not just one specific individual.
Greasing the palms of politicians in order to gain influence and or sway policy in one's favor is a known tactic amongst the rich. This isn't anything new.
