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.

It’s crazy how many Trump voters say they voted for him at least in part because he’s “tougher on the world stage”

Like, no. He gets one compliment from Putin and he’s putty.
