Trump makes sense...

...a good article about Trump's appeal states that a good portion of the white American electorate, the ones with no jobs or bad jobs etc., like all the things about him that the rest of us can't stand...they LIKE that he's a successful con man who bends the rules and does as he pleases and gets away with it.

In past elections the Americans who "play by the rules" have been praised and touted as the good guys, the ones to emulate...but more and more they appear to be suckers and the one who gets what he wants, no matter how or whom he hurts, is the hero...anti-hero, maybe, but hero all the same.

The "play by the rules" types now appear to be suckers who played by the rules and only lost and keep losing while Wall Street crooks and Trumps break the rules, even commit crimes, but somehow manage to win anyway.

It's a mistake to think you can "open the eyes" of Trump lovers by saying how negative he is or what a con man or divider or even racist...these are the things many people LIKE about him, so you're not going to convince them by "exposing" Trump.

To them it is this system, this establishment, "playing by the rules", which has been "exposed" and they don't like what they see, don't like the deck stacked against them, the opportunities dwindling etc. Trump has triumphed in this system by bending if not breaking rules and he gets away with it...to them "getting away with it" is the new "play by the rules".
