Why is Donald Trump So Popular?

Based on his performance, I don't get how fully one-third of Americans strongly approve of him, at least that's what right-wing Rasmussen Reports says.

There is always 1/3 of population that is permanently disgruntled about something and Trump plays on that negativity. 

It's one the oldest political tricks in book

Their decisions are based on "alternative facts" as Kellyanne Conway reminded us.

Extreme racial prejudice.  Democrats and independents elected a black man president not once, but twice.   Then they tried to elect a WOMAN.  They are so mad over those 2 elections that they will follow the devil as long as that devil is a white man.  They accept him because he talks their language, the language of hate.

The group who still supports Trump is acting solely on blind loyalty to a brand and a symbol.  Team-based tribalism is the sort of anti-intellectual thinking that self-selects into the right wing, because it's the same root that leads to racism, misogyny, and even using religion as an excuse to hate.  Essentially, if you're a deluded moron, you end up on the far right & still support Trump in the face of all his public mistakes & misdeeds.

The Trump base is exceptionally stupid and massively evil.
