    Ever time he attacks people that criticize him like this he comes off as such a weak, crying baby that I am amazed that his base is not disgusted with him, but they never are. How can they not see him for what he is?

      They love him exactly for what he is in their eyes: strong, candid and clever. For them he is honest (“he tells it like it is”) and can do no wrong (“Trump was right about everything”). What other people see as idiocy, weakness and corruption, they see as strengths.

      Big part of this appeal is that his persona gives his followers an unlimited license to be as dumb, fascist and hateful as they want.

      Because the MAGATS don’t have enough brain cells to understand how wrong they are for supporting this helmet haired douche!

      Well you see… That’s because they are also week little babies. That’s why they flock around a “strong man” like him.
