How was Trump so popular?

Art of the Deal. My dad had the book and when I was young, I think 5th grade, I read it and was like this is a good book. Yes, yes, it was ghost written, as are most books by famous people.

Then I totally forget about the guy until apprentice. And the show rocked. You're FIRED! As a business major, I loved watching that in undergrad. We all knew it wasn't reality, but we all thought, hey, this is our look outside the ivory tower, LOL. And Trump was funny and seemed fair. Then you see the guy go on the talk show circuits and he seemed genuine. I only saw him on a few, so can't speak for all.

then in the 2012 election I notice he is running as a TP. That was the first time I thought the guy might be a nutter. He had some fresh ideas, outside the box (for back then), but he just didn't seem real. I thought it was publicity for his show. I mean this is the guy that could go on the View, talk with Oprah and they liked him.

And then he starts off with the birther crap. At first I thought it was joke just to, again, get more attention for his show, but then he doubled, tripled and quadrupled on stupid by promising something really big and he never produced.

At this point his popularity starts severely waning.

My question is, how, up until that point, was he so popular?

His popularity wasn't what propelled him to the Presidency....nor was it the Russians. But idiots on the left wallowing in ignorance and denial prefer to pretend these are the reasons.

Trump won because unlike ALL the other candidates on BOTH sides, he wasn't a professional politician, focused on an economic message and securing the borders and didn't take shit from a leftist FAKE media that no longer feigns objectivity and blatantly supports a leftist agenda.

It isn't hard to figure it out....unless you're a brain dead clueless liberal on steroids. ;)
 
The birther crap was just stupid, I really do not know what he hoped to achieve.

Build his base.

Wrong again dumbass; Trump, for a while, actually believed the narrative that was started by the Clinton campaign.

And why wouldn't it have been believable? He wasn't forthcoming about his birth, his father wasn't an American and his mother was a flaming loser liberal who preferred globe trotting to raising a child and staying IN America.

I think it is fascinating how the LIBERAL State of Hawaii was so determined to protect Obama and prevent anyone from scrutinizing their birth records.

But that is water under the bridge and OLD news.....Trump was elected and liberal morons on steroids need to extract their collective heads from their assholes and realize that all the feet stomping, idiotic protests, lying and whining is not going to change that outcome.

Much less the FACT that under Obama, Democrats have been on an eight year losing streak with MORE to come. I only hope that Warren and Sanders become their standard bearers.....Liberals really are THAT stupid.
 
Your progression shows more about you growing up than about Trump changing. Sadly a large percent of our voting populace (the minority so far) has not grown up as you did.

Irony; a leftist dimwit thinking that whining and crying daily about Trump on a political blog is "grown up."

That said, you really are too ignorant to comprehend the irony. Dunce.
 
They lack a platform for a reason, they are fools.

Are you really THAT stupid, or THAT partisan? The one's lacking a platform are your guys you ignorant dolt. You cannot win by making your platform entirely about bashing the other guy.

^Another reason the left keeps losing; they really are dumb enough to believe the BS they are fed by the FAKE media.

Thingy thinks this thread is my total support for Trump.

Because it's obvious that people like you are easily deluded.

The writer of Trump's book calls him a sociopath and a chronic liar.

Reality TV? Really? That says a lot about your mentality.

The birther bullshit should have tipped you off about his pathological lying and instability.

Why is his popularity waning? Because people are beginning to recognize the things many of us saw from the beginning.

People love clowns. He was a P.T. Barnum showman.

You grew up in a very different family than I did. We would have no more had The Art of the Deal in our house than say a devil worship guide. My father knew that shit was fake. I watched a few episodes of the apprentice, my take was that attitudes like Rump were a symptom of what is wrong with American business. Arbitrary business decisions based on emotions and ego. I often wondered if Rump's show was intended to be satire or if he really believed in himself so much.

Now that he is trying to do something that matters, people are seeing what a piece of shit he really is.

The genesis of his popularity is emulation of an old schtick. Gorgeous George may have been the original. Look him up. The arrogant self loving clown is a tried and true formula to attract eyeballs. Trump parlayed arrogant clown to wealth and power.

Hillary had the platform (i.e. - the left wing media) and still lost. There's a reason for that. While she'll claim it was anything and everything other than her, in the end, she still lost.

Keep crying.

If you don't know the reason why it was not believable, then you are not mentally competent.
