Hello everyone. I enjoy studying history, US presidents, and especially American presidential history. I'm at a loss for words right now. I just want to ask, one thing... I know 'how' this happened, but tell me 'why' did this happen? Makes no sense to me... Kelly Ann, Katrina, Spicy, the Donald, Pence, One and Two Corinthinans, etc.. How did T-Rump earn the lowest approval rating of any newly elected president in modern history in less than one month in office?

1st 100 days?

Try it as an analogy. Over the years, you've had various people work on your car. Some of these mechanics did a terrific job, some were terrible, but all of them at least kept your car running until another mechanic came along. In misguided desperation, you hire a mechanic who, until he came to work for you, had only heard of cars. He'd seen a few, but had never driven one, and had certainly never tried to fix one. He first act as your new mechanic is to attempt to repair your brakes by jamming a cheese-covered cabbage into the air cleaner. Might that not erode your confidence a bit?

He sucks at the job. Not really surprising. The folks who hired him weren't exactly experts themselves.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
How did it happen? Long odds were beaten because:
1. The same number of people who showed up to vote for Obama didn't show up for Hillary. 2. Votes that should've gone to Hillary went for hopeless third party candidates 3. Conservatives who didn't like Trump, but would vote for their children to be thrown into a volcano before not voting Republican 4. And last but certainly not least, there are lot of stupid fucking Americans. This cannot be understated. The decades-long diet of Rush Limbaugh and his radio brethren, together with Fox News and the rise of right wing sites, along with the shocking phenomenon of aggressively and purposefully disseminated made up news made these people vulnerable to someone like Trump.

Yeah that's pretty much it – monumental incompetence explains a lot. Boru

I always try to recognize when I sound like the nut jobs who hated Obama for crazy reasons like his wife being a man or whatever, so even at the risk of sounding overly paranoid I entertain the idea that biased news outlets and the Internet with its ability read what you like and give you more of it played a huge role in dividing the country. Why Trump happened is because his base already existed, he's just a reflection. So why his base happened should be the question.
I can't remember where this verse is from, I think it got removed from canon:
"I don't hang around with mostly men because I'm gay. It's because men are better than women. Better trained, better equipped...better. Just better! I'm not gay." For context, this is the previous verse: "Hi Jesus" -robvalue 
Trump happened because people are fucking idiots.
