Well of course you need to self-promote if you're running for president. Shameless? Maybe, but I think he also has positive qualities that overall 'trumps' the negative ones. For one thing, he doesn't seem to fear criticism and rejection as much as the other candidates. Although he may be abrasive at times, I feel that at the same time he radiates a sense of strength and dignity that people find attractive. He is also grateful of the support that he's been getting and he expresses this very often. He frequently mentions how honored and respected he feels. This is not arrogance, but appreciation. And I agree that he is quite unpredictable, and perhaps strange even, but again, that's not necessarily a bad thing. Some people think that this makes him "dangerous," and yet others find this attractive in some ways.
Trump is already rich and famous, so I think it's rational to say that his campaigning compared to those of the other candidates is probably less motivated by a desire for money and fame and such. This to me indicates that he is doing all of this out of a genuine love for the country and the people, not merely for selfish reasons. Also, if all of this was just an "act," then maybe he would have done a lot better by not saying things that he knows will piss off Hispanics, Muslims, women, and millions of immigrants.
