2. Lack of education on political issues
3. People do not trust Hillary Clinton
4. Trump fooled people, especially the working class, into thinking that he's gonna be different
I would also like to add a fifth point.
5. The culture of 'political correctness' that has been running rampant as of late
More specifically the 'social justice warrior' movement. These people have brought political correctness to an extreme. It has come to the point where no one can say ANYTHING without offending someone. This new PC culture is no longer about sticking up for yourself (or others) against TRUE racism or TRUE misogyny (which are things NO ONE should have to tolerate), it's about attacking those who disagree with you and slapping meaningless labels on them to win favor for your own arguments or your own agenda. Granted many ACTUAL racists and other types of despicable people have spoken out against SJWs, but that doesn't make these 'warriors' any more justified in their misguided acts of verbal vigilantism.
In my opinion this is another big factor in what allowed someone like Trump to win.
“Love is the only bow on Life’s dark cloud. It is the morning and the evening star. It shines upon the babe, and sheds its radiance on the quiet tomb. It is the mother of art, inspirer of poet, patriot and philosopher.
It is the air and light of every heart – builder of every home, kindler of every fire on every hearth. It was the first to dream of immortality. It fills the world with melody – for music is the voice of love.
Love is the magician, the enchanter, that changes worthless things to Joy, and makes royal kings and queens of common clay. It is the perfume of that wondrous flower, the heart, and without that sacred passion, that divine swoon, we are less than beasts; but with it, earth is heaven, and we are gods.” - Robert. G. Ingersoll
