RE: What is it about Trump that has allowed him to acquire so many ardent followers?

I have no definitive idea. Maybe its populist nationalistic blinders people have acquired through cynicism.
I expect, if there's no drastic change before next U.S. election, that Trump will win again in 2020. He's riding some sort of populist nationalistic wave that I also see here in Europe, just from the EU elections where some right-leaning politicians have won in their countries.
Blaming the other side of the political spectrum for all ills without some recourse is not gonna fare well in your own favor. Only way to defeat an idea is to present a better idea.
