Trump's base likes Trump because he makes them feel good. He hates the same people they do (women, blacks, hispanics, gay people, etc..) He says things they've always wanted to say. Like them, he lacks basic empathy and is nothing more than a schoolyard bully.
Oh they'll try to toss out "The Economy!" ignoring that the economy doesn't work for everyone. Especially since income inequality is at an all time high! But they only do so in order to convince themselves they're in the right. Because when they look in the mirror, they see someone very ugly on some level. They'd never admit it. And they might not even realize it because they lack self awareness in addition to empathy and a conscience. (This is why they're fine locking kids in cages. The most you'll get out of them is "Obama did it too!" as if that somehow makes it okay).
He just makes them feel good. Because they're delicate snowflakes who need to be coddled lest they have to face the real world.
