Trump created this weird world where journalists are always wrong and fake, everyone is trying to bring him down. Everyone is bullying him because he is doing amazing and making a lot of money. I think his followers aspire to be like him, successful..and they might have been bullied or something just like trump claims to get bullied. He is collecting these people like Gaga did with her little Monsters.
It is difficult for a lot of followers to understand propaganda and that everything is an act. He often contradicts himself, so he will say he will do one thing but next day he will say he is not going to do it. Very confusing. There are a lot of things changing in the world and people are desperate for something different. People want to believe things will be great, things are getting better and he is looking out for them.
