What is it about Donald Trump that still appeals to so many people? Is it his racism? His misogyny - how he describes and treats women? Is it that he stiffs small businesses and cheats on his wives, his taxes and his golf scores? Is it his claims that he won the election and is innocent of all charges, despite all evidence to the contrary? Is it his attempts to overthrow the election β and blame Pence and other officials who followed the law. Is it his claim heβs a brilliant businessman β despite his many failures and bankruptcies? Is it that he totally supports the military β when he βdodgedβ service, calls soldiers βsuckers and losers,β and uses military casualties as political props (Arlington)? Or, is it his tendency to blame everyone but himself when things donβt go his way? Trumpβs appeal continues because his inappropriate words and actions tap into the worst parts of human nature. Sadly, that approach still resonates for many people.
