I know it, do low information voters know it? They are the ones that decide who wins.
~~Dems downvoting you are ignoring why Trump won. At their peril.~~
[Edit: I see in a later comment that you clarified and people here do get it.]
Dems laugh at his meandering speech but the MAGA's appreciate he is not scripted and one actually can understand what he is on about. It looks demented on paper but it is actually how a lot of people speak. You don't need to complete your sentence if you have got the message across . MAGA think we are stupid for getting confused with our comprehension.
In the GOP primaries he mocked his competitors on stage saying that he has given many donations to politicians and the favours will be returned, even the ones on stage with him. MAGA loved the openness of the corruption.
What I don't get is why they thought he would "drain the swamp"?
