People captivated by his personality, power and money. Or the pretense of it.

Trump's father kept bailing him out. Every time Trump screwed up, his father took care of everything.
So Trump never had to learn any lessons. Didn't learn how to be successful or get along with others.

So then when the GOP, billionaires and Putin were looking for a useful idiot, they found Trump.
And like this father they just kept covering up for him and making him look successful in politics.
And Trump himself believes all the hype.
Such a narcissist.
