But hey, let's not be inconvenient, or heavens forbid, even honest for a moment here.

Actually, Trump won the election in spite of this ! The biggest contributor to Trumps victory was the Democratic party.. They decided to back a candidate that many Americans found unacceptable. The presidential election of 2016, for many, came down to a choice between the lesser of evils.... kind of.. it was "Anybody but Hillary" camp vs. the "Anybody but Trump" camp.
Mr. Trump certainly is no orator! and he does indeed seem to come off as a petulant child to many when he speaks.. which does not make him or his intentions wrong (and it certainly does not make him correct either !)
All in all, the present political situation here in the U.S. can be attributed to an aging population... "If you are not a liberal when you are young, you have no heart. If you are not a conservative when you are old (er) , you have no brains."
