  Do not forget that one of Trump's main techniques for gaining support from people, was the way that he would trash everything. This was the worst deal, this was the worse this, this was the worse that. And then he would insert that only he, Trump, could fix it. This is simply a technique that he utilized over and over. You can try it yourself. It works with people who are suspicious and don't really have good explanations, people who are struggling, people who are overwhelmed with emotional issues and such, people who are fed up and have no specific grievance but just a general grievance. Don't forget this.
