Combination of being a good con man (his only significant talent), unbelievably lucky timing, and a voting population dumbed down by progressive addiction to convenience, entertainment and self-delusion.
He was born first son to a bastard of a billionaire father. I don't think there is anyone luckier than Donald Trump. From day 1 he's got by on luck.
He is a good con man but i think it's worth noting that it's because he just has no conscience or fundamental ideology whatsoever, he can just unflinchingly say anything and believe it as long as he needs to.
He's not, like, clever. He's just a perfect actor.
A perfect actor if you're blind and deaf.
i don't think you understood what i said, he's the perfect actor in that he will say anything and believe anything he says. I don't think there's any script you could give to trump that he'd refuse to act out if you paid him for it.
