A better questions is, "Why do any people anywhere like Donald Trump?"
It does bring to mind a quote from Full Metal Jacket, 'what is your major malfunction numbnuts?' Mean he's an obvious con man and embodies the worst we have to offer as a species and he's not shy about it. Not even clever, smart and he manages to get away with everything from trying to bribe/strong arm Ukraine to stealing classified documents, to freaking breaking campaign violations to keep someone quiet.
I know the basic answer is "because he's a cult leader," but it's still hard for me to comprehend that kind of mindset.
