Answer

 

Donald Trump is a constant source of entertainment and mockery. We The People of the United States of America find Donald Trump hilarious, LOL, funny, LMAO, amusing entertainment.

Donald Trump is Tony Clifton. People can not get enough of mocking, insulting, and shit-talking at Donald Trump. Crowds calling Trump stupid, dumb, idiot, clown every day for over 11 years on social media systems.

No entertainer in all human history has been able to engage audiences into comedy stupor like Donald Trump does. He truly is the Ultra Tony Clifton performer.

 

REFERENCE 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kg0vKCuAWTQ "Bob Zmuda as Tony Clifton on Late Night with David Letterman Show, February 18, 1982"

"Now, Tony, you are not a well-liked man... despite the fact you came out here and pleased this audience." - David Letterman https://youtu.be/Kg0vKCuAWTQ?t=344 at 344 seconds into video.

IMPORTANT CONTEXT: David Letterman's comedy show is in Manhattan, New York City - the family home of Donald Trump. This is what Americans value as never-ending entertainment.

IMPORTANT CONTEXT: I am not just saying legal voters. Don't just assume this is only the voting portion of the population. For example, a 16 year-old person finds the poopy diapers and orange skin amusing and parents adore it equally too, but not everyone in the audience to the comedy is a voter.

"This guy is a fucking idiot. 25% isn’t going to bring manufacturing back to the US. Thats still cheaper than making things here. It needs to be like 1000%

All this does is price some people out of iphones. And probably not enough to really hurt Apple.

It’s just all so stupid."
