(1,307 posts)Trump is an absolute idiot.
But, he is also a bully. A terrorizing bully. He has bullied his way through life and continues to bully anyone and everyone he comes in contact with... except the bigger, louder, more successful bullies.
The people who worship him are bully wannabes. They defer to him for the same reason he defers to bigger, badder bullies.
The people who kowtow to his every whim are those afraid to stand up to the bullies.
The only reason he is successful is because his entire life he has had the money and/or power to be able to use the press as his terror bully tool.
The press fawn on him because... ratings... because he is so outrageous and such a loud, terrorizing bully. They gravitate to that instead of the quiet, thoughtful types because... rubbernecking car wrecks is such a thing. And he gives them what they want; loud, angry, nasty, over the top antics everyday.
