Trump appeals to men secretly insecure about their manhood.
I often wonder why anyone from our kind of background would find the orange orangutan attractive-- including even some here on our forum. This study may very well be the answer, or partly the answer.
« The political process provides a way that fragile men can reaffirm their masculinity. By supporting tough politicians and policies, men can reassure others (and themselves) of their own manliness.

...our research suggests that Trump is not necessarily attracting male supporters who are as confidently masculine as the president presents himself to be. Instead, Trump appears to appeal more to men who are secretly insecure about their manhood. We call this the “fragile masculinity hypothesis.” »
And there you have it; makes sense.
