    I hate his stupid fake laugh so god damn much. Never understood how he’s popular. Can’t they see him for what he is?

      You’re asking this in a nation where tens of millions think Donald Trump is president material.

      It has puzzled me too. I think it’s a combination of:

      • above average raw charisma (people subconsciously want to relate to him)
      • VERY generous / manufactured audiences
      • our strong subconscious tendency to want to laugh along with others
      • deliberate abuse of the “this is so funny I can’t help but break character” move, the most egregious and hateable thing the man does

      People look at me like I slapped their mother when I say I find him 0% funny or likeable.
