21. Were you not paying attention any of the times he was campaigning?

Called US WW2 troops who died losers and suckers.
Comments about not wanting to see wounded vets in parades.
Advocating shooting migrants
And just about every third comment out of his own mouth calling for violence and death to anyone he doesn't care about for the past 12 years or so. Or longer, if you want to go back.. taking out full page adds in 1989 calling for the killing of the central park 5. So that would be 36 years back.

The people who support him support him. Best I can tell, maybe 20% of voters voted for him in spite of his comments, but that leaves about 30% who vote for him because of those comments. Three times in a row, they did it. 62 million people, then 74 million, then 77 million, if the US electoral system is to be believed.
