Very simple reasons why people are drawn to Trump. Despite the media labeling him a populist, nationalist (as if nationalist is wrong), Trump is what most American Citizens want to be. Self-Actuated
... to realize one's full potential. Expressing one's creativity, quest for spiritual enlightenment, pursuit of knowledge, and the desire to give to society
But there's a precursor to this. As explained:
theory as the final level of psychological development that can be achieved when all basic and mental needs are essentially fulfilled and the "actualization" of the full personal potential takes place,
Mental needs is the actuall full concept here because they can encompass many other needs. Do I have food source?, Do I have shelter? Am I safe? Am I at peace with myself (religious themed), can I procreate? The 5 basic needs of our lives.
Trump is in the final phase of self actualization -- the desire to give to society. He has achieved all of his basic needs and now will become a giver. He is in balance. And we all want to be that way. To be honest, hard working, intellectual, successful and God fearing in the way we understand. We want to be self-actuated ourselves. We want to be Winners.
So there you have it ... vote for Trump and you'll be a winner ... ? or something ?

That would be like voting for someone because they're like a beer buddy you admire alot.
Self-actualized, confident, outspoken -- none of this means a person is *right,* or right for a given job.
Dig deeper, my conservative friend (whoever you are), and examine your chosen candidate more closely.
