(3,514 posts)1) Many people treat politics like a team sport. All that matters is that your favorite team wins. You will like anything that comes out about them and hate anything that comes out about the opponent. The significance of anything has little to no meaning. All that is important is winning and getting to cheer about it.
2) Trump's business has always been selling an image. He has had the image of an incredibly wealthy, successful businessman. But what business has he ever run? It's been little more than putting his name on things to sell them. So, why does that work? Because people like to think that if they wear Trump ties, and eat Trump steaks, and live in Trump towers, then they are more like Trump. He has been selling this image for decades and his is actually quite good at it. He is far better at that than running a country.
