Trump's persona is a lot like Richard Nixon. Not the sweaty, uncomfortable, dress shoes on a beach, Nixon that we got to know in public.
Its more like the one on the White House tapes after he got good and soused, and started ranting about the 'Jews', bombing the 'goddamned hell' out of North Vietnam, asking Kissinger to confirm his views on homosexuality, and aborting interracial babies.
I guess that appeals to a certain older, white, stupid, bigoted, authoritarian demographic. Trump reaches out to the 12 percent of Americans who, in their heart of hearts, know that behind closed doors they are all Richard Nixon.
