He quintessentially represents the American Dream in the early 21st century – fame, a lot of debt, infinitely narcissistic, and as big a numskull as he wants to be.

America's political class, completely self-absorbed and lacking all self-awareness, were not simply befuddled, but frightened of Trump's ascendancy.
