Ok you just connected the dots for me.

A friend argued Trump's speaking is identical to Hitler's AND a typical stand up comedian monologuing. Basically, the idea is you tell the people what they want to hear, but to figure out what they want to hear, you have to let your train of thought go crazy, then as the crowd wildly reacts, you change the path of the train to go that route to build up support.
Trump supporters are morons
Trump supporters think he's good at speaking
Trump supporters hear his rambling nonsense, but TO THEM all political speeches sound like rambling nonsense.
Trump supporters hear the things they understand, and think that he is talking about things they care about.

That’s the crux of the entire thing. And honestly, many of these people don’t believe anything out of their own mouths. Obamacare’s bad, but the ACA is good. They quite literally do not use dictionary definitions of words, so they just get to feel however they please. You can prove it easily. Ask any American if they think the workers or the managers should get raises from profits. No one will say managers. Yet 99% of those same people will say populist socialist policies are the worst things to ever grace the earth.
