Donald Trump has his style of explaining things and how to resolve any issues by making short statements and giving short and simple explanations of any problem. Also, he always sounds confident, which makes people easier to believe him and support him. On the other side, his politics are against immigrants, and he is introducing new laws that will prevent many of them to get to live in the United States. Because of that, he has great support from many people in the country that share his opinion on that topic.
Furthermore, one of the main reasons why so many people voted for Trump in the first place is the increased apathy for politics, with many people being sick of the political establishment. The current president represents someone who is against the elite. Also, he is someone who often says things in public that many others would be afraid to. While sometimes sounds like he is not being politically correct, his speeches have its purpose. Nevertheless, no matter if someone supports him or not, his popularity is not doubtful because his statements are always on the top pages in the news. He represents an intriguing person who always says what he has on his mind. Even if there are many people who are not supporting his politics, he surely is a strong leader.
