Also, the problem with all the pieces that focus on Trump’s style is that they completely ignore his substance. Trump’s position on immigration is only “controversial” in the sense that the elite are against it while everyone else is for it. Thus it’s not surprising that Trump is doing well. In fact looking at other western countries we see parties with similar positions doing well despite having styles that are all over the place.
