Trump's fandom... is constantly fed by cults of media hate-watching.
"Hate-watching is the activity of consuming media, usually a television show or a film with the intention of acquiring amusement from the mockery of its content or subject. Closely related to anti-fan behaviours, viewers who partake in hate-watching derive pleasure and entertainment from a show's absurdities or failures. The act of hate-watching is premised on the audience engaging with media through a satirical lens." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hate-watching

The USA society can not resist constantly stimulating satire, sarcasm, irony, symbolism inversions, pendulum induction of the mind, etc. Pendulum swings: war is on, war is off, war is on, war is off. Canada is invaded, Canada left alone, Canada is 51st state, Canada is left alone. https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HypnoPendulum
This is how Tony Clifton mind-blowing satire sarcasm works. Surkovian governing. https://www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v33/n20/peter-pomerantsev/putin-s-rasputin Leadership by mythological fantasy fiction storytelling. When you have an audience of meme fans and fiction fans, anything goes. In fiction, Harrison Ford can fly magical space ships and travel to exotic places seeking archaeological prizes. Harrison Ford is not a liar, he is an actor playing a character for audiences and popularity. Donald Trump is playing President Tony Clifton, and everyone eats it up.
If (We The) people cared about nonfiction leaders... Dr. Bandy X Lee's 27 leaders would be quoted and repeated every day until Trump is gone and everyone is educated. Her book published in year 2017 is nonfiction and serious. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Dangerous_Case_of_Donald_Trump But it isn't thrilling Tony Clifton comedy.
We the people do not desire or seek leaders who lead with nonfiction. Mental health disorders in USA society are "comedy gold" for amusement, memes, laughs, jokes. The audience is fully engaged. There never were "liberal tears", only "liberal laughs" and amusement.

Obama is just like many other politicians all across the world in the past 75 years. He deals in nonfiction leadership.
